Days Of The Week

Being without a phone, and no contact with the busy world, time seems to take a different agenda. Each morning someone will mumble out, what day is it? Someone will throw out, "Monday," someone else adds, "Does it matter?"....... So what day is it? I had to turn on my phone and look at the day. Drum roll......it's Wednesday! Yes, I knew the election was yesterday, "very messy" but still couldn't remember what day it was. You just seem to lose time here........and we aren't even on the real journey yet. A few more weeks for boat repairs.......
Each morning on my visit to the (bano), I see the same little man walking down the docks, taking out trash. I know the correct response is "Buenos Dias" and each time we meet and I'm ready to use my Spanish words, he gives me the most intense stare that I instantly become BRAIN DEAD! So far this past week, I've choked out, Bueno D, Bue, Di, Hola, O, and B, along with just walking on by.... This morning I see him coming up the sidewalk and I prepare my brain for the perfect greeting. I say it over and over in my head, (mind you I have no problem saying this or any other greeting in Spanish, during the day to anyone else), just this little man! So this morning I see him coming down the street, and he does "THE STARE" and I spurt it out "Bueno Dias" with great flare.......and he laughs right out loud. This little stinker knows he's giving me a head trip and he loves it! I think tomorrow I'm going to stop right in front of him and watch his reaction.....lol
Today were off to the WalMart, and then to Home Depot....should make for an interesting day!
