The last couple of weeks have been good and bad. Here are the ups and downs:
Work has been intense. Ive been working all night shifts, no time for developing my garden, planting more plants, mixing the compost or other office work. We have been busy. Its been good but also super exhausting. Im exhausted. It has given me hardly any time for myself. I want to exercise more but I'm too tired to get moving in the morning before my shift...
On Wisconsin!! Watching the final four was super fun! Im not a huge basketball fan but I love watching big games like that. Winning against Kentucky was super exciting and then the amazingly close game against Duke was great to watch. I was almost asleep at the bar last night but it was worth it. Shout out to the generator at Melt cause the power was out. Went out right as Ty and I finished cooking for Amber and Darren! (Burrito night!)
The cats are super adorable. They come hang out by me a lot and the baby girl kitty loves to cuddle with me. Im gonna miss those fur balls when I leave here.
Any Pretty Little Liars fans out there?? (Shout out to you Elizabeth!!) I just binge-watched the winter season and dangggggg, it ended crazy! I know its like to worst show ever, but its super addicting and gets my mind off of work for a bit. Cant wait for the summer season! We watching together again this summer, Elizabeth??
Falafel. Ty and I made falafel the other day and it was super delish. I was surprised at how good it was. Im going to do it again!! Ty also made hummus and tzatziki sauce. yum, yum! Mediterranean food is my favorite!! Ty and I have been cooking lots of delicious at home meals that are healthy! Makes me happy :)
Easter at work was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was actually kinda fun. We did crafts all day and spent some time cleaning the office afterwards. Not bad.
I am in love with my homemade face scrub. Every time I use it I want to eat it. Smells like cinnamon rolls... And it works pretty dang good too!
Yesterday I had some time to catch up on my cleaning around the house and then went for a swim for exercise at Vessup. Ive been scared to swim there because its a very dirty beach (people just throw their trash on the beach cause they dont know better... its weird and very sad) So I thought there would be a lot of weird stuff in the water, but I sucked it up and did lap along the beach. It wasn't bad until I came face to face with a three foot long barracuda! Ive never seen one so big. I knew it wouldn't hurt me at all but it was huge and he was staring me down as I swam past. After that I saw a bunch of weird trash in the water so I decided to get out. Was a good exercise and refreshing!
Today I planned to go hiking on St. John by myself. There is a nice hiking trail right off the ferry that I did with my parents that I wanted to do. I have been needing some good cardio. It took me a little while to get moving in the morning but I made it over by 11 and the hike was perfect. Up at the top, I was sitting on the view-tower and an older couple joined me. I started conversation with them, turns out they were from Chicago. We talked about environmental education and how the islands are different from the states. Its rare that I have a good conversation with a stranger!
After my chat, I continued my hike down to the beaches, put up my hammock at Soloman beach, napped and while reading my book, I watched Ty hike in a group from the Ritz on a boat trip. I smiled and waved at him but didn't want to disturb him at work. It was pretty funny to see him at work and me be completely relaxed in my hammock! After more reading, a quick snorkel and some more sun, I hiked back to Cruz bay to grab some frozen yogurt and catch the ferry back to St. Thomas. Im exhausted and really really dont want to go to work tomorrow.
So, I have decided that Im going to spend the last two weeks here traveling. I would love to see some other islands and other adventures while Im here. I dont want to miss out! So if there is anyone who would like to join me for anything, please do so! Its more fun traveling with someone then alone. The last week in May I will be in Puerto Rico for sure!!
