Megan left Merida on Monday, so I have been fending for myself since then. The apartment is very lonley without her and I have a hard time sleeping at night. Last night there was a either a bug, a frog, or a bomb "chirping" outside my front door. Normally that kind of thing would actually help me fall asleep instead of bother the hell out of me but last night it kept me up. Mostly because I had a migraine (another result of Megan not being here to remind me that it is hot and I should drink water, why did you have to leave?) and also because I have an over active imagination and convinced myself it was a bomb. I even went and put the computer closer to the door so Kody could evaluate the noise over skype, he agreed it sounded like a bomb...so I am not THAT crazy. 

I went on an adventure yesterday to find a silver shop that we always go to while we are here. I couldnt find it..I abandoned that searcha nd tried to find a soap shop that we stumbled into once that has really cool soaps and lotions and I couldnt find that either. I did buy something to put my toothbrush in finally, hooray! Also, I am really craving a sandwich. REALLY BAD. There is a subway around the corner and I am so tempted to go...but I won't, I know that is probably a terrible idea and wont cure my craving at all. I still have a horrible migraine...I dont know what that is all about either. I have been living off spaghetti for the past few days because of my stomach and that might have something to do with it...Man, I would killlll for some Watercourse biscuits right now, or a sandwich. When I go to the grocery store I am gonna get some sandwich material. 

Speaking of my stomach, I am so lucky that Carlos is here and was able to get me some medicine for my stomach! Seriously, what would I do without him? 

Also, I think my landlord hates me. My back door goes into his kitchen and in the past couple of days he has needed to open that door twice, once to bring me water and once to let the maid, Manuela in. When he needs to open the door he just knocks on it and yells, "OPEN THE DOOR!" in a very urgent tone so I run to get my keys (even though I know they don't work in his door) and then yell through the door that I can't but he keeps yelling "OPEN THE DOOR!" it doesnt matter if I say it in English or in Spanish..but today it finally occurred to me that he is not demanding that I open the door he is just asking me, even though it doesnt sound like a question. I hope he doesn't kick me out on the street for being so incompetent.  

On another note, I haven't used the AC in 2 days. I am pretty proud of myself but i turned it on today because I am starting to think I can't gauge how hot it really is and am concerned that it might be the cause of this migraine. 

It is so hot, I think I am going to take a taxi to the grocery store. It is 10 blocks away and my brain hurts.
