Friday at five Ricky finally left, like he said he would, which surprised me. He lied so much I thought he would lie about that too.

After spending all day yesterday waiting for the governor to resign, I went to sleep with no news of his resignation and thinking I would wake up to horrible news of disaster.

I've had a pretty busy couple of weeks for different reasons and in addition to that it's been very, very hot here in Puerto Rico, like you're still sweating while the air conditioner is on.
