Rescue



January 3, 2013

Help! Stuck inside the house with the house key and I cannot get out! This is the last desperate message I received in my “in” box just as I was shutting down my laptop. Tomoko is sooo fortunate I got the email in time since she can’t speak Portuguese to  explain the situation to the renters below (if they are even around) and has no phone to contact us. Sent the recruits over to help her slide the house key thru a window to attempt to unlock the door from the outside. Not even sure she has rations…poor thing!

Transparent perfectly round jellyfish galore dotted the beach this morning, high undulating treacherous waves tore thru and toppled many a child. Considered sloughing into the surf yet realized I would consequentially have to be rescued by the virile deeply tanned red-shirted capped life guards patrolling the semi-crowded beach. Though that might not be such a bad experience I would probably end up on someone’s Facebook page in a tagged photo in my stark white runners top hitched up to obtain a better tan and my black bottoms that cover a non-Brasilian rounded butt. So, when I am thinner, have a more appealing bum, the perfect swim suit combination for my body and a good tan I will be willing to have a search and rescue episode with the life guards. Be sure someone is there to catch it on camera and post it, ok?

Books arrived via Correios today. I wasn’t home to encounter the Chippendale guy which was a huge disappointment. My good friend, Kay sent them along with a local Port Townsend newspaper and a box of slightly melted truffles. Yum! Everyone was so excited and crowded around for a peek. I am just finishing War and Peace so this is perfect timing. I am so grateful for the wonderful friends I have.

Dono had more medical tests today and she always insists on stopping for her favorite sugary egg tarts and having a bite to eat in a restaurant. When she gets out, she takes full advantage and as a result the medical excursion takes up most of the afternoon.

The water has run out again…so I have to turn on the switch for ten minutes to allow the pump to push the fluid up into the tank. Please preserve our fresh drinking water!
