Little Bit of Everything

My lip is healing slowly but surely! I don’t like to talk much cause every time I move my mouth it hurts and I feel like Im ripping off the scap. It also looks nasty when I open my mouth :P

In other island news, last night I got off of work early and Ty, Amber and I met up with some of Ty’s friends to head to the north side of the island (We live on the east end). It was an adventure on steep windy roads to get to Hull bay. We listened to music, drank cheap beer and Ty and I also were able to take a walk along the beach.

The music was pretty good actually. Sax, piano and some clarinet to dance to. I love how the locals here love to just have a good time listening to music and drinking. Its entertaining. 


Today was my first day off since last weekend! So I woke up this morning, Amber and I went into Red Hook to take care of some things (poop…) and then I got dropped off at the national park dock so I could do some yoga while looking out at the bay. It was a beautiful morning, not too hot, not super windy. It was nice to spend some time on my own working out. Ive been doing really well at my yoga practice. I can do mermaid on one side now!!


Also, good news, Ty and I get to house sit for one of his friends this week! This means I can cook healthy food, do laundry and sleep in a bed that doesn't move! Woohoo! It really is the little things in life. 

Loving work, not hating the boat, enjoying being on the island with Ty and Amber and its awesome not being cold :)

Dear Old Friend

Dear old friend, I think about you a lot. As I go about my day I think about how something might make you laugh or say aloud an inside joke that no one understands. I smile as I remember a fond memory. But then I go about my day. At night is when I think about trying to reach out to you again. About what I should have said or what I should say to try to understand why we are no longer close. I come up with scripts in my head about a letter I should write you or a voice mail I should leave, so you know how much I miss you. Sometimes I get angry. Why did this friendship not last forever like I was sure it would? What did I ever do to be treated this way? How could you just leave me alone? Do you even care how I am? I ask myself these questions over and over. I get mad. Then I think. I think that you must not have done this to hurt me; sometimes people just drift apart. That you probably think about me sometimes too. That perhaps, sometimes you smile at an old memory we share. Gut...

Runners High

At 12:30pm, I stepped outside for the first time all day. I hadn't really even left my room until I realized that if I didnt go outside, I probably would bum it all afternoon. I put my running shoes on and bounced outside. I started walking and after I got myself settled, I started to run. After being cooped up, those first few steps of an outdoor run is so magical. The feeling of freedom, fresh air and adrenaline is fantastic. I always have a mad smile and excitement for being able to move so fast. After my first few minutes of running, thats when the exhaustion sets in. What keeps me going longer, is adventure. Do I like running? Not really. Do I enjoy exploring? Obviously. I decided to check out a new part of the power line trail that I have not seen before and ran up the hills, or on straight path, and walked down hills. I went to the beginning of the trail and back again, smiling at the other people who were also out for their afternoon walk/bike. The sun came out and it...

Longest Day Ever

This is the longest day of my life. Literally. No, like actually literally. Or maybe a bunch of the shortest days of my life...anyway... We started off in Wisconsin, not early but it wasn't leisurely either. Then the bus to the airport in Chicago where we were to catch our first flight to shanghai. When we checked in we were informed that we were given an illegal flight through china on our way back home. Apparently you can't even have a layover in an airport for longer than 24 hours in China. The airline was nice about it and helped us in anyway they could but they told us we would have to call our booking agency because it was their fault, not the airline itself. Good thing we gave ourselves plenty of time in the airport because we needed all of that time to figure it out. I called the company that gave us our tickets and the first thing the gentleman said was that we would have to pay a change fee on top of the price for the new ticket. I was not happy with that so I inquir...
