December 30

HEY GUYS!!! I am alive. It was touch and go for a few hours. I spoke directly to Jesus and Krishna and Zeus, and a quick shout out to all other deities, to ask them to spare me. I am pretty sure the God, Jenny Craig, heard my prayers because I can safely say I am down 10 pounds and the soberest I have ever been in Mexico. One of the wonderful waiters at the local Jungle Club asked me, in broken English, if I remember doing the shots on December 25. No Christopher, I do not remember. That was a different Stacy that lived in an easier time. That Stacy never worried about sneezing/pooping. This Stacy cannot hold down water let alone alcohol. Today is Day 4 and I finally feel like I might live. Unfortunately Ryan, Dekker and now Suzie have all come down with the same terrible malady. Suzie is still in the throws of her illness and I feel for her. 

Yesterday I did rally (Dekker was suffering the worst yesterday, he would come up from snorkelling to throw up) and we went on a catamaran tour for the day. It was amazing. Honestly, I should have married for money. What was I thinking?! There was a staff of 4 that were so amazing that we did not want to leave the boat. I will post pictures when I get them back, but honestly, worth every penny! They had fishing lines out and we caught a 30 pound black finned tuna that Kevin, the chef prepared sushimi with a soya sauce, onion concoction that I will live the rest of my life dreaming about. We have also christened Michael Mexican Uncle Gerry. He is the friendliest person and everyone meets him and immediately loves him. But that fucker has an ulterior motive - he is the only one that hasn’t gotten sick. Coincidence? I think not. I think he is taking the opportunity to make everyone love him more. It really is diabolical. 

This morning Mike, Dekker and Ryan were up at the crack of dawn, literally, they left the house when it was pitch dark to meet their fishing boat and went for a 4 hour fishing trip. It was wildly successful and Ryan is currently in the kitchen preparing barracuda that they caught. They caught red snapper, amberjack and 5 barracudas. They were very excited when they got back. Slower day today which was okay, because the boys were tired, the humidity was hovering at around 1000% and my belly and I came to a tentative agreement that I could leave the direct vicinity of a bathroom. 

Anyway, I think I need to go and help with supper - pictures to follow…..Also, huge shout out to Dekker - best margaritas ever!
