Mishaps
Okay I haven’t been in Costa Rica not even 24 hours and I’ve had two fuck ups already. They’re silly so they’re not that bad. They’re the kind that you can laugh at after the fact. I’ve had my fair share of the other kind too but I’d like to think I’m too old for those now.
1st one: Left the airport without my luggage. Yep, sure did. It wasn’t lost nor stolen. I straight up walked out of the airport without it. Complete brain fart and realized it about 2 miles down the road. Christian, my driver didn’t bat an eye and turned right around. Of course United closed at midnight and it was just past so tomorrow it is whether I like it or not. According to Christian I was the first.
“Wait what? It was a mess, I was a mess, but like everything else of course I got through it.”
You have to understand though, I was super nervous. First time out of my country, not to mention I’m exhausted from traveling and hangin out with peops the whole week prior.
To make matters worse, my medical paperwork needed “validating”. No idea exactly what that means so I’m told to board the shuttle and go. Wait what? It was a mess, I was a mess, but like everything else of course I got through it.
There’s that moment that you question whether you’re really going to have stuff validated or you’re going to be taken who know where. It’s silly now but for a second that feeling’s no joke.
2nd one: My bedroom window overlooks a brook, it sounds amazing, especially at night with the frogs singing away. BUT I fell asleep with the window open and the light on.
I woke up to what I consider a horror show, it was awful. Luckily this house is no stranger to mosquitos and it was nothing a bug zapper couldn’t take of.
But man, I’m still sittin over here itching at nothing.
