I really need to talk to my Mum, so we decide to go to Lime’s and see if we can use their phone to call the UK. I make a call to my Mum, and it is so good to talk to folks back home for the first time in weeks! The call goes well, I manage not to get upset being that I am in a public place, and my Mum seems to be holding up well.
I feel like I am emerging out of the ‘fog’ of the last few months, and feel stronger (for the first time) to fight for ‘me’ and confront some of the concerns about being with Nick that are eating away at me. I make a decision to change my paypal account password, so that I can retain some control over the movement of money. A small attempt to ensure I can at least retain some small funds in paypal so I never feel totally without. This does cause some conflict with Nick, but we manage to talk through it, and I stick to my guns about retaining my management of paypal. We now have about $15BZ dollars left and no confirmation of pending payments from the two clients due.
The tension is still palable as we walk up the beach, and my bristles stiffen following our encounter with Rasta Todd. I then discover that Nick is still owing him $30 (or so I am told!!) for pot already consumed, yet he talks about purchasing some more!! But our visit to view another prospective apartment serves to break the tension somewhat, and the rest of the day was ‘real good man’. I even felt our-indulged with my tuna sandwich and salad and water with lime.
At a whisker, and no doubt in response to Nick’s curt email, we get our outstanding payment into Paypal by 5:30pm and this is quickly transferred to the bank……this means it should clear by Friday…so only another day and a half to eek out our $15BZ!!!!
