We've been under almost UNBEARABLE living conditions the past month. Not in the sense of "thing" i.e. roof overhead, health, etc. But Ben hasn't had a steady job, my income hasn't been enough to cover all our bills and Ben has been so stressed out and physically sick that the atmosphere at home has been REALLY tense!!! I found out on Saturday, however, that September and January are the 2 most difficult financial months in Mexico. I felt better knowing that, hoping that there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I lived on $8 for 3 days. It's very degrading when you have to call your parents and ask for money. We usually ask Ben's brothers, but things are just as tight for them right now.
Ben got let go from the Hotel about 2 months ago and we've been trying to get him into SSA Mexico, which is the biggest Port Company here in Mexico and the States. BUT . . . in order for him to get into the gates, he has to go at 5:45am every morning, see if his name is on the list and if not, wait in a line, hoping that there is enough work for him to push his way through the gate.
As for the limes, I have a neighbor that has a HUGE lime tree and has given me bags full. I made Snickerdoodles and took them a plate. It's fun getting to know my neighbors. It's a slow process, but getting better!!!
