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!!!
