tried to take a pic of the view from the window of the airplane. Not sure why these photos are out of order on the disk from how they were taken on the film camera.
Tried covering the flash obviously didn’t work lmao

This was a cool camera to take since it wouldn’t matter if it got stolen or not but it survived my horsefall and for the most part the only thing I had trouble with was fogging up and certain situations like this where I attempted to cover the flash.

Day 2:
I had an orange this morning & it’s nothing like the one’s from home. It’s nowhere near as sweet. I miss my dogs. This trip will serve to steer me away from social media. & attempt to regain my childhood ability to be daring, Be scared and do things anyways. Also I never knew how much not knowing what time it is bothered me so much. Kept waking all through the night. I’m still not used to the time change. Woke up & got ready & took pictures of the sun rising. Had breakfast w/Michel & Anna. Anna & I had a great conversation about racism/classism in America/Russia/France. It seems that everywhere around the world the rich are keeping themselves rich. We spoke of this as well as gun violence in America. After breakfast I went w/ Michel to learn how to ride a horse for the first time. I was excited but also scared. I think I did okay but my vagina/knees hurt lmao! I think about how Leecha and Dona Mago had fallen off a horse & I was worried. They are strong beautiful creatures. I fell once but it wasn’t too bad I was just a little shaken up but I got back on. Michel says you have to fall 100 times to be a good rider so now I only have 99 more times to go. We came back & I was thankful that Michel lent me his iphone charger so I could reach my family thinking it was still Thanksgiving. It was 4pm here and 10AM in the USA lol so it had already past. I cooked myself dinner (not the best) I had no salt & what I thought were calabazitas were actually zuccinis lmao. Since I had no salt I used the only think I had; soy sauce. It wasn’t that bad. Tomorrow I will tell Michel the hot water in this room is not working properly. The water is tepid at best. Next door where the kitchen is the hot water works perfectly so I think I will just shower there tomorrow morning. It’s only 5:37PM here but I’m exhausted so I’m going to bed now.

This is one of the only survivors of a plant I tried to propagate too much. Idk what happened a lot of them died but this one didn’t! You can cut leaves in half and it helps them survive!

Eating a spicy tortellini pasta/drinking white wine while reading my newly thrifted book. I only found this and a cool leather jacket with a unique orange color. It was funny there were a few things I would’ve gotten if they weren’t so expensive. There’s a book on French Impressionism, Van Gogh, but they were like $14. This cool jacket I’ve had my eye on for awhile now but it’s priced at $40 and it’s faux fur it’s just funky and cool but too expensive. There was a nice little Babe Ruth souvenir pocket knife, and the same coasters I have in my kitchen. There was an electric scale I was going to get to weigh my clothes but it was $10. Got the orange jacket for $5 and the book for $4.99 I’ve gotten cool books from there. They’re not always in the best condition though.

Couldnt sleep at all last night kept waking up. Finally got up at 5:45 around 6:20 I went to feed the baby goat it’s morning bottle and he was dying. I was so sad but there was nothing I could do when I came back into the room he was gone. I wanted to call out from work. Death happens sometimes. Even when we try to prevent it. She lasted a few more days longer than her sibling. I might have over fed it. Not sure what happened but I feel good about having tried.
Still sad though.
Work has been good lately.
Didn’t want to get home today because I knew what I’d be coming home to. I avoided it for a bit talking to Izzy on the phone.
Took care of everything wt the goat. Bums me out.
Continued to clean everything the kitchen, living room, my room, rr. Afterwards I used the left over sauce from yesterday’s pasta. I took the $5 of raw shrimp I bought and deveined and peeled them while washing them. In a pan simmering I had 2 cloves of garlic cooking in melted butter. As I finished washing the shrimp I kept adding them until they were all done. I added 1 jalapeño, 1 roma tomato, some purple onion, breve, & yesterday’s sauce. I stirred until it was boiling. I added perfectly cooked spaghetti noodles and topped it with queso cotija it was better than yesterday. Not too too big on seafood but I did one vegetarian and one seafood meal for the week now!
