Alright Mother Nature, we need to talk. I appreciate you wanting me to feel welcomed back to Wisconsin, but this really wasn't necessary. No, really. This is one thing I seriously didn't miss. And you went all out, didn't you? Two snow falls in 3 days. And it's only the end of October. ::sigh::
Welcome back!!
Tuesday's snowfall
Thursday's snowfall
Oh, and
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Sitting in another airport, getting ready to board for my next adventure. I've spent the last 3 months in Hawaii (about 10 days on Oahu and just over 2 months on Maui). On Oahu, I saw family I haven't seen in nearly 15 years, learning more about where I come from. On Maui, I did a work-exchange (check out workaway.org) with a family mostly involving house and animal sitting as well a separate Respite gig with a lovely nonagenarian.
It's been good to relax, just slow down my daily life. I explored, but also found times where just reading a book or relaxing on a beach was considered a good day. There's still a lot for me to see. Who knows? Maybe I'll be back! ::chuckle::
My next destination is Seattle. Lucky me, I arrive on my little cousin's birthday. Shhh! I've got a gorgeous mu'umu'u for her. ::fingers crossed:: that she likes it. Seattle is a pit stop before heading to Reno for....Burning Man!!! Super excited to be back on the Playa for the whole burn. Last year was overwhelming for a lot of different reasons and add on that I arrived late and left early...a bit hard to fully relax into the space.
Lots of people are asking when I'll make it out to them. Wish I had an answer but just taking it a few weeks at a time. I've got it planned as far as my next stop after Reno, but that's it thus far. And all this flying isn't cheap!! ::crying:: Finally getting my online teaching sorted so that should help give me some stability as well as flexibility.
Just wanted to give a quick update. Love to everyone and see many of you soon!!!!! Lovelovelovelovelove!!!!

Long time, no post...I know! But hopefully you've been checking out my vlog on Youtube. ::fingers crossed::
Today I'm going to share a video I posted a week or so ago with some new glasses I purchased from zennioptical.com. Side note: No, I'm not getting paid to advertise this company. Heck, they have no idea I made the video and this post. ::chuckle:: I just really like this site!!
Anywho, I've been purchasing from them since about 2013 and fricken LOVE their frames (and their prices! ::grin::) I found out about them through a friend (Cecelia, was it you?) and have never gone back. It was really helpful when I lived in the States because as my health insurance typically covered only contacts OR glasses, this let me still have both. And went I traveled abroad, I also discovered they ship internationally! Even to small islands in Thailand!! Whoot whoot!
Here's a video of me receiving my most recent pairs of glasses. My last ones finally had enough. I'd had them for over 4 years and they'd put up with a lot so....well done. ::applauding:: I went with one familiar pair, but decided to try something different with my second pair. Funny story, I've ordered the same two pairs of glasses with varying designs every time purely by accident. Apparently I just really like them!
And here are some random photos of my past pairs including the goggles I talked about in the video. You can even seen the lens inserts. I cropped photos as I didn't get prior permission to post of some of my friends/family.
You can't see the side, but they have the same swirly design as my green ones. Photo courtesy of Shawn Fe
In my video, I showed how my most recent pair was picked because it has swirls. This is one of the symbols for my camp Habitat for Insanity. I also got an inscription that has our placement this year. Here's the thing though, our placement has changed.....to 4:30 B plaza. Sooooo, I guess I'll have to see if I can turn that "F" into a "B". ::laugh:: Wish me luck!!
Showing my campmates my new glasses (right after I'd found out our placement had changed).

So apparently it is Easter Sunday today. I say "apparently" because if it wasn't for social media (and my father calling me the evening before to wish me a happy Easter), I would have continued this day as regularly scheduled. Now that it has been duly noted, I feel the desire to make a nod to the day by sharing a video I took a while back. It wasn't on Easter, but I guess you could say it has Easter-tones of the "Peeps" variety. I'll let you all make the final call. ::chuckle::
Enjoy!!
As always, please feel free to explore my other writings on this blog as well as my vlog on YouTube which can be reached HERE! I will be posting more videos soon so keep an eye out!
