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?

Pole update 5 / Karate update 1

POLE This last weekend I took my first pole workshop with a traveling instructor. Even though I didn't find it overly helpful (or worth the money), I still consider it a milestone in my pole fitness journey. The instructor was Brynn Route, and we did a series of unconnected floor choreography sequences. I didn't find it very helpful because it wasn't applicable to anything else, and I really wanted to learn some actual pole tricks. If I'm paying $90 for a session, I want to get something out of it that I wouldn't from a regular class (or YouTube). One of the other girls, Jill, was struggling just as much as I was with a lot of the moves in the workshop (Brynn was super nice, but she only showed each complicated sequence twice without a breakdown before having us do it), which was fantastic in camaraderie. At the end of the workshop she turned to me and said, "you're so strong," which just made my life. I told her I didn't really know how to res...

Purgatory

Disney purgatory.            Writing purgatory.                          Job purgatory.  I feel like I've finally climbed to the top of the treehouse. Now I'm standing on the highest deck, looking out above the trees at the horizon, waiting to see if I'm getting a room in the house... or stepping onto the rope elevator back to the ground. It feels so close to one of them. This week is going to take forever.  It's really a 50/50 feeling. Maybe they'll accept me... maybe they won't. I'll have gotten all the way to the very end, and then let go. Let loose back in the cold, hard world of unemployment. The other Disney job, Stacy's old CT one, is still in the air; but Amy's also in the running, and I doubt I can outperform her. Although I do have Stacy's gold-star recommendation behind me, so I'm not going to give up.  Hopefully, it doesn't go that far, though. Hopefu...

January 19: Rennigers, Mt. Dora, and FARTS

Twice a year the big flea market in Mt. Dora does a really big version. The event (or location?) is called Rennigers. Today was the first day of it's first event (it's a 3-day event). Bryan invited me to go up with him, and we left around 9:45am. It was fun, even though it started raining again in the afternoon; and I bought a pair of earrings, elephant planter, and 9x9 baking pan for Oma's apple cake. This was a table I really liked at the market. If I had a wood shop, I could make it. The elephant planter, looking fabulous. It's the same one we had growing up! Then we went to Mt. Dora and got drinks at an upstairs cafe. He got a lavender latte, which he didn't like, and I got a lavender steamer, which was delicious. We wandered over to the park with the boardwalk and lighthouse. It's the smallest lighthouse I've ever seen. Not sure if it was ever functional, but it's on a "port" where boats dock, so maybe. We saw an anhinga eating a big fish ...
