It's a nice attitude to accept and let things flow at their own pace. It is not only nice but also necessary to keep your sanity. This is me fooling around with my neighbour at almost 1 pm today, for some it's already tomorrow. Time is just an illusion. But I was telling you that here my neighbour and I were taking pictures of each other because we were so excited to accomplish the mission that we were going to do.
¡Selfie time!
It was simple. Go down to the noisy-crowded bridge at 100th and Boyeros to buy groceries.
Our happy faces for being able to do that were evident. Especially because the way things are here, not everyone has that possibility.
But the vibrant energy meant that we didn't have to walk there in the first place. Men in a car gave us a lift. They appeared just like that, out of nowhere. Very helpful and kind, by the way.
Secondly, my friend had to withdraw money from her magnetic card and so did I, and the bank was without the usual long waiting line. It seemed as if they were waiting for us to make everything easy... no, more than easy. Wow, I couldn't believe it. I didn't even question it. I was just laughing and counting and counting... hahaha. Joke. I'm not one of those people who are going to flip out in that situation, I go straight to what I'm going to do and that's it.
Did you know that the bank only allows you to withdraw 10,000 cup in cash? That's about US$30 more or less. My neighbour took advantage of the fact that I only needed half of that and transferred 5000 to me so that I could take out the 10000 and give her that cash. Todo fino entonces (All fine, then) and our mission was still on track.
We can no longer say that there is a shortage. No, there is everything, but the prices are high for people who earn around 4000 cup per month, and even pensioners earn less.
My list of needs:
Chicken liver (1kg) - 950 cup
12 eggs - 1500 cup
Chilli peppers (1 lb) - 600 cup
Yoghurt (1.5 litres) - 400 cup
... and Head and Shoulders Shampoo - 1300 cup
This last product I was very happy to find because if you are one of those who visit my blog, last week I thought that maybe what happened to my eyes had to do with the fact that I hadn't been using this shampoo for a few months, which is the one I really need.
Yay!
I had to buy this little one because I had to buy some frozen chicken, preferably thighs and drumsticks. My fridge, since the cruel blackout after Rafael, is in the ice age. 😁
I was surviving on tuna, hot dogs, spaghetti, rice and beans. Anyway... not to worry, I don't look that skinny, do I? Fat isn't healthy, though.
My neighbour bought her things. Toiletries, coffee, and a packet of chicken gizzards for her dog.
I was really rushing her a bit because the crowd was already driving me crazy.
Today was a day when I would have liked to ride my bike to a beach where there was going to be a party until tomorrow morning at 6 am. Rotilla Festival, that's the name of the event, with electronic music, performances and so on... that must be crazy. I've never been, but yesterday when I heard about it my mouth was watering. The thing is, what always happens is that I don't have anyone to go on such adventures with.
What I said at the beginning... you just have to flow and not complain. You can't have everything you want, I understood that. Maybe some other way... some other time.
😖 No, better this 😶
Okay, fine, I needed to do this shopping today. Tomorrow something interesting can happen, we have to leave the door open for things to happen as well... flowing.
I've been looking at this kind of stands for paint and brushes because these days I have to paint the railings of my house and the paint I have is not enough. Everything is so overpriced, my goodness...!, but never mind, positive mind. It will be done.
I am seriously worried because my roof also needs urgent waterproofing and so on... I have a lot of worries even if it doesn't seem like it.
But it is simply life and there is no need to be sad or overwhelmed by anything. Everything can be done in its own time. We have achieved everything, haven't we? We are alive and we are coping with all the challenges, so there is nothing to worry about.
😃
My neighbour and I decided to sweeten our lives a little. These chocolate-covered ice creams are delicious and only cost 100 cup. Why not?
On the way home we were laughing less hahaha... but we were just as happy because we almost did it all and it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon. We passed by a shop closer to home and there was frozen chicken there. We bought it between the two of us: 3800 cup, that is to say, we will divide that packet of about 12 pieces in half.
What happened next when we got home was... we had a scheduled power cut, from 3 to 7 pm. That really got on my nerves, really. But we had coffee at her house, I complained a bit about how bad the connection gets when the electricity goes out... apparently those 4G signal plants don't have batteries anymore. And I decided to go home and take a nap to see if the time would pass faster. I couldn't eat lunch because there is no liquefied gas... and I'm not yet at the stage of cooking with wood. Hahahaha... I ate a loaf of bread with sausage from a can and have some yoghurt. What are we going to do? This is stress-free... apparently hahaha.... I woke up and it wasn't 7 o'clock yet so all dark. I thought about electronic music, about Rotilla. Well... I opened Spotify, selected a track and started dancing. After a while my neighbour shouted to me from her house: Amiga, the power is on!
I had all the lights off... imagine, I went out in daylight and I'm not one to have lights on for fun.
I know it is difficult and everyone's realities are different, but we cannot lose faith that better times will come.

Despite the difficulties, I felt you were happy. You have the virtue of having confidence that everything at some point will be better and that there are always those who are worse off and that we have to help. My good girl. I love you,🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
See, you don't have to worry anymore. I bought some food. I love you very much Mamani mía.
Pues tuviste un día de suerte! Dinero en efectivo y 10k en el banco! Yo hice ayer una cola de 2h y solo daban 2k, eres dichosa y no lo sabes🤣 linda selfie 🤩 abrazos 🤗🤗
¡Alabao! Tremendo eso. 😦😉
Sí, de muchas maneras sé que soy dichosa. Agradezco mucho al Universo por eso y por todas las personas que están en mi vida, usted incluida, @mayramalu. 🤗
Uy qué linda, gracias nani 😚😚
Gracias digo yo. ¡Muak!
Before making any comments, I need to know the bank's address. In Vedado, it's 2k wherever you go. Even if I have to make an interprovincial trip, I have to go to your bank 😂😂
The post could be titled "Lucky Day." You resolved so much in just a few hours that it doesn't seem like Cuba😅.
Before I go plissss, give me a bit of your endless positivity 😁 it's really contagious
It's great to see you well, Nanixxx! 🙃
Lol. It's the bank here on the bridge at 100 and Boyeros. Today my neighbour told me she went there again and there was money and ATMs working too.
Thanks ☺️
Jjjj Me ha pasado un montón de veces lo de las luces, creo que más que todo por despistada 😅 Yo aprovecho los cortes de luz para leer y termino quedándome dormida, o me voy a hacer ejercicios, cuando regreso tengo luz y me siento de maravilla porque en lugar de quejarme elegí mi bienestar ♥️🌱 Espero que hayas asistido a esa fiesta, eso también ayuda, y mucho jjj
Pues eso es lo que hago. No te voy a negar que estresa un poco, pero termino aceptando y listo. Que no hay otra cosa que hacer que cambiar de actividad. 😄🤗
Gracias por visitarme Jessy.
Good afternoon @nanixxx, I see you happy, as it should be. (short, right?)
.Enjoy a great Sunday and a great week.
Hello... Hey, good afternoon. What's a mirror doing? How does it work?
... I hope the joy won't be short! Or are you talking about your short visit in my post?
I wish that we both have a great week.
In relation to my Sunday... Another blackout until 3. From 10 am. Time I took advantage of to read. And I walked around the neighbourhood a bit too. I just had lunch, I was so hungry... So what do you think I'll do now?
About the short, I was referring to my answer. And continuing with the question: riding a bike 🚲?
Around here it's been a quiet day, I went in early at Hive, but I said to myself: quit and take a ride!!!. I arrived a while ago 😀.
Está bien.
Bueno, no he ido a montar bicicleta porque hay viento y quería leer. Ahora toca siesta, @enraizar 😄. Cortica, porque tengo que seguir escribiendo mi novela. Jajaja... He estado escribiendo hace días, algo que... en realidad no sé lo que es. Un abrazo bien grande para ti. Qué bueno que fuiste a dar un paseo. 😃🌞👋🏻
Hasta mañana, te dejo dormir. 😁
I need a lot of your positivity, because sometimes it's .... too much .... I think that's the longest word in the world.
But being positive and having confidence is important.
That shampoo is great, and it will be super good for your eye problem, which I'm sure you are doing much better....
I hope you already have food made for several days, I cook for at least three...and I already bought charcoal, at least that will help when there's no gas...
There will always be a way out, the important thing is not to stay stationary,
long live the selfies!!!!
🌻🌻🌻
Don't you see that I am in a constant conversation with myself? I have a lot of worries, is my first thought (who doesn't?), and then I replace that with other more real and objective ideas like that as long as we are alive and energetic and creative, ‘la preocupación’ (the worry) requires occupation and so on.
Hahaha... selfies, yes!
Thank you.
You are very good at therapy, I think this is another great opportunity Hive has given me: getting to know you and your thoughts!
Nice Sunday @nanixxx
Do you want me to show you the best therapy? Adivina, dale. 😁
Awwww
You both are beautiful ❤️
Yes stepping out with a lot of positive energy has a way of setting the tone of your day
Glad you enjoyed your time out with your friend 😊
I enjoyed reading your post 😁
Thank you for sharing 😊
😄 Thank you for the compliment.
I can't remember a single time when I've had good energy, I mean overflowing, vibrant energy, and things have gone wrong.
Cheers!
Niceeee
We can’t have all, yes. And we can be happy with that! Right now I would be happy watching the sunlight. (We have persistent fog since Thursday and it begins to weigh on the mood)
I still don't believe this hahaha.... 🤣
Awww, the fog is so beautiful to take pictures of! Have you taken pictures?
A warm sun is going to come out soon, you'll see. I'm already feeling it here.
I like photos of fog when it's thick but I've never tried to do it until now. If it persists tomorrow, I will play for a while at the time of my morning walk. 😘
Cool. Try it and get some fun. 🤗
What a delicious ice cream! I love those and you got the shampoo... it won't affect your eyes anymore, if that's what it is... let's hope so!
Life's endless events... they say worrying doesn't fix things... long live optimism!😃
🤤
I didn't imagine I would find the shampoo there. Well... I hope that makes it all better, even though the days of the drops are over... (I'll tell you a secret?) I never put the drops in at their exact times. Oh, I'm a mess.
Now I continue with the ointment for two or three more weeks. That's easier because it's in the morning and at night.
I have to be optimistic, otherwise you might not have met me and I might not have met you. It's all a big chain of events. That's great.
También eso soy un desastre jajaja además detesto lo que es medicación, jajaja
Siempre la vida es una cadena.... la mía es increíble... si no hubiera venido a España no estaría en Hive... hasta ese punto!
Your selfie and ice-cream portrait were pretty pleasurable!
A late 'bon appetit' and a slice of Hive !PIZZA your way 😎
Yummy Pizza! Lol. 😄 The joy you see in the selfie is contagious hahaha... Thank you. Ice cream is my passion! And my friend and I are always laughing about everything. She lives right next door and we really always help each other and care a lot about each other. Well, I think she worries a lot more about me because she says I'm a mess hahaha... the day I got the swelling in my eye, she wanted to take me to the emergency room. She said: I'll get on the other bike and force you to go because I know you're not going to go.
But I was really scared and I went without anyone forcing me.
Now the principle ice-cream fan in our family is my daughter. I taught her a simple basic recipe: milk + vanilla ice cream + 2 bananas - and that's it, now it's hard to leave the store without buying a 200 gram ice cream bar )))
Great to have such a devoted friend. 😘
😂🤷🏻♀️
