Recovery Week Part 2

So Yeah like I was saying, Wednesday night I was at Nacho and Alicia´s till after 12 because I got hooked on this show called "Without Boobs There Is No Paradise." Its basically about a drug and crime lord who is slowly dragging his childhood love into his world of drugs and crime because he can´t escape from it. But its not as bad as is sounds and The Duke is extremely attractive and has a raspy voice. Victor and Nacho are jealous. Then I came home and Manolo and Raquel were there for dinner but I went to bed fairly early.

Thursday, February 14th I had work and taught all the kids about Valentine´s Day. A delicate subject for perverted adolescents. Then I guess home and lunch and Fama untill guitar. Then I came home went running and chatted with the roommies as they were getting ready to go out but I stayed home and since I was still exhausted, after talking to Victor for a bit on the phone I went to bed early.

Friday I had work in the morning, all day, came home, ate lunch, and went to have class with Pablo. Then I rushed home, ran, and took a quick shower. Then I went to Caribesol, the salon where I usually get my legs waxed. But this time I was advancing into the world of laser hair removal, a world unknown. Details will be omitted from the blog but if you would like them you can ask me. Over all I think I am pleased with the results. Then I came home, picked up some pants I had hemmed, and started cleaning my room and eating dinner and dinking around. I didn´t have any plans that night as Victor was arriving from Scottland and wouldn´t arrive in Granada until Saturday morning after his meeting. Around 10 Michelle told me that some people were coming over to her house to watch a movie. While I was tired, feeling antisocial, had things to do and had just had hair removed from my body, I remembered my New Year´s Resolutions and forced myself to go. I´m glad I did. There were a lot of girls there and it is good to make friends. We talked and then watched a complete girly movie, Centerstage. A horrible movie about ballet dancers. Apparently there is no such thing as a ballet dancer who is also a good actor. Not too long after I got there, Victor called to say hi and see what I was doing. I told him that I ended up going to Michelle´s house after all. Michelle´s house is by the bus station and really far away so he asked how I was getting home, since the buses stop running after a while. I wasn´t sure, but there were a lot more people there so I wasn´t worried and said I would give him a toque when I got home. So we´re watching the movie, watching the movie, and he gives me a toque, a short call where u let it ring once and hang up, as a free way of communicating. So I send him a message that I´ll be home soon and not to worry there were a lot of people in the same situation as I was. We were there till about 2, took the night bus home and on my way between the bus and walking to my house, Victor calls me. Suprised that he is still awake at almost 3AM, I ask what he´s doing and why isn´t he sleeping for his meeting the next day. He says he´s been waiting and just can´t rest until he knows I´m safely at home. Well I was touched and shocked at his sweet concern and told him I was almost there. So I get to the door of the building and give him a toque. Then I wait for the elevator and go up to the 8th floor. There on my doorknob is one of my favorite candy bars that you can find only in the UK, that I had asked Victor to bring me. So I stopped and stared at it for a while. Thought about how that could have gotten there. Wondered some more, completely dumbfounded. Then I realized that Victor must have come to suprise me in Granada but have to go back to Malaga for his meeting the next day, and I started to feel really bad that I had spent the whole night out, of his suprise. So I called him, he hung up, and I called him again and he said hey I´m downstairs! , So I ran downstairs. Turns out that he didn´t have a meeting the next morning and he just came early to give me one of the best suprises ever!!! It was great and especially great because he didn´t have that stupid meeting. So then we were hanging out at his house for a while, and talked with Raul when he came home. He was quite tipsy and told us in detail about his watch that is a barometer, can tell you the altitude and elevation, and humidty and temperature and when the sun is going to rise and set and this and that and is also a compass. That was a fun conversation between 2 really sleepy and 1 drunk person. Then Victor and Raul went to bed, and since I hadn´t stayed home to wrap and get Victor´s Valentine´s Day present all ready, I stayed up an extra hour to do so and went to bed around 5AM.

Even though I was taking it easy all week and trying to recovery from a cold and Cádiz, Friday started a weekend and another week of little sleep.
