A brain. A heart. A home. The nerve.

Y’all It has been a day and it’s not even lunchtime.

Place: Pistachio House

I am really trying to blog but I am out of practice. Bear with me as I catch you up… because reasons.

5am. Awake. See a plethora of messages from Thom about missed connections. Once again… he pledges never to fly through Heathrow.

6am Coffee. Blessed coffee. More on that in a minute. Airbnb message. They cancelled because the city of Santiago has shut them down. If anyone can read this, let me know why because I can’t make heads or tails.

I spend the next hour trying to book a different accommodation for as cheap as that one. I settle on the noisy one. I argue with the old airbnb to cancel the reservation at their end. It looks bad on me. He argues it will cost him 20% of the reservation to cancel it at his end. He keeps insisting. I request for them to cancel it. He does not. Not happy. Will leave a complaint with airbnb. My coffee gets cold.

7:20am Head out on my hike. Keep getting interrupted with messages from various and sundry. Have my AirPods in. Siri keeps misinterpreting. I keep stopping. It’s annoying. I stop at 7km rather than the 8 I would have finished. It’s fine. It’s FINEIt has been a day and it’s not even lunchtime.

It gets better. I hope!
