A quick one

So I will try to make this quick because I am starving. I really want to post some pics of the new place but I fear that this connection is too slow today and I gotta get out of here before I hit the red zone. The new place is great. I love cooking my own food and having privacy. Actually the privacy has been in short supply. People are constantly dropping in for no reason. Which is fine I guess. I do worry a bit about what my neighbors think with all the traffic, but whatever. They will be nosy and gossipy no matter what I do so I try not to worry about it too much. I have decided against getting a dog after I realized how much mopping is required in a Nicaraguan home. The first time I mopped, the floor looked worse than before. I had to have my friends show me how to do it right. I actually got a man to mop for me!! He did the kitchen to teach me and then I tried to play dumb and tell him that I needed more examples and could he please do the porch but he wasn't having it. Apparently mopping the kitchen where nobody could see him was one thing but mopping out in the open was completely out of the question.
I still think I might have to get a cat. I woke up the other night to go to the bathroom and there was a huge toad in the shower. It crawled in through the drain pipe. This was fine with me but the thought that it could have just as easily been a rat has been nagging at me ever since. I do not know what I would do if this happened. I would probably have to call a neighbor. Cat or rat? Definitely cat.
