Sheep Guarding Llama

Luciana and I have had a plan all week to make home made pizza together today, we are getting good at picking out ideas and waiting the whole week to execute on Sundays. She actually looks forward to us not have a cook in the house so that we can have the kitchen and do a project together.

My morning started with a power outage at the office in Belize City, so I had to hop out of bed to deal with that a little early in the morning.

Most of my day was spent in my office working away on the new chat application that we are building this week. I’m feeling so good about this one, it is amazing that we’ve gotten so far, so fast.

In the early afternoon Luciana and I spent an hour or so together in the kitchen prepping our dough for our pizza plans tonight. We are making focaccia pizza

All day I was feeling a little under the weather. This morning it was a little cough and phlegm. But in the evening, probably around five, I was in a meeting and it turned into a serious migraine (there was never a fever so it seems that that was all that it was) and it was so bad by six that I couldn’t continue the meeting and was getting nauseous from the pain. So I had to jump out of the meeting, took the dogs, cranked the air conditioning and went to bed.

I slept for two hours before Luciana woke me up to have some of the pizza. It turned out really well. I had two pieces and then returned right to bed. Luciana ate five pieces, which will be a bit much for her by tomorrow.

I slept the rest of the night in quite a bit of pain. We were unable to find any Ibuprofen around the house so I had to endure without any medication.

The search went very quickly. After looking at a few houses today, there was a clear winner that should have enough space for us. We hope to have things locked up by tomorrow and in no time we should have a new place to be living near the center of Leon, Nicaragua.

We have decided that we really need a house in Leon. We are there so often and being at the beach so much is wearing on us. Not because it is the beach, but because it is our business and living at your own business, especially one that runs twenty four hours a day is exhausting. Living with your staff always there popping in to talk to you, always in your business, no lock on the door, even guests just randomly popping their heads in thinking your bedroom is the bathroom, and the constant music thudding from teh bar next door: it wears you down over time.

And we like being able to go out in Leon. Going from the beach is expensive and tiring. So we have started to look at having a place in Leon to use part of the time.

Puesta del Sol opens a new restaurant and cocktail bar today, and a pool just for guests. Looks interesting.

Our “new” security gate has been installed at the Simple Beach Lodge. The old one just fell down. Not very secure.

Dominica made advent calendars for the girls. Ciana is enjoying opening hers.

Allen is back from his trip abroad. He’s been in Costa Rica and came up by bus.

Big work day for me overall.

I’m really wanting a Fuji XT-4, but an Olympus EM1 MK2 would make more financial sense. Trying to decide what professional camera to get for the future of my filming.

Liesl and I have been binging Brooklyn Nine Nine.
