Marching forward

I'm blogging from my phone in bed. Yes, it's not even 9:30 p.m. and I'm about to doze off.

Unfortunately this weekend didn't consist of much catching up on sleep. I had a lot to get done, so I ended up staying awake until an unreasonable hour this weekend. This coming week is going to be a bit hectic, too, so I'm just hoping I can stay energized!

Well, to make a long story short, I reinjured my back right before I left for Cancun 11 days ago. The doctor put me on an anti-inflammatory medication that gave me a stomach ulcer while in Cancun. If anyone is thinking, 'Hey, didn't you experience an unusual and random health occurrence last time you left the country,' then you are correct. I have improved significantly since I returned home. But ouch!

Cancun was a blast, though. One of my favorite experiences was the spa. It was much less awkward than the spa in the Dominican, for those of you who know that story. There was this freezing cold tub to jump in before the hot tub, and it was unreal. The water was about 55 degrees. I was in so much pain! It was the biggest thrill of the trip, I'd say. I've never experienced anything like it.

One other random trip fact before I fall asleep... Before the flight there, they made us fill out emergency contact forms. Weird, huh? Maybe it's a new international policy or something, but it felt very field trip-like. And a bit unsettling.

Well, I'm gonna shut these silly, watering eyes.

CHARLEY HORSE!

Hey!

Man, last night when I was sleeping, I got the worst Charley horse in my leg. There's not a lot that makes me feel as out-of-control as a Charley Horse does. INTENSE!

Let's see... I came back to town on Wednesday; I was at the beach. My cousin and I flew back, so that was an adventure. Airplanes are pretty freaky, but it's not as bad when the entire flight is 42 minutes. The taking off and landing parts are what creep me out, but I remained pretty calm.

I was also in the newspaper on Wednesday. The CFF is hosting an event on Thursday, and the paper came to my [ransacked] place for an interview. You can access the article here. Celeb! I'm excited, too, because it mentions Drew's Crew!

So, the total fishing count for the beach was 12 sharks and 14 non-sharks. The sharks were so cute! I won't say that next year when one of 'em bites my leg off, but I liked them!

Yesterday I ate some funnel cake! I went to a festival and it poured! I don't know why I'm typing so many exclamation marks.

My floor and walls are still MIA right now, but I'm going to get insurance on the horn tomorrow for an update. It's a little frustrating that it's been almost a month since the fiasco and no repairs have been done yet, but I'm hoping we can get the show on the road this week.

I'm about to go to sleep. It's early and all of that, but I'm exhausted! I met KW at Starbucks this morning because I had to work on some stuff for the CF center communications plan. I got a lot accomplished, but I'm still not quite done.

I'm going to get up and exercise in the morning. MARK MY WORDS!
