The bad way
Why is it that I always seem to find the bad way to lose weight?
In 2004 it was Dengue fever, trimmed me right down. Now, its bank-induced poverty. This is starting to get bad. According to the FedEx site my package has not moved in 36 hours. Should I have expected anything else? Get royally screwed over by my bank, only to have FedEx line up for their turn? I wrote them, pleading for someone to explain to me what is happening… it might take several days just for my package to make it from Managua, and its not even in Nicaragua yet!
This is really, really, really grating. This is now the fourth complete day I´ve been trapped here. I hate surfer culture, I hate being surrounded on all sides by spoiled airheads who only wear shirts while they are in the water. Duude, gotta watch out for that board rash. Nothing worse than hearing a Swede speak English with a So-Cal surfer accent; give me a break.
So this is point desperation. I´m paid through until Monday morning at my hotel. If it doesn´t come then… gasp…
I´m going to ask someone to wire me $200 so I can just flat-out go home. The only remaining thing I want to do is learn to dive, but I´ll scrap that too if I have to go through more of this prisoner garbage. Seriously.
Its like in cartoons, where a character is starving to the point where everyday objects turn into giant turkey roasts, and they´ll sink their teeth in only to flashback to reality with a shoe in their mouth. Unfortunately, my IPOD is starting to look very delicious, i´m sure there´s a pawn shop nearby…
