Day 234

Yay! We got one of the two bikes the other day. The second one, we have been informed, is on the way.

Alas, the tires on the first bike are flat, go figure, so we had to order helmets, plus a tire pump; none of which will be here for another week, or so. We must delay our weight loss/ better health adventure for yet another week.

Having typed that, I will admit, honestly, that it is just another day here in sunny México City. The temperature is nineteen degrees C, or seventy one degrees F. The sun is shining, as per its usual, and the air is breezy, and sweet smelling.

Unfortunately, there is still nothing to do today, except more laundry, vacuuming, and mopping of the floors. I say that because that has become a frequent ritual around here; the price one pays for having the windows open twenty hours a day, and living close to a semi active volcano. The black dust all over everything is just something to which one becomes accustomed.

When we first moved in, I did not really notice it. It was everywhere at Juan’s house, where we were staying while the bulk of the remodeling was happening. Now, however, having been in our condo for some eight or nine months, it is everywhere here, as well. Something to do with ones day, I suppose. Soon, I have been told, we should be able to go to the Mercado’s again. There are a few things we want to buy that are for decoration here.

While we wait for those upcoming day, and receiving the second bike, helmets, and tire pump, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and, protect your loved ones.
