Agouti

So I had a series of small mishaps today. Nothing serious, just some minor annoyances. It poured here last night. Apparently there is a leak in my roof because I woke up at some point with water dripping on me. The leak must not be really serious because it didn’t last long, but it kept me up for a while. I need to tell my landlady so she can get it fixed before the rainy season. I went for a run this morning and the humidity must have been 95%. It was like breathing through water! I still had a good run, but I was drenched by the time I got back.

Yesterday, I bought some bread and delicious raspberry/pomegranate jelly. It’s a unique combination that goes well together. I had some for dessert last night and more for breakfast this morning. After breakfast, I left the bread on the kitchen cabinet. It was in a wrapper so I assumed that would be okay. When I got back from Spanish class, it was covered with millions of ants. The ants are terrible here. You can’t leave food out at all! And they bite! They are tiny, but for their size, they have quite a bite. So, tomorrow I have to go get more bread and keep it in the refrigerator.

I checked my animal cam this morning. I had a few pictures, but they aren’t really clear ones. I think it’s an agouti. An agouti is a small rodent that eats fruit. The picture is below. The rain probably kept other animals away and my cat food was soaked this morning. I put out some watermelon and more cat food this afternoon, but it looks like it’s going to rain again tonight, so I may not have much luck. It’s the dry season, so it’s unusual to have rain like this.

I spent some time at the beach and had Spanish class, but it was a slow day otherwise. I’m getting ready to eat supper and have some chocolate and tea. Hope everything is going well for you all!
