Busy busy day - do I say that too often ??  I feel like maybe I do ...

Well, Les and I had lunch together. It was only 15 minutes, but it was lunch !!

Here is how the day went:

i did not sleep very much last night. a lot on my mind and i woke up to make a list without waking Les up - funny to sneak around your own bedroom !!!  jeez .....

we have 3 guests. they have been here before. they know the ropes. makes for a smooth visit.  really nice to see them. they have their own boat. they had dinner with Joaquin. All is great.

les woke up early to make sure coffee was perking and see if anyone wanted food food food.  guys had coffee and hit the sea right away. it is now 4:20 and they are  just rolling in. must have been a good fishing day. turns out some of them got vry seasick. it was quite windy !  They are firemen from North County.

In the morning, I did some emails in the room and then came down. went to the beach to get signatures for the biosphere - the delegado letter went out via email today. the coop letter went out last night. And the signatures started in the store and I will grab them in about 30 minutes.  since i was at the beach anyways, i decided to sell., made about  $20.00. Not a lot, but it all helps and i was there anyways. there was water everywhere - the tide was superhigh this morning - did u happen to notice the moon last night ? no wonder i didnt sleep so well. it was huge in the sky.  anyways - got 3 pages front and back of signatures asking for the landfill.  great day.  The lady at the beach who sells food finished the sale for me and wants to do it a couple times a week !  how cool is that ? veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

went to see Grecia and she was holding her garage sale. She did Ok, nothing major. Then I came home and put the money I had away, readied papers for class at 2. ran back to the beach to get the garage sale stuff. went to grecia and picked up her stuff. dropped ALL of it at Edith's. she is a great seller and will do a great job tomorrow.

Came home and was taking the clothes off the line when i hear her voice.  Edith came with a poster that says that Punta Abreojos is having a huge environmental get together this weekend. No day NO date NO time.

hey. who needs that kind of information ?????????????

so i call our delegado or sherriff to get the number of the delegado in PA and the COOP there's number as well. Call the PA delegado. They know nothing. Call the COOP and ask for the president. Someone nicknamed Franky. He comes on and we talk. The meetings were put together by the son of one of the bigwigs. Biologists etc to talk about the biosphere and ecotourism. right up my alley. i ask if i can go. i ask if the coop bigwigs here can go and if he will pls let them know about it. I ask if they already have their permit for the landfill and they do. i ask how he got it so fast and he says the women in Punta ABreojos did their cleaning job pics 2 years ago - I saw it !!  That is where I got the idea to do the same !! and because the governor saw it, he gave all the permits and the money. i am bummed. major upset. the governor never came to our tournament or I would have met him and he would have helped me. Well, Franky and I agree that we will meet each other on Sat at the get together. and feeling very cheated and bummed,  I ask him to pls. take me to the governor. he laughs.  and we hang up laughing.

Once off the phone, edith tells me the guy is a vet. well, heck, i know Franky the vet cause of REX !!!!!!! So I call back and say "Franky. you do know me and Les !!  We have the dog named Rex and went to see you years ago when he had a serious flea problem.  Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, he says, sure I remember you.

so, I say, well, you made us sit in your livingroom and wait forever to see you since you were busy ...therefore YOU OWE ME BIGTIME AND I WANT TO MEET THE GOVERNOR.

He laughs and says he will introduce me with pleasure. Folks, now we are getting somewhere !   I will ask him to call the biosphere first. then the governor.

Now I feel better.
