Ok so the lady I lived with until today is, well a bit NUTS! Here is a quick look at my week at her home:
Sunday:
She serves me brown mush and soupy oatmeal for dinner.
Monday:
The toilet was broken when i woke up.
She tells me that my room is not organized enough and that I can not keep stuff on the tables in my room.
The internet goes out and she tells me 15 times that the guy will com fix it
Tuesday:
Got upset with me that I did not put the stool and squeegee (which she keeps in the shower) back in to the shower. But the shower was not draining and thats why I waited. I told her and she freaked. She had no clue. When was the last time she showered?
Internet went out again
She bought (essentially) Drano for the shower. Here is what happened between 7 and 8 PM:
G – I got “the liquid,” can I put it in?
D – I am going to shower first.
G – Ok it needs 12 hrs
D – Ok I will shower now
G – Ok let me know when you are done – When do you want to eat dinner?
D – 8
G – What time is it now?
D – 7 oh and the internet doesn’t work again
G – But the tech came yesterday.
D – I know but its broken again.D – I am done, do you want me to put in the liquid?
G – no no no I will do it. Are you done showering?
D – (in new clothes with wet hair) yes
G – Are you going somewhere? You are not going to eat here?
D – Yes I am eating here. I am leaving afterward.
G – So I can put in the liquid? It needs 12 hrs
D – Yes you can put it in.G – here is 50 pesos. Go buy dinner. There has been too much tonight between the internet and the shower for me to cook (this is at 8, one hour later) There are good restaurants on X and X corners and pizza on X corner. Don’t spend it all.
D – Ummm ok
G – Are you going to go now?
D – No I am going to wait for Magaly and we will go together.
G – So you are not going to go now?
D – Mo I am going to go with her
G – Oh ok good. So I can put in the liquid? It needs 12 hrs
D – Yes you can put it in
G – Ok I will shower first then put it in.
10 minutes later
G – Have you showered yet? I want to put the liquid in the drain because it needs 12 hrs.
D – YES!!! (WTF?!?!?!)
So ya she gave me money instead of food, and I was fine with that!
Wednesday:
After all of it, the drain was still not much better
My room was not organized enough and its not the Argentinian way and I need to do something about it. These are COINED’s rules not hers… (so she said)
Yelled at my about not having a constant dinner schedule — but asked me what time I wanted to eat.
Thursday:
Barely saw her 
Friday:
Told me that mail is bad here when I asked her if it was ok to have a box sent here a week ago and she said yes – what?!?!
She tried to make me pay for the toilet that I did not break and got mad at me when I told her I didn’t do it and wouldn’t pay for it.
That is just some of the great times I had with Graciela and why I now live on the other side of town with a woman named Theresa in MUCH nicer place.
