Update on My Life

Sorry I haven't been posting! Its been a crazy busy week. I found out last week that I got a job in the USVI and they wanted me down there asap. Unfortunately, I could not afford anything until after the new year. (but thats also good since ill be around my family for xmas and, more importantly, friends for my birthday and NYE!!) So, I start in January! New life, new adventure.

Its going to be strange working again. For the past four months, Ive been doing whatever I want, not what someone else wants. Ive been going on my schedule and exploring, doing yoga, hanging out with friends, sleeping in. Its been great.

Ive also had a lot of time to get back in shape and eat better. I know, Im so obese. Kidding! Everyone tells me that I don't need to work out and i can eat whatever I want, but its not about losing weight as it is about toning up and being healthy. Ive noticed that my rock climbing has gotten better because Ive been working out. A lot has gotten better, actually. Im in a better mood, my heart is better, I feel amazing and I LOOK amazing. I wish I always had the time to work out for two hours in the mornings. Its a great way to start the day. Hopefully, I can keep up a good exercise routine in the VI.

Next steps are finding a place to live and packing up my life here. Hopefully I won't be gone too long Milwaukee, because I love you and everyone in it with all of my heart :)

Tropical Islands here I come!

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Bio Bay, PR positives

The coolest part of our trip to Puerto Rico was definitely the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques [side note, bioluminescence is a big word, mostly it just means stuff that lights up but scientifically it means 'bio'-life, 'lumin'-light, 'escence'-to put forth. So, life that puts forth light!] It was an experience that I cannot easily put into words. The night started out a bit strange. We got picked up at our hostel at 9pm, along with 5 other girls, by a thirty-something, long-haired gentleman. He walked us about a block to the van that would transport us to the bio-bay. The van was, well, to put it nicely, a fixer-upper. It had bench seats which were collapsing, the roof fabric was falling down, it puttered around and squeaked during turns. Ty and I joked that we were paying 40 bucks to get murdered in this van especially when we turned down a dirt, side street that was full of pot holes. We slowly lumbered along this road for a few minutes until we made it to our ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...
