I haven't been able to sleep for the past two nights. It's an horrible feeling to be up so many hours when you actually want to sleep. I never thought the heat was that bad during the nights here, and there's no air conditioning. In Puerto Rico, we've had very hot nights but at least my bedroom there has three very big windows that I always keep open and outside them there's an open space with trees and plants; oxygen! Here, the bedroom has one small window and a feet away there's a wall from the building next to the apartment. The fans blow out hot air, and I really feel I can't breathe. I try using the water bottle spray but the water dries in seconds. I've tried sleeping on the sofa, on the living room's floor and although it is slightly fresher there, it is still unbearable. I really don't know what to do. I need to come up with a solution because I don't want to spend the rest of my weeks here sleepwalking.
I want P to buy an air conditioner.
]]>I'm at the Dominican Republic, again. I arrived early last Thursday. The trip was ok, thanks to Mrs. Xanax and a nice girl I met before boarding. After almost 3 days, I'm already feeling a little homesick. I love this place but I miss my dog like crazy. I miss his stinky breath and his loyal companionship. I feel lonely without him.
Now, I am getting ready to go out. P (who's here in med school, never forget!!) has a gig with his band at a bar in the city. We'll see how that goes.
Why am I feeling so nervous and uneasy? I wish I could find an explanation. I'm feeling not so good.
]]>P got here last Wednesday. That's why I've been MIA. As you akready know, there's no internet access at the in-laws (not the decent kind anyway). I haven't been able to check out my neighborhood or update much. But I hope you are all okay. I miss Vox!
