Life has been moving at a somewhat more rapid pace recently. I've been getting a new property up to snuff for the season and there always seems to be a new task to get done. Everything takes a couple of different moving pieces to all coordinate at the same time and then something will change the next 6 steps. But what the hell, it isn't brain surgery.
The real issue is the lack of surf. Ugh, it is easier to get through the little things when I have the taste of saltwater, pretty amazing to find a passion that exemplifies all the aspects I really never knew I possessed. I had the chance to watch a professional surf the other day at my local break and it was cool how effortless it looked for her. In my mind the pop up feels like climbing a ladder, a multistep process. Pro's have a bit more grace but I'd like to see how good they'd be if they started at 40. Really though, amazing to watch. My buddies and I all had a good time in the water, saw the most amazing sunset and then met the family for an overpriced but free dinner. Not too shabby for a Wednesday.

Beachy post
Just another blue blue sky day. Living in mexico in a beach town is different than my dreams of living in an oregon beach town, as I am reminded by Amy, our welcome guest from PDX. We were sitting downstairs in the shady newly painted living room discussing our friend Morgan who lives in Pacific City, OR. We talked of our visits to the beach towns of Netarts and Lincoln City. Reminiscing about being on the land side of the dunes and feeling the heat and then crossing over to the ocean side, how the wind would rip down the beach to freeze you no matter what preparations your tried to make. I think we need some more nautical or shell related knick knacks around the house. True, Treva’s jellyfish themed paintings do bring some beachiness to our house but I think we need some more.

5 minutes
Five minutes a day- that is the plan. I spend more time making coffee in the morning so I can do this. Set my timer and go. Okay- set.
Today is hurry up and wait. There are two trucks coming form walmart with something like 19 matrimonials and 5 individual mattresses for families here. I feel a certain guilt talking about the issues I have had with the procurement of these mattresses and the distribution thereof but really, holy cow. First you need the hope of getting money to pay for such an undertaking- thank god for Grupo Pro Sayulita. Then you need to go out and explain that there is the chance you can get new mattresses that were ruined in the flood. You get a list that you then need to double check against people who know who really lost what and who may be trying to ride the train to new mattress land. You wait for the money to come. You cash a huge check and then carry bundles of cash to Walmart to ask them to drop their prices and put up with hit or miss delivery. You arrange for TIME’S UP!!!
