A Perfect Holiday

Christmas has never really been a big deal to me as an adult but I still felt obligated to indulge for my extended family's sake and only in recent years have forgone gift all-together. This year was even better. Because NYE and my Birthday are more big a deal for me, I took off of work for then and hung around in KY for Xmas.

It turned out to be one of my favorite holidays. Xmas eve included board games, indoor bouldering and T-shirt weather. Tyler and I planned a delicious vegetarian Christmas dinner and one of the other guys on property joined us. We slept in and went for a short hike to follow some of the streams that were overflowed on property because of all the rain before starting dinner. We also had lots of wine.

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect time. No stress (except making sure dinner was delicious!). At one point Ty mentioned that he hadn't gotten me anything for Xmas. I smiled because thats exactly what I wanted for Xmas! Just to spend time together, cook a very yummy meal and relax.


Then my birthday was almost ruined by an insane snowstorm! But my Ty made sure that we made it to mke and those who were around and able to brave the storm, turned up. (so many little cars got stuck in the deep snow) We went from first to almost last in trivia but it was so fun.

Then NYE!!! So much glitter. So much. So much love for my friends. So many hugs. So much dancing and tons of laughing. And I took very good care of myself to make sure I could get off Jake's couch in time to get home and catch my bus/plane back to KY.

Red = Passion

Yesterday, I had a shit-eating grin as I was winding through local streets, pedaling and feeling the warm breeze in my hair. I recently, in the last month, moved to the DC area and have been struggling to fit in and find my place. This month, Ty and I got our own room in a place that we share with a few others that are our roommates in our new town. But there are still so many things that are missing in my life. I need yoga, rock climbing and freedom to get around on my own. On Tuesday afternoon, I took that first step at transportation freedom in the form of a two wheeled vehicle. I took the metro to Virginia which is a bit of a ride from my new home on the Maryland side. I stopped at one of the last metro stops and walked out into the sunny, nice weather. I was meeting someone from craigslist who was selling a little, red Schwinn bike. I exited the station and immediately saw the little red bike being held up by a sweet looking, older man. I introduced myself, took the bike for a...

Guatemala: Day One Adventure

The following is a conglomeration of journal writings that I made about my travel day to San Marcos, Guatemala and some additions to make it all run together smoothly: 11/5/15 6:60am Chicago I JUST made my first flight. It helped that the dude behind me in the security line was on my flight. We chatted a bit about travel and it eased my mind a little. I get so stressed out when Im not early... I had to take the earliest bus from Milwaukee at 4:30 am. I slept three hours. 10:55am ATL I think I smell... I didn't do that deodorant thing this morning. Whatever. I had less than an hour layover and had to run through the huge ATL airport to get to my gate. I got there with a bit of time though which is nice. Im between two not so fun humans. One is a very large man who thinks he can have half of my seat (though at least he seems nice) and an older woman who I don't think speaks good spanish or engligh. Also, when she's passed out its fine but as soon as she wakes up, the ...

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...
