Happy New Year :)

I’m only 2 weeks late wishing you that. Better late than never as they say right? How were your Holiday’s? Already broken some New Year’s Resolutions? Or did you bust into 2022 guns blazing?

Things here got busy during the Holidays. First of all I cooked my a*s off on Xmas-Eve. Rolled and cooked about 150 meatballs. But everyone loved the meatball sandwiches with the beet salad! And the Colombian empanadas were super tasty, so it was all a success πŸ™‚ I haven’t had a meatball sandwich since Xmas, and I’d lick a toilet seat to get one right now!

The rest of Xmas flew by, and I have to say the Swedish traditions are a bit better. People were ordering pizza to eat on Xmas Day, and I felt I was mostly cleaning up after others. I love having people over and around me, but when they don’t clean up after themselves, I lose it a bit. Well, you live and learn πŸ™‚

I did like visiting the Historic District during the Holidays. They know the meaning of bigger is better over here!

Need inspiration for your next nail design? They have a tent with like 80-100 people doing manicures in there!!! Take your pick…

On New Years we were supposed to go to a party. Everyone going had to get a Covid test. Well, turns out the host himself got his test back on NYE and was positive. Ooops, change of plans. Instead we had some people over at our place. Some food and drinks before 2022 wohoooo! It went so fast and I didn’t even snap one pic. But I shot these that I was supposed to post before NYE hahahaaaa….

Then I took off to LA and was hoping to get an interview date at any consulate in the US for a residency visa here in Mexico. Things are not always as easy I think they are. A lot of consulates have a huge backlog or don’t even have available dates for interviews. Finally I got lucky and now have a date next week in San Francisco. Flew back to Mexico because pretty much everyone in LA was getting Covid or locking themselves inside. Hard to get any shoots done. At least I got to hang with my bestie Sandy and her family. We did a day trip to Big Bear and that was awesome! Pics coming πŸ™‚

Working hard before taking off to SF next week. Lived there for a year before Puerto Rico, so it’s going to be great to go back πŸ™‚ Already planned a dinner with my friend Patricia there, and she just sent me a message that she popped her hip and ended up in ER yesterday. I love that she has the same humor as me! Nurse Puma is coming!

A couple of more left-over pics from 2021. Seeing the meatball sandwich pictures made me hungry and I need to go find some tacos now!

Laters, Puma

Last weekend in CDMX

My visit to Mexico is coming to an end. Would be even more sad if I didn’t know that I will be back in August πŸ™‚ Tomorrow we are flying to Utan and staying with Ari’s family. Very excited about that since I love being there. More about Utah when I get there πŸ™‚

In my last blog I wrote that I felt better on Sunday. But that was apparently a joke. On Monday I got a stomach flu and pretty much lived in the bathroom. You don’t need more details than that LOL… I tried charcoal powder, oregano oil and some pills from the pharmacy, but nothing helped. Finally called a doctor that gave me some stronger pills and felt better later that day already.

Felt good to emerge back to normal life and be out and about without scouting for a bathroom, just in case hahhaaa…

Also straight back to being a sleazeball!

I met a cool girl named Daniella. She knows all the good spots here and recommended a place name Boxque Teva. Wow, don’t even know how to describe this place. Like a hobbit place for adults in the woods. I felt right at home. Some architect built a bunch of similar houses here and the place is just amazing! 45min from Mexico City and a $10 Uber ride away. If you are here, you must visit this place!

And look at the room we stayed in! Like something out of Red Light District in Amsterdam hahahaaa…

On Thursday morning at 7.30 Daniella came and we did breathing exercises and then cold plunge like Wim Hof. I’ve never been able to stay in more than 20 sec. This time I sat in for 2 minutes! When I was able to relax just a little, it felt OK. But I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to being in ice cold water even though I’m a Finn.

I did enjoy the hot tub better at night time πŸ™‚

I can’t wait to come back here! Here’s their website if you want to book a room or some activities they have πŸ™‚ https://boxqueteva.com/

Also finished this book while sick – ‘Popular Hits of the Show Era’ by Ryu Murakami. Hmm, how to describe it. Violently funny. A male and female gang in Tokyo start killing each other. I thought it was a funny book and can recommend it.

Got our Covid tests done yesterday so we are allowed back in the US. All negative πŸ™‚

Gonna do some shopping today and start packing. And obviously eat tacos πŸ™‚

Stay healthy! Being sick sucks!

Kisses, Puma
