I miss all you guys as well. I'm still chillin in Spain. Kinda lost interest in hanging out on RIU after I got arrested for growing. It's been over 3 years now I've been awaiting trial... thankfully waiting at home, not locked up like many people here have to do. And yeah, people wait years here locked up for trial, get sentenced to a few years and get no credit for time served. Pretty insane. I never knew what the right to a speedy trial meant, now I do. I'm guessing maybe I'll have trial in 2020, who knows. In the meantime I'm enjoying life, still growing a plant or two a year, this year sucked though. I didn't get seeds into dirt until May, planted 10. 4 were duds that I let die, and the other 6, all males. FFS! So now I have some seedlings that will hopefully get a little bit of the leftover summer to grow a few inches and give me a tiny bit of smoke for the winter. lol... what a bust of a year.
In other news, I've become a mediation and kundalini yoga instructor. I've been doing a lot in recovery aka AA. I marked 14 years without a drink on Sept 5. I have a new job representing brands on social media, so next time you tell your favorite _____ company that you love them or have a question, it might be me responding saying "Thanks so much for your interest, blah blah"... it's a super chill job, I love it. My daughter just turned 6. My Spanish is awesome at this point. I picked up cycling a couple years ago. I have a legit bald spot in the back of my head (which I don't believe is actually there until I see pictures and I'm depressed afterward, hahaha).
I just went on a trip to the north for end of summer and walked in caves where there are (at least) 41,000-year-old cave paintings. Fucking insane. And I visited a pot shop up there too... was my first time buying weed in a couple years. It kinda sucks, but it was cheap at least. 5-7 euros per gram, and 7 euros per gram of hash.
Oh and a fun story I think you both would like is about my cat. I was driving home a different way one day with my daughter in the back of the car. It was on a highway, the rural version, one lane each way, undivided, so a road where you drive fast. In the oncoming lane, I noticed a little thing in the middle of the lane... all the cars were driving over this thing. As I sped by it looked like maybe a tiny stuffed animal. Or a piece of rubbish, idk. I thought, nah... couldn't be... but turned around anyways. As I pulled up and pulled off the road to park, it looked more like a tiny stuffed animal. Opened the door and took a step towards it and heard the cries, little baby meows coming from it and a wag of its tail. Then to my horror, there were 3 more cars coming. I didn't try to stop them because I was sure they would veer off course slightly and crush the little thing in front of my eyes. So I stood and waited for what seemed like minutes, then ran over and grabbed the tiny thing by the scruff. It was probably 4 or 5 days old. Eyes just opened and couldn't walk really. I plopped in my little girl's lap while I went around looking for mama cat or siblings or anything. Couldn't find anything so we had a new cat.
Daughter named her Dinah as we had watched Alice in wonderland the day previous. We've had Dinah for about 1.5 years now, and I love my little girl. Best thing I ever found laying in the middle of the road for sure.
