Greetings, everyone, and welcome to my blog.
I haven’t talked much about my coffee moments—a ritual that is almost sacred to me. Lately, I’ve spent many days thinking, overthinking, tidying up, organizing, and constantly planning new ideas—always accompanied, of course, by a cup of coffee.
To give you an update, my recovery period for my injured arm is being extended until the pain is completely gone. I saw an orthopedist yesterday, and it turns out I have a muscle tear; it hasn’t healed because I kept re-injuring it through constant activity.
After waiting for several hours—I was practically falling asleep in the waiting room—I was finally seen around midday. I even had my third cup of coffee for the day! There’s a woman who sells coffee, tea, and snacks right at the hospital entrance. This recovery period means zero training—no running, jogging, or walking. The "Pink Race" (Carrera Rosa) is this Sunday, which breaks my heart—I’ve never missed one before! Still, I plan to go just to support my group, provided I can get the arm sling I was told to buy during yesterday’s appointment. I also have an appointment for an X-ray coming up in the next few days.
Being forced to rest for the past two weeks while waiting to see the doctor gave me the chance to sit down and organize things that had been put on hold. I’ve been working on my personal writings—poems, short stories, and so on—which I hadn’t been able to illustrate or organize while waiting for my new computer equipment. It was high time to dust them off from the digital files on my flash drive. This has taken several days, and I work on it whenever I don’t have any other pressing tasks. Every time I sit down in front of my laptop, I’m accompanied by a delicious cup of coffee—poured into one of the many mugs in my collection, which now includes my Christmas-themed ones!
On another note, during a recent trip to the supermarket, I set out to buy a small package of each of the brands I like. That’s when I discovered a brand I hadn’t encountered before—Café Damasco. Even more surprising, however, was running into a former student from my days as an active educator; she happened to be representing that very coffee brand. During our brief conversation, she shared that she had just graduated and that this job had helped support her while she was in university.
I love learning about the educational journeys of my former students, especially after so much time has passed. It was a similar experience with a young man I once taught in secondary school—he now owns a chocolate factory and a cacao plantation. I must admit, it always fills me with such satisfaction and pride to see them grow in such a beautiful way, knowing that I played a part in their development.
"Pink Month" is nearly coming to an end, but the activities that take place during this time always leave us with an important message. Prevention is key—it’s something we must practice all year round. We cannot afford to be careless; we should perform self-exams regularly and, of course, see a doctor if we notice anything unusual.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Saludos a todos y bienvenidos a mi blog.
Había hablado poco de mis momentos con un café, algo que es una rutina religiosa para mí, y es que han sido muchos días de pensar,. sobrepensar, ordenar, organizar y no dejar ni por un momento de planificar ideas, y éstas siempre serán en compañía de un café.
Por un lado, les cuento que el reposo por mi brazo lesionado se prolonga, hasta que no duela absolutamente nada. Ayer me examinó el traumatólogo y concluyó con que tengo un desgarre muscular y no ha sanado porque me he lastimado con las actividades constantes.
Después de varias horas esperando mi turno, me atendieron casi al mediodía, me estaba durmiendo en la sala de espera y me tomé el tercer cafecito del dia. En la entrada del hospital, una chica vende café, té, y chucherias. El reposo equivale a cero entrenamiento, tampoco participación en carreras, trotes o caminatas, y la Carrera Rosa es este domingo, eso me arruga el corazón, no había faltado a ninguna, pero iré únicamente a apoyar a mi grupo, siempre y cuando ya tenga el cabestrillo que me mandaron a comprar ayer en la consulta. La cita para la placa es en los próximos días.
Este reposo obligado desde hace dos semanas, esperando la cita con el doctor, me obligaba a sentarme a ordenar cosas que estaban en pausa. Mis escritos personales, poemas, cuentos, etc., que no he seguido ilustrando ni ordenando a la espera de mi equipo nuevo de computación, ya era hora de desempolvarlos de los archivos digitales del pendrive. Esto me ha llevado muchos días, y lo hago en los momentos donde no hay ningún trabajo solicitado. Cada vez que me siento frente a la laptop, me acompaña una deliciosa taza de café, y mi variada colección de tazas, donde ya figuran las navideñas.
Por otro lado, en una compra de supermercado reciente, fui con la idea de comprar una presentación pequeña de cada una de las marcas que me gustan, y me encontré con una marca nueva que no conocía, se llama Café Damasco... pero más sorprendida aún quedé al reencontrarme con una vieja alumna de mi época de docencia activa, que estaba representando a la marca de café. Entre unos minutos de conversación, me contó que se acababa de graduar, y que ése era uno de sus trabajos de apoyo mientras estaba en la universidad.
Amo conocer estas historias del proceso educativo de mis alumnos, después de tanto tiempo sin verlos. Me pasó igual con el chico que tiene la fábrica de chocolates y la hacienda de cacao, fue mi alumno de secundaria, y admito que siempre me llena de satisfacción y orgullo verlos crecer de esa hermosa manera, sabiendo que fui partícipe en esa formación.
El mes rosa ya casi finaliza, pero siempre nos va a dejar un mensaje en medio de las actividades que se desarrollan. Prevenir es la clave, hay que hacerlo todo el año, no podemos descuidarnos, debemos realizar nuestro autoexamen periódicamente, y por supuesto acudir al médico si notamos algo extraño.
Gracias por visitar mi blog, feliz día para todos.
