Fat Lip

Boat life has been interesting.
A few days ago, Ty and I were in the dingy headed for the boat. I was pumping up the dingy, it tends to deflate all the time… At least its a workout!

So, Im pumping up the dingy and Ty starts the motor, pulls back and then all I see is white light. Then, blood. I spit over the side of the dingy and then run my tongue over my teeth. All of them are still there! Thank goodness. But theres a lot of blood. Ty pulls out his phone to look at it and as soon as he looks at it, he says, “oh shit” along with a horrified face. Then Im freaking out but say “Its not that bad!” 

We finish our ride to the boat with a bandana over my bottom lip and Ty doesn't stop saying sorry. “Shit happens” I say.

At the boat, I look in the mirror and realize that it does look pretty bad. Its a gash in my lip and its bleeding. We clean it out (it stings) and I take a piece of tape to close the gap. The thing that im worried about is heading to work the next day and everyone asking about the gash in my lip. I can also barely close my mouth… I wish I had taken a picture of it the first day, it was gnarly. 

The next morning, The tape held the gash together enough for it to heal pretty good the next day, but eating proved pretty difficult.

Eating at work was pretty entraining. I poured the soup into my mouth and half of it leaked out because closing my mouth was pretty hard. haha


This morning, it was a little pussy, but the gash that was on the inside of my mouth is completely healed! The human body is a pretty cool thing.

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...

Summerfest Day 1

Amazing. I was just going tonight to hang and  see some bands, no expectations, but SFest delivered on its first day. My friend Alex and I got there a bit early so we walked around the shops and the smaller stages. We stumbled upon Five Knives which were like a hip-hop-y Ke$ha. If you know me at all you'd know that I probably loved it. They were pretty fun. Then a bit later when we were sitting watching a local sax band play, the fireworks started. I never NEED to see the big bang but its always a pleasure when I see it. I got great seats by accident sitting on a table. I always have a smile on my face when I watch colorful explosions in the sky. Then, the white out, massive explosion that is the epic finale. I couldn't see anything for at least a minute afterwards. I love when the loudness is felt in your heart and there is so much going on that its just a colorful mess. Most excellent. Then we went to find Bastille. As soon as they came on I was extremely impressed. H...
