End of 2022

I believe this will be the last post of the year. It's been quite challenging this 2022. 

It started well, same as every year, with lots of ideas and plans, that in the end, none of them become real, as life happens and the universe has its own plan for you.

I had an accident at the beginning of the year, middle of March, it was the start of the end of this path called Playa Escondida, a hotel I've been engaged so deeply during these 4 years since I came back from London (another life-changing plan).

I am in the process of ending my relationship that has been nothing but toxic in every sense, and my job at the hotel, although I'm planing an offer for my boss. Let's see what life brings this next week.

Rush of energy

I drank two cups of coffee this morning. I feel so much energy today that I need to do something besides work on my computer. Since my boss is busy to answer any of my questions and continuing with my duties at the office, I decided to write another post since I stopped doing it a couple of weeks ago.

I have been working in two jobs since October 16th, 2022. I have two incomes which are great, it gives me more opportunities to save money or buy stuff I need for my house or myself. However, it's been quite a challenge, especially because one job is new for me, Real Estate is remarkably interesting, but it requires a lot of attention on my behalf. 

This past Monday, December 5th, we had our Posada, we had a boat trip where we had an open bar, dinner, and watched some whales, met the rest of the team, and had the opportunity of getting to know more people in the industry. 

On my day off (Sunday), I finally went on the road and visited one of the beaches I like the most, Destiladeras, it's private, but they let you in if you give them a tip. 

Here are the pictures of this past weekend.

New Goals Unlocked

I really cannot explain how I feel today, there've been a lot of changes since the last time I posted something here, I had some legal issues with my last job and I won, and not only that happened, I got to keep my new job and I will return to my old position in my previous job in the afternoon shift so I will have two jobs.

This is going to be an experience; at the moment I'm just trying to accomplish some goals I have in mind like buying a new car and paying some bills I have due. I am thinking about buying a piece of land as well, to be able to build the house I want to live in. I have always had this dream where I am sitting on my house balcony or terrace with a view of the ocean with my dogs and smoking a joint and drinking my cup of coffee. I want to accomplish this.

I will be working 13 hours a day, 6 days a week, that's 78 hours per week. 😫 Anyway, it'll be an experience, at the hotel I'm able to get tips and commissions plus my salary and at the real estate job I have my salary and will get commissions from my boss's sales. It's income everywhere. I just hope I have the energy and good health to be able to perform both jobs. 

Wish me luck 🍀

Rye, East Sussex

Rye is a small town and civil parish in the Rother district, in East Sussex, England, two miles from the sea at the confluence of three rivers: the Rother, the Tillingham, and the Brede. In medieval times, as an important member of the Cinque Ports confederation, it was at the head of an embayment of the English Channel, and almost entirely surrounded by the sea.

Those historic roots and its charm make it a tourist destination, with hotels, guest houses, B&Bs, tea rooms, and restaurants. One such hotspot is Mermaid Street, which was named one of the most Instagrammed streets in the UK. Rye also has a small fishing fleet, and Rye Harbour has facilities for yachts and other vessels.

The name Rye is believed to come from the West Saxon ieg meaning island. Medieval maps show that Rye was originally located on a huge embayment of the English Channel called the Rye Camber, which provided a safe anchorage and harbour. Probably as early as Roman times, Rye was important as a place of shipment and storage of iron from the Wealden iron industry.

I freaking loved this town, it was amazing, I took the train from St Pancras International Rail Station to Rye, it was a cloudy day, my day off at work and I was bored, I needed to travel a little bit and get to know more of England, I found this town by reading an article about small British towns and since the one I wanted to visit was way too far, I looked up this one to see the distance and it wasn't that far from London so I decided to go on an adventure. 

I took some photographs as usual and walked around pretty much the whole town, I was tired and it started to rain so I went to a tea room and ordered a slice of cake and tea. I enjoyed very much this town, I literally felt I was in an old English movie.  

After the rain stopped, I went out to the street again and visited the church where actually outside of it there was the cemetery (how weird), in Mexico we never have them together, normally the cemetery is very separated from the city, far away and especially not by the churches but here, it looked lovely, in the fall with the leaves falling from trees, the smell of the wet dirt, rain, I would say kind of melancholic. 

I'd love to see more of these tiny towns from England in the future.
