Economy Accomodations in Paradise

It´s strange, but the longer we´re here, and the more comfortable we get, the less I think things are funny. I guess I get used to what struck me as strange before. However, we did get our ugly rug cleaned in a round about way this week.

Our landlord is trying very hard to make the place nextdoor rentable without spending hardly any money, just as he did with our place. So he was water pressure cleaning the floor next door when we realized that we were getting the dirty water from next door into our "living room" via the door that connects us. Naturally it got our ugly rug all wet, which turned out to be the silver lining because then Arturo cleaned it and behold! It´s not such a bad looking rug, for an ugly rug. Little by little our apartment is getting liveable. Or more liveable at least.

We took our dead computer to the Toshiba people and they cleaned it up and pronounced it well. We took it home and it´s still as dead as it was before. The curse of Valent machinery, although the Nook and the phone both work now. The Nook just hated it´s little pink holder and the phone needed more minutes. It´s mainly a phone for local stuff...I´m not sure it will work for out of country calls, but if you want to try, 52 is Mexico´s number, I don´t know what PV´s # is, but ours is 322-156-6934. I´ve memorized and I´m so proud.

We´ve been here a month, and I realized yesterday that we have 2 more to go. It seems like a long time to be in Paradise, but it certainly could be worse. Maybe in NV in below zero weather?

Love from she who is stuffed full of refried beans and rice, Rita
