Day Thirty-One

I HATE BUGS. Esp horseflies. One bit me at the pond two days ago, and gory details aside, I have right ankle celulitis. Whatever that is. But on the bright side, the doctor in the er told me to take the day off! So I've been chilling out all day watching movies and eating pasta salad (yumm) but now I'm super super bored. Oh, and I've spent pretty much my whole paycheck buying stuff on the internet (while I was keeping tabs on the swelling in my cankle). Yesterday one of the irish lads tried to cheer me up about the whole situation by ensuring me that at least the cankle will be gone by the time I get married. WTF? I sure as hell hope my ankle returns to normal before then!!

That's pretty much it. Quiet on the homefront (besides the music I've been blasting to keep me company). I was looking forward to chilling out today, but it turns out I like working. Weird. Tomorrow I'm definitely going back to work (gotta make up the serious dent in my savings that today did...). And I'm totally looking forward to all of the swag I have coming in the mail (hey, if my ankle has to be a cankle, at least the rest of me can look cute in my new clothes!).

Oh, and I also found this video chilling out on my you-tube tab. I'm guessing someone was using my computer and put it on. I think its cute.



Ta-ta for now!

Day Thirty

Last day with Portney :'(

BUT ANOTHER FUN DAY OF SLOSHBALL! yippie! Work got called off this afternoon due to thunderstorms (yessss) so Portney and I went shopping for a bit. Then we caught the bus over to OB and played kickball with legit 60 people, which was ridiculous but also tons of fun. After we got pizza with the irish lads and topped it off with a fritter from Back Door Donuts (the diet starts right now).

And I forgot to mention our knights in shining armor yesterday. At work, Portney and I were driving out into the pond and chatting busily about who knows what when all of the sudden the motor stopped! Oh no! So I lifted the motor and realized that I had run over a (submerged) lobster pot, and the rope got wrapped around the motor impossibly.... shit. So I tried to get the rope undone when a boat with an adorable dog, wise old man, and handsome young lad in ray bans (yummm) came over to help us. The handsome young lad (not irish) didn't do much to help, but the wise young man ended up jumping in the water (it was barely three feet deep) and freed our motor of the darn rope. Yay! Then the man accidentally dropped his knife and we felt bad since it was basically our fault, but then he found it so everything was good. Yay for damsels in distress :)

Day Twenty-nine

PORTNEY IS ON THE ISLAND!! yeaaaaa boiiiiiiii :) :)

She's being keeping me company at work while I've been leading boats around a pond in the ritzy part of the island. Tough day, right? Friday night we went to my cousins house for a barbeque, yesterday we ran, went to the pond, checked out gay head, and ate more food at sharky's than I am willing to admit (and we've had mad martha's like twice a day, whoopsie). It's been an awesome weekend and very busy busy, so now we're hanging out watching tv (and saving our energy for kickball tomorrow!).

Day Twenty-three

It's been a very long day. Work was a bit tedious, no sightings of Jake in the store, and then the afternoon I literally didn't do much. I dry-capped a boat for demonstration (as damage control, I had fallen off the boat earlier and had to prove myself). But I didn't do much swimming, because jellys have infested the water and there's nothing I dislike/fear more.

After work I went for a run, added some fartleks to increase my stamina (gotta keep up with Jake!), stopped by kickball but wasn't feeling it so I left early.

I am feeling like a little old school Britney though:

Day Twenty-two

JAKE GYLLENHAAL IS ON THE ISLAND!



Spotted: Jake throwing away a piece of trash at the Chilmark Store, by Muffy's dad. Around the same time I was thinking about stopping at the store to buy a coffee...and then decided to not stop. NOOOOOOOO. Big. Mistake.

That aside, I did some "social climbing" of my own last night, other than the Jake stalking. I went to an AUCTION... fun! In reality, I just stood around with Skip and Archie (Muffy was back on the mainland for a regatta) and drank a gin and tonic (yummy)! Then we had lobster (Archie took care of the yuckie intestines for me) and then had a few cups of coffee and left. Go late, leave early.

Day Nineteen

Who gets a cold in the middle of the summer? Not cool. Work's been pretty rough since I've not been able to stop sneezing, but other than that and the terrible heat wave I guess I can't complain. I had the adult session this afternoon, which was nice because I could talk about the nerdy physics and whatnot about sailing, instead of just repeating over and over "tiller towards you!", which as you can assume, gets absurdly redundant. This morning was chill.

Tonight, I'm going to bed early. Gotta kick this cold and get back in the game.
