Got my hair cut today, a lot. It's a lot like I have had it in the past only a little shorter, but the curl is back and I think it looks cute, at least I have some style again. This stylist is a little scissors happy, but since it grows so quickly down here, it gives me a few extra weeks before it will need cut again.

Finally today I can say I feel like the flu is gone. I actually feel good. I went and worked out in the pool and even took a walk and I didn't need to take a nap anywhere in there. It was almost a full two weeks before I could say any of those things. I was starting to feel as though I was never going to feel "good" again. But...I can testify, it does end, so take hope, if your suffering through it now.

Payday Cruzan style, or another just shoot me moment here in paradise. For six weeks now Rick has had to babysit his weekly invoice in order to get paid, now today they decide that they will pay him on Fridays (a change from the Tuesday that they originally agreed to)and they will deliver his check to the job site (no time specified). The problem is our bank, like all other banks down here, closes at 3:00pm, therefore that money won't be available to us until Monday, and only then if I take Rick to work so I can have the car and go to the bank. This won't be too bad after this week, but thinking we would be paid today or at least tomorrow, I had my haircut today and there is very little money left (not enough to get us through to Monday) with the price of gas it will be interesting. It's always something down here and it usually involves our getting paid. Are you kidding me?
