Bush lady

Hey everyone
Where do I begin again....
I'll start from today and work backwards..I was feeling sorry for myself wondering what am I doing here blah blah blah and then I got it together did some laundry. although the water seems to be having a spitting problem pressure problem. I made mango smoothie this morning with lime, ginger and cherries YUmmmy
with cocoa tea and toasted coconut toast.
I headed for the bush ( up into the rainforesty area) I walked right in and up the river it was so beautiful a litl gray overcast really makes the green pop out at you. I found this great flower I cut and put it in my bag. I bring the big kitchen knife with me since I don't have a machettee yet. I was getting real sweaty so I had dip in the river got dressed and continued upwards. I found some peppers and man are those some hot guys. and then I found some big plump green bananas with a bit of fanagaling i managed to cut a bunch down. I went a bit further and saw some really nice plantains but they were way to far from my reach. I started to head back slowly and found a big ol coconut. I took the time right there with a big fat stone and after many tried attempted to crack it open and get the coconut from inside.
I saw another flower which was gorgeous but had too many ants all over it I already had been bit in the armpit and back so I thought twice about it.
When I arrived home I had a coconut to get open drink, grate and make milk. That is quite a process, but now I have made a delicious mango, pumpkin coconut curry for dinner.
Last night as I was relaxing with the door open a centipede about 8 or 9 inches crawled into the apt. Now if that thing bites me I go to the hospital. So i grabbed the knife and just started chopping away at it. Fast bugger even when it's cut in 3. I choppped and chopped and threw him outside. This morning I found his head still wriggling around I took care of it.
Update on dance classes... WE started Krazy Koconuts classes every Tuesday Latin Hip HOP. We had about 10 students this week. Wawu (another location) is still slow But my Kids Hip hop class had 3 students and is growing for next week.
I started Rooftop Yoga tonight, had 3 ladies. And will continue to offer them every morning and 4 nights a week. Just gotta get the word out there.
I'm gonna indulge in my dinner now and for dessert I'm gonna make pumpkin smoothie with cinnamon and coconut milk. I gotta use it cause it doesn't stay fresh so long.
