Sunburnt...

After a long day at work the cuddles from my roommates cats are seriously THE BEST. They are the cutest and so snuggly.

So today was a long, hear, fun day at work.
We started our day at 7:30 am with an adult group kayak and snorkel. The sun was shining bright and I was up on the kayak while they snorkeled to keep an eye on everyone. The morning sun si always what gets me. I put sunscreen on every morning when I wake up but Im not usually in the sun until like noon. Today, I was out with that early morning sun. It felt great (even though 7:30 is damn early to be at work!!).

After our Kayak and Snorkel, I was headed on the sailboat cruise because Amber decided to slice her finger open and couldn't go in the water. It was only my second time on the boat and I guess it went ok. While in the water, It was hard to keep everyone together so I could tell them stuff, but thats alight. We saw at least three green sea turtles and I got to bust out my reptile knowledge!

After the snorkel, we sailed a bit before going to St. John so we could do a guided nature hike. That was fun, I love talking to people about land stuff. I also was hanging in the back of the group with a woman who's son seemed to have a lot in common with me. Talking about myself is pretty easy haha.

But for real, talking to strangers is exhausting... I can't brain right now...

And I got sunburnt. I applied three times but I think it was that morning sun that got me right away. Everyone says they can't see it but for me just getting a little pink is a huge bummer I definitely am a bit red, especially on my nose and forehead. I can feel my skin is a little tight. Dont worry though! Ive got Aloe and Vitamin C lotion that I am going to slather on!

JAKE GETS HERE THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!

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 ...

Quarantine Day: 6+?

This morning I woke up before the sun and taught some kiddos English. I had all my favorite students today which makes getting up early worth it. Then I had my morning computer time and went on a deep dive into this Facebook group called "House Plant Hobbyist". Its seriously the best group on FB ever. Lots of people post about plants, literally anything about plants and everyone in the group is so supportive and positive. I love it. It makes me happy. I probably spent about 45 minutes just looking at plants and posting suggestions and comments... Yoga time was next. I wanted to get out before the sun took up the backyard space. Theres a nice concrete patch thats perfect for my mat. It was in the shade for my whole practice! I did a long and slow flow and felt super calm and connected after. Not to mention all the great music that they play through that app (Down dog). Its a free membership until May for anyone interested! Ty and our roommate decided they needed to get s...

St. John, A Beautiful Adventure

My time off from work has been awesome so far! I love not working. haha. Monday, Amber, Darren, a friend Johnny and I went on a boat adventure over to St. John. It was a small boat just a bit larger than the size of a dingy but it worked! The ride over was bumpy and rough. My butt still hurts a few days later but we got to see St. John from the water and a brown booby (bird) flew with us for awhile which was awesome. Then we found a beautiful cove with a tiny beach and pristine blue water. We pulled the boat in and set the anchor but decided to pull in a little closer, when "well thats odd" came out of our captains mouth. I decided not to worry. Amber and I jumped into the blue water to explore. We got stung by a few things in the water so then got out and tried to track down the goats that were yelling like humans in the mangroves. At one point I was talking to one of the goats that was just out of eyesight. It was hilarious. Then we heard the sound of the engine startin...
