6 Word Catch-up

 Too many things have happened the past 2 months. So here are a series of six words.

1. Scuba at Buford Springs. Neon green.





Seriously though. It was one of the most magical, unique, and beautiful things I've ever seen. I wasn't very impressed with the sinkhole (and got wildly eaten up by noseeums) until my buddy, whose name I still don't know, point up towards the entrance; and there was this huge, awe-inspiring ray of neon green light shining through the cavern. I've never seen a color like that -- like a bright neon green sign from the 90s -- anywhere in nature. The second and third photos above were the closest I could find to match the color. It was striking and I can still visual it in my head.

The scuba divers appeared as stark black silhouettes in the light, floating above us; and at the very top of the sinkhole, just a few feet below the water surface, were four fallen trees, criss-crossed over each other, appearing black like the scuba divers. 

Honestly, I just stared at it, hovering in the water about 80 feet down, for minutes. I wanted to stare at it much longer -- in fact, I probably could have stayed there the whole time, since nothing else caught my interest -- but I wanted to be considerate of the other guy, who I know wanted to look around. 

I don't know that I'll ever see anything like it ever again. It's not a thing I would have ever seen had I not gone scuba diving. What else am I missing in life?

2. Moved once. Moved Twice. And again.

3. Meredith's house. Then Bryan's. Not mine. 
(still no furniture)

4. Roommate is annoying. How will do? 

5. You can't have my food, no. 

6. I am a pool person now!

7. Dog-sitter: it's my new career

8. One Disney interview, two Disney interviews

9. 2-hour long writing exercise? Help! 

10. Please hire me, please hire me.

11. Fuck you, landlords. You have mold. 

12. What is a life without anxiety?

First January in Orlando

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. For some reason, Blogger (a totally dead platform at this point) gives me “Let’s Go Ride a Bike” vibes - in a good way. Which, by the way, I just Googled and they haven’t touched their blog since 2015. What a shame. I really miss the days of blogs.  Most of my writing has been done in a physical notebook, which in many ways I prefer; but in others, it doesn’t quite quench the thirst. One of the things I love about digital journaling is being able to add images and photos (like the one below). While physical journaling feels more intimate and perhaps, authentic in some ways, digital journaling feels more like a creating a story. Two different methods for two different outcomes.  So why the photo of a plant? Well, first, this is a Monstera plant. I’ve loved it’s lines and the holes in its leaves for years, but I never learned its name because it’s not a native plant to Wisconsin. They are to Florida, however, and are super easy to fin...

Cross Training Shoes

I bought my first pair of cross training shoes last week: They're both my first pair of Nike's and first cross trainers. And they are possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. It's a shame I can't use them outdoors because they're so much more comfortable than anything else I own. I bought them after seeing Naz, my krav maga instructor, wearing them, as well as a few other krav/boxing students. I figured if I was going to keep doing combat sports, I should probably get a pair; and frankly, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I freaking love them.

Long Key Vacation

A big weight off my chest. My breath is finally coming easily.  5 days into our vacation and I finally sit with relief. There aren’t many left, but 2 is better than none. This is how I felt when I was in the car on the way down, right before I called my auto insurance and accidentally spiked it $400 by asking a question. It triggered a weeklong series of car problems, ranging from budget planning (and budget panicking) to registration renewal confusion and DMV website issues. And at the end of the day, most of it was a non-issue, so I felt like I expended all this time and energy on nothing, detracting from what I could have given to my trip. But… I learned a lot in the process. I’m more prepared than I was before, although I wish it hadn’t all happened when I was on vacation. I don’t know what it’s like to not have a stressful vacation, and I don’t know that I ever will. I need to figure out how to still be happy despite chronic unexpected frustrations. This might be time to talk ...
