Full Day, Doing Nothing
Full day, doing nothing. Today was a surprisingly full day, though it seemed like I didn't to anything at all.
Chepa, my ex, came by at 8 AM for coffee and regaled me and Devon
with stories while I flirted with her. She left at 9 and I rewrote a
story for Fort Worth Weekly that was going to press tonight.
Then a guest who was here at the house needed sapo, the indigenous frog
sweat medicine, which always takes a lot out of me, and the Matses
snuff, nu-nu as a follow up medicine.
I was pooped after serving the medicines.
Then it was time to go to the store to get food for dinner, came
home, and the person who was staying here for three days for medicine
had a friend show up. He was cool, but stayed for three hours, so there
was some entertainment in the way of stories to provide. I did.
At the same time I was entertaining the new friend, I had to wash
clothes for a speaking engagement at a movie theater showing a film
about my work in the Amazon tonight in Fort Worth. So I had to figure
out what I was going to speak about.
Then Devon and I went to the
theater, I spoke in a meet-and-greet for an hour, then spoke to the
audience for 15-20 minutes without notes, then came home.
I am tired. It's only 9:30, but I am tired.
Didn't do nothin' but did a lot. I hope I helped a few people along the way.
