Its 8:39 AM. I fell asleep sometime around 8 PM last night unintentionally- apparent by my uncomfortable jeans, bra, scarf, etc that were still on just a half hour ago. I knew I was sleepy, but man...12 hours. Anyways, I'd like to think that this is my body saying, "Teresa in just 9 short days you WILL revert back to your ways of sleeping before the sun comes out, waking up before 12 (most days...), and eating dinner at 6 instead of 11." Apart from Sunday, I've been going to bed much earlier and getting up before 9. I even went on a run the other day (very anti Teresa in Córdoba, I'm really sore today). And "why not Sunday" seems to be the leftover question. Heres the answer: went to an Asado at the 194 Larañaga house- I never know what to call it because I'm friends with everyone (all 5) that lives there. Mark, the 29 year old aspiring writer, guitar playing, Korea loving estadounidense left yesterday so we had a going away party for him. Feasted on delicious chorizo, steak, bread, wine.... One of my last asados here. Anyways, even more proof of my body preparing for the change? During the party, at around 2 AM, I was a Lame Lara and went and took a nap in Emilys bad while everyone kept hanging out on the terrace because I was THAT tired. I woke up at 4 and continued to socialize....Was home by 530.
I know I've mentioned how I seem to strike up random conversations in random places. Mainly it stays at the "random conversation level" But one person I've actually become friends with is Maria Jose, she works at the Kiosco/Fruit&veggie place right across from my house (you can see it from my front door). Anyways, last night she came over and we had some coffee and talked for about an hour. I love how fascinated people can be about the United States/San Francisco/my life/everything. I don't know what the point of mentioning this was.....Maybe becuase I'll really miss that. The other day I went to the "vegetariano" (a dank vegetarian restaurant) with Mark and I ran into my used book store friend, the old man who gave me recommendations and invited me for a beer. I have to remember to stop by before I leave Cordoba. I'm realizing this city isn't so big after all...
Christmas music just came on my shuffle. It kinda feels like Christmas here because its rainy and cold. Actually, I had "its beginning to look a lot like christmas" stuck in my head yesterday....
Ants attacked my honey!!!! This morning I went to make some chamomile/anis tea....and tragically discovered that ants had found a little pot of gold to feast on. (Or what is it ants do??)
