Bert.... is mad.

Look at bert’s head! It’s about to explode with fury. He’s soooo mad! Oh no.... Bert, will have..... your.... ass..... No. because Bert would never do that. Bert is a loving guy, but he’s reached his limit, as a lot of us do from time to time. Bert gave Ernie ALL of his power. He allowed ernies antics to affect him negatively. What Ernie did? Who knows. Probably swindled Bert out of the bigger piece of pizza, and more grape drink. He does that a lot...

youtube

Or maybe he drank all Bert’s ice cream soda when all he wanted was plain seltzer,

youtube

or he probably annoyed Bert by playing tag with him, when he was trying to read.

youtube

Ernie is a bit inconsiderate like that, or, Ernie is needy, and wants attention from Bert, and Bert is into his own thing, Either way, Ernie doesn’t mean to act like a mindless, thoughtless Turkey culo. He wants love, like we all do. Unfortunately, it’s coming off really inconsideratly. Sometimes, when it’s not you that’s the one being annoyed, it can be hilarious. But let’s put ourselves in each of their positions for a minute...

Bert, does NOT look happy. He looks mad, yes, but also, hurt, upset, not appreciated, not understood, not cared for. Bert, is a perpetual victim of Ernie’s naughty business. Bert can also tend to like things the way he likes them. Kinda an immobile, guy. Maybe a guy that takes himself too seriously, too sensitive, with no sense of humor. BUT, regardless, Bert deserves love, and respect, and consideration even though Ernie doesn’t always show it in the way Bert appreciates. Does that mean Ernie doesn’t love Bert? Not sure. Are they in a serious codependent relationship of abuse? Could be. Or are they in a mutual friendship that somehow works for the both of them? It all depends on your perception.

Let’s take in Ernie for a bit. Ernie, is a purveyor of glad tidings, fun and joy. On the flip side, Ernie has a ton of energy, and doesn’t flow outside of his own desires in the moment very well. Some would say, “Ohhhh... That Ernie... all he cares about is fun, and play, and singing, and dancing, and his rubber ducky, and he’s messy, and carefree, and doesn’t listen to Bert at all. What an Turkey culo!! But Ernie does care about how he, and others like Bert, feel. And he wants to break Bert out of his comfort zone, and have a little fun with his best friend. How you view them, is irrelevant to them, but means everything to you. Because they are not affected by you in the least. They’re muppets. But the energy that they bring up in you, is very very real.

Ernie and Bert are facets of these 2 men: Jim Henson, who played Ernie, and Frank Oz, who still maybe I dunno, periodically plays Bert. But, they created these characters. And they evolved over time, both the characters, and the men.

I heard an interview where frank oz was discussing the character of Bert. At first, bert was a conundrum. He was boring. But frank oz, in his genius, made boring, fun! Well, Bert may be boring, but he loves it! He is the single most boring guy in the world, and loves what he loves; bottle caps, and pigeons named Bernice, and paper clips, and plain soda water. Bert celebrates his boringness to the hilt! I used to not get Bert at all when I was a kid. Bert?! You’re into boring....everything! But now that I’m older, I finally appreciate Bert, and his love of the mundane, cause he’s so into it. And frank and Jim, got it too, and they shared it with me, and all the other kids my age and beyond. Celebrate people not just for their similarities, but their differences too. And if you don’t celebrate their differences, at the very least accept the person, and love them anyway.

Ernie gives Bert a serious headache. So he cares for him, and makes sure he has his hot water bottle (still not quite sure what that does...) But no one can say Ernie doesn’t care, or they can, but they’d be wrong to me, because Ernie, in his own selfish jerk way to some, cares a lot. And I sometimes appreciate him for it. Bert resigns himself to it a lot too, cause after all, both of these characters come from a place of love, and devotion to one another.

But regardless of what I think of either, and much like gayle king of I dunno, and Oprah Winfrey, a Winfrey, they’re best friends. And isn’t it better to be friends, then not? Well, don’t ask me, cause I have none...

George Carlin: Kari, you, are seriously, one of the most ridiculous people I have ever not met personally. You have friends, you just walk away from everyone cause they don’t show up for you the way you’d like. I only know that, because you’re writing me, so I have an insight others don’t, because you cut everyone out. At least with Ernie and Bert, Bert gets pissed, and Ernie knows about it.

Bert in the year 2020: It’s been 50 plus years of ernie’s crazy behavior, and I feel the following: n for numb, b for beaten down, a for aggravated, and n again, for no more...

Ernie in the year 2020: bert, how many times do we have to go through this, Bert? I love you like a brother and friend, and I never want to upset you, ever, Bert. You’re special to me. I’ve learned that over time. You’re my best buddy, Bert! Just like rubber ducky, only you do all the shopping, and cleaning, and the dishes and laundry.

Bert: Er��—niiie! That’s exactly what I’m talking about! You are not responsible for anything! We are both 7, 8, 9 or 10 years old! When are you going to chip in and do your share in this friendship?! All you do is give me grief, Ernie! Grief!

Oscar the grouch: sounds like my kind of guy!!!

Bert: um, youve known him for 50 plus years!

Oscar: well, I didn’t know that about him! I love hate it!

Bert: ok, anyway, Ernie, if you keep doing the same things that make me angry over and over again, how is that changing? I don’t trust you, or believe you. Your words do not match your actions. Aaaagh! I don’t know what to think...

Mr. hooper: maybe I can help. You see boys, this is a classic case of the bullshit that I don’t have to deal with anymore because I am dead.

Bert: um, mr. hooper, you’re not allowed to talk like that on Sesame Street. I’m only 10 years old and I live alone with Ernie, unsupervised, which is bad enough. I don’t think we’re supposed to hear such talk.

Mr. hooper: We’re not on Sesame Street right now, we’re in Kari’s blog, so it’s fine, cause she’s the one swearing, not me, as I, am dead, as I/she stated above. Alight, boys, what I’m trying to say is this; can you please, for once and for all, be more considerate of one another’s feelings and maybe just maybe get back to the love? I’m over all this bickering.

Ernie: yeah Bert, I was trying to tell you that...

Bert: yeah Ernie, but at some point you have to back up your words with the proper actions. How many times have I told you that?! And you ignore me!

The count von count: 7 zillion, 345 trillion, 8 million, 32 times Bert has told you, Ernie, about that! Ah ah ahhhhhhh! (Lightening strikes)

Ernie: you’ve got a point there, Bert. Ok, I’ll show you, by giving you, the bigger piece of pizza once and awhile, and leaving your seltzer, plain, and allowing you to read in peace. Cause I support you bert, and I care.

Bert: that’s great Ernie! I do too! And I’ll make time to play tag with you more, and spend time the way we like to do, together.

Mr. hooper: word(s).

Scene.

George Carlin: Kari, did you her all that?

Kari: yes. Oh man. I’ve been read by Ernie and Bert. Ok, my intention for writing on my blog is not to hurt anyone at all with my POV, but to be honest about my feelings, in love. I try not to be a mean passive aggressive person. I sometimes can be, but I’m trying to clean up my side of the street with that. And I do feel like I am friendless, but it’s because I’m hurt, and don’t feel loved or appreciated sometimes. That’s what it all comes down to, really.

Carlin: ok, clearly you need some time to sort this out. So I’ll leave us with this. I love you. You are a very kind, imaginative woman, who cares about people. I will allow you to sit in hurt as long as you need to. Just know that anytime you’re ready to join the world again, I’ll be there to support you. Some of these people are gone for good, and that’s ok, but some still care, and may want to work it out when the time comes. You’ll see when you’re ready.

Kari: thanks George. I love you too. And I will go and get a piece of almond Kringle now, cause I love O & H kringles (1) a lot, and give you the bigger piece!

Carlin: gee, thanks, as you will be the one ingesting it for the both of us. Better make it a sliver.

Kari: ok.

Scene.

Carlin: oh, and Kari, one more thing...

Kari: what?

Carlin: friends are better, when shared. And by cutting people out, you’re not sharing you. Just sayin...

Kari: no Kringle for you!

Carlin: fine. I’ll keep our girlish figure in tact...

Kari: fine! The whole Kringle for you!

Carlin: she’s maaaaddd...

Cookie Monster: this has been monster-piece theater... good bye! Me eat all the Kringle now, then all her cookies, cause she upset, and she won’t eat anything, so it no go to waste! I love her, so I help!

Kari: I ate ALL the Kringle!

Cookie Monster: noooooooooooo...... (shakes furry blue paw in the air)

Scene scene scene.

(1):,credit for my discovery of the o & h bakery and the Kringle itself goes to my friend Bonnie, who i believe now hates my guts. ❤️

Drank 32 oz of water before 2 pm (drinking at least another 32 while at work) and wow did it increase my supply for my first pumping session. Guess that's what I needed all this time.

How to Prep for a Colonoscopy Naturally?

Preparing for a colonoscopy is no fun task—especially if you want to do it holistically or you follow a Paleo or Autoimmune Protocol (AIP diet).

If you’re wondering “what to eat” or what to expect the day before a colonoscopy (and how to survive with a holistic colonoscopy prep), here’s all you need to know.

Standard Colonoscopy Prep Instructions

In the big scheme of things, colonoscopy prep and procedure really only involves about 48-hours of your time.

In order for the doctor to be able to fully see clearly into your colon with the scope, all needs to be clear, which means:

Fasting for about 24 hours prior to the colonoscopy

Ingesting a large amount of special “poo juice” (i.e. stool softeners and laxative)

And making friends with the toilet for the latter part of the day

Some doctors will suggest you eat a softer foods diet at least 3 days prior to the appointment in order to make things easier to pass and this can be helpful, but may not be 100% necessary to do.

Unfortunately, however, colonoscopy prep ALSO typically includes some non-holistic rituals that can make one who is used to eating a real food, Paleo or AIP-based diet think twice.

Additional (Non-Paleo Friendly) Colonoscopy Prep Recommendations

Non holisitc colonoscopy prep instructions the day before your exam may include:

Drinking Gatorade and Propel to re-hydrate with electrolytes

Sucking on sugary popsicles and candies

Eating Jell-O

Drinking Kool-Aid and sodas

In other words: Starve.

You Can Do Anything for a Day

True, your fasting colonoscopy prep diet is really ONLY for a day (you can do anything for a day—even buck your usual “norm”!), but, if you’re NOT used to blood sugar rushes, food dyes and artificial sweeteners, even one day of these things can feel long and agonizing.

If anything, the MAIN objective of your colonoscopy prep is ONE thing:

Stay hydrated and keep your electrolytes in balance.

—Which is EXACTLY where I personally went wrong. I’ll briefly share with you what I did “wrong” during my Colonoscopy Prep—and how it went down—then give you a play-by-play of steps to take and what to eat in order to have an amazingly easy Colonoscopy.

My Colonoscopy Prep Gone Wrong: What NOT to Do

Long story short: My colonoscopy prep went south QUICKLY because I missed ONE step—I failed to ingest ENOUGH electrolytes during the day!

The result? A midnight trip to the local Emergency Room where I spent 3 hours with my body in “shock” from dehydration as the ER staff nourished my electrolytes back to balance with an IV pump.

I’ll admit, when I saw the words “Gatorade” + “Miralax” as part of my colonoscopy prep, I did not think TWICE about substituting out water for the Gatorade.

I don’t remember the last time I drank Gatorade.

However, looking back on it, I understand WHY the docs prescribe the artificially sweetened beverage—electrolytes.

Electrolyte 101

Your body loses a TON of water, sodium and potassium during the Prep do to all the poo you will be doing. If you DON’T have enough of these minerals, then you can bet your bottom dollar that your body will be in shock!

I Went into Shock

Somehow, I managed to make it the whole day, just fine, no real difficulties, minus hating going #2 every 45-60 minutes near the later hours of the day.

However, come 10 pm as I laid my head down on my pillow to rest, it all of a sudden hit me:

Lightheaded and dizzy

Cold sweat on my brow

Heart beating faster

Shortness of breath

I thought I was having a “low blood sugar” dip from not eating all day, so I raced downstairs to try to get some last minute nourishment in before I was restricted from all liquids at midnight for am 7 am procedure.

Ten-minutes later, I began walking back up the stairs to climb back in bed, and the next thing I knew, I knocked on the door to my mom’s room who was in town to help me out, saying, “Mom, I don’t feel well…” and…

Passing out. On the floor.

To say the least, the event was very traumatic, as I began shaking and convulsing on the floor.

“Lauryn! Lauryn!” my mom cried, and the next thing I knew, the paramedics and ambulance was there to “save the day.”

The prognosis? Severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

I was rushed to the ER where I was “rehydrated” and nourished with IV fluids, while hunger pains and lightheadedness still continued (I couldn’t wait to eat) and I was encouraged to stick out the procedure—only a few more hours to go.

I managed to “make it through,” find out some much-needed information about my own gut health that’s been awry for a LONG TIME —and decide I don’t want to go through that for a LONG TIME.

However, looking back on it all, had I followed the following advice I am about to give you here, I would have been just fine!

The Moral of the Story

In short: Bring on the coconut water, sea salt and Ultima powder! (hydration and electrolytes)

The good news? Yup, you (or I) don’t have to turn to just Gatorade to get these electrolytes.

Don’t let my colonoscopy prep story scare you, but INSTEAD use it to encourage you in HOW to prep for your colonoscopy holistically—especially if you are looking for a Paleo or AIP-friendly approach to doing so.

Holistic Colonoscopy Prep in 3 Steps—Paleo & AIP Friendly

Step 1: Begin Eating Easy-to-Digest Foods 1-3 Days Before Your Prep Day

This step is not ESSENTIAL, but most folks don’t complain when they DO eat with “easy digestion” in mind 1-3 days leading up to the Colonoscopy Prep Day.

Essentially, this means, avoiding some harder to digest foods like:

Nuts & Seeds

Raw Veggies & Raw Fruits

Breads, Crusts, Crackers & other Grains/Glutenous Foods

Pork (slower digesting protein)

Aim to eat:

Smoothies

Bananas, cooked apples or pears/apple sauce

Cooked, sautéed and steamed veggies (cauliflower mash, steamed broccoli, sautéed greens, etc.)

Starchy tubers (cooked and cooled)

Shredded and flaky meats and fish

Pastured eggs (if you tolerate eggs)

Healthy fats (avocados, ghee, butter, coconut butter, etc.)

Some directions will tell you to “AVOID” meats, coconut, avocado and leafy greens, but I found by prepping these well, I had no issues personally with keeping to my usual diet.

Step 2: Stock Up on These Goods & Prep Any Foods You Need

Hit the store a day or two before your prep to ensure you’ve got the goods you need.

Grocery List

Coconut Water

Vital Proteins Collagen Protein or Equip Protein Powder

Cold Pressed Green Juice

Ultima Lemon Electrolyte Powder

Bone Broth

Gelatin & Fresh-Squeezed Juice (NO red, blue or purple)—to make “Jell-O” or popsicles

Sea Salt (add liberally to your broths and juices)

Foods you love for your Post-Colonoscopy meals since you’ll be taking it easy that day. Some ideas:

Green Smoothie: Coconut Milk, 1/2 Banana, 1 Scoop Protein, Greens, 1/2 Avocado

Shredded Chicken, Sweet Potato, Greens, Coconut Butter

Canned Wild Salmon, White Sweet Potato with Ghee, Asparagus

Ground Turkey (sausage), Butternut Hash, Steamed Broccoli

Pastured Eggs (scrambled), Mushrooms, Avocado, Spaghetti Squash

Meatloaf Muffin, Cauliflower Mash

AIP Pumpkin Muffin with Coconut Butter, Chicken Apple Sausage

Chicken & Veggie Bone Broth Soup

After your grocery run, take an hour or so to prep a few goodies to have on hand for your “Prep Day.” Here are some ideas:

Holistic Recipes for Colonoscopy Prep Day

Easy Paleo Jell-O by Wellness Mama

Homemade Popsicles-AIP, Paleo

Golden Milk Popsicles by My Heart Beets

The Ultimate Coconut Popsicle by Coconut Mama

Bone Broth Soup by Phoenix Helix

Green Juice by Stupid Easy Paleo

Step 3: Eat & Drink THIS on Colonoscopy Prep Day

Technically, you are told to stick to liquids only on prep day. In my personal experience however, I ate my typical breakfast of turkey sausage, avocado, pan fried greens and roasted carrots before 9 a.m. on my prep day—and am glad I did because I don’t think I would have made it.

The good thing? I was fully clear by that time and prepped for my 7:00 am procedure.

Here’s a sample idea of what to eat in the 24-hours leading up to the procedure.

8:30 a.m, (20-24 hours before): Eat a balanced real-foods meal

12 p.m,: 8-12 oz. Coconut Water or Lite Coconut Milk with Collagen/Protein Powder; Green Juice Prep: Take Ducolax Tablets

1 p.m.: Begin Miralax Prep in Water with Ultima Powder. Drink 8 oz. of the prepared prep

mixture every 15 minutes for a total of 32 oz. (HALF OF PREP MIXTURE). Add a pinch of sea salt to your mix.

3 p.m.: 16-20 oz. Bone Broth with Collagen & Sea Salt, Gelatin “Jell-O” or Popsicles (made with Green Juice)

4 p.m.: Take 2 Ducolax Tablets with some Coconut Water & Sea Salt

5 p.m. Prep #2: Drink 8 oz. of the prepared prep mixture in Ultima every 15 minutes until the last 32 oz. are finished. Add a pinch of Sea Salt to your mix.

6 or 7 p.m.: 16-20 oz. Bone Broth with Collagen & Sea Salt, “Jell-O” or Popsicles

9:30 or 10 p.m.:Ultima Powder in Water or more Jell-O or Bone Broth if “hungry”

Aim to “eat” every 2-3 hours, and drink liquids with electrolytes throughout the day. You will be “liquid full,” but to keep hunger at bay, incorporate collagen and protein via broth or powder in the day.

Bonus: Day of the Colonoscopy

You can’t eat or drink anything (except maybe suck on some ice chips), the day OF the colonoscopy (at least 2-4 hours before the procedure) so your food doesn’t mess with the anesthesia.

That said, I KNEW I was pretty hungry going into my colonoscopy, so went ahead an prepared my post-procedure meal—one of my faves:

Post-Colonoscopy Meal

Ground Turkey Patty with smashed Avocado

Roasted Rainbow Carrots

Pan-Sauteed Greens in Coconut Oil

—My doc said I could go back to eating regular foods as tolerated, and I was able to tolerate this just fine.

As a back up, I kept a Banana with Coconut Butter, Green Juice and simple Beef Isolate Protein Powder to mix up on hand IN CASE I couldn’t stomach food…but I was golden (and never as happy to eat again as I was after everything was said and done).

The End

Voila!

Before you know it, your colonoscopy will come and go, and you’ll be back to your norm—doing what you love to do.

My GREATEST colonoscopy “mishap” was NOT drinking enough electrolytes during the day (since I thought water could replace Gatorade). Had I ensured I got my electrolytes in through coconut water and more holistic powders (like Ultima), I believe my experience would have been a breeze!

After the procedure, I slept for about 2-3 hours on the couch at home after eating—so thankful to be well-fed—and then popped up, ready to start the day!

While I did take the day off from my usual routine (driving, gym, etc.), I did go to town with spring cleaning my apartment, stretching at home with my own yoga practice and working on my latest book outside in the beautiful spring sunshine.

You will be JUST FINE and live to tell about it…just don’t forget to hydrate 🙂

MASTER CLEANSE

So I never thought Id be able to do something like this..but after a 2 week binge session in LA, I had to put a stop to my eating and drinking habits. I had gorged myself beyond comfort.. lost confidence and felt shitty and tired, even when trying to workout. As tough as it is to swallow, losing weight cant be done just by going to the gym. I thought I could eat like crazy, and go to the gym and magically burn 2000 calories. Wrong. The mental aspect of knowing I have eaten well drives my workout to to next level. Not to mention the beneficial chemical properties of healthy foods. As much as I try to start eating healthy again, I stop within 2 days..once my Trader Joe’s supply runs dry. My mindset needed to change, or I was not going to see the results I wanted. Im an all-or-nothing person, and these extremes are good when they benefit you, however, if Im in a binge eating phase-that hole becomes deeper and deeper.

SO I DECIDED TO CLEANSE- I have been reading lots of blogs about the master cleanse..and they left out the details about the cleanse that I was missing. The Truth. And if you don’t want to read about some gross well..shit..then I suggest you dip out!

THE RECIPE/DIRECTIONS

2 T organic lemon or lime juice.

2 T organic Maple Valley Syrup.

1/10 t cayenne pepper.

10 oz spring or purified water.

Drink 6 to 12 glasses per day.

DAY 1-3 You will start with the salt water flush (2 teaspoons of salt & 32 oz of h20-basically a standard nalgene bottle size)

for the rest you will drink a mixture of lemon juice/maple syrup/cayenne pepper

end the evening with smooth move laxative tea.

DAY 1- Woke up hungover AF. In NEED of a cleanse. Went to the store and got the ingredients..there were free flowers at the grocery store!! My award for cleansing! Did the salt water flush, and thought I was going to gag but then pictured the salt water as soup, and it helped me enough to get it down the hatch. I was at the toilet almost immediately. I will just say that there is a reason they call it a flush. I drank about 70 or so oz of the lemonade mixture. I wasn’t hungry until the night time, and I had my boyfriend talk me through it. IT HELPS TO HAVE SOMEONE TO CLEANSE WITH OR AT LEAST SOMEONE WHO WILL TALK YOU THROUGH IT. I might have given up at this point..but the Lemonade mix is pretty delicious, so its nice to have. When you crave food- go to the Lemonade. It will give you what you need.

Went to bed and drank the smooth move . WOW. Woke up in the middle of the night and ran to the bathroom. (I TOLD YOU THIS WAS GOING TO GET GRAPHIC) by now its pretty much water.

wet wipes..all I gotta say,

DAY 2- Woke up at 7am feeling sharp. And not HUNGRY. Was dreading salt water, but I slammed it down. Bout the same timing as my flush yesterday. I still dont feel hungry, but have energy. I heard people get nauseous but I think they are pansies lol. Ive lost 3 pounds. Not that exciting or surprising..as I have been shitting my brains out. I made my mix with a little more cayenne today because I like the flavor of the spice. Will see how this turns out.

Stay tuned. Hit me up with any questions or motivation!!!! Id love to talk to someone else who is cleansing..so we can keep eachother on track. xoxo

I got tagged by @cafecliche (actually she tagged me at my main but I never do ask things over there soooo)

1. 5 things you will find in my bag/backpack

-my laptop, always, for obvious reasons

-a tiny pin that says “fuck you” in pink cursive-- I normally keep it on my bag but I take it off when I have to meet Real Grown-Up Folks

-a solar panel! that’s actually on the outside of my backpack but it doesn’t really work anyway. it’s supposed to power a little charger pack but the connection got funky after I’d had it for like six months

-an obnoxiously large 32 oz water bottle because as much as I hate it, staying hydrated enough does help with my mood (especially because I never get enough sleep)

-miscellaneous crumpled papers with math and doodles and math doodles

2. 5 things you will find in my bedroom

-a very large piece of foam core that says “I’D FUCK HIM” and has red hearts all over it-- it was a prop when we did bloody bloody andrew jackson and I swiped it because I thought it was funny. it currently resides across the room from my roommate’s crucifix

-a giraffe pillow pet named hugo

-more blankets than one person should own

-a carton of diet raspberry tea snapples, for some reason? i got them in september and only ever drank two because i was saving them for special occasions but then no occasion felt special enough for the snapples

3. 5 things I’ve always wanted to do in life

-go to israel

-go scuba diving again (I went once when I was 12 and it was awesome and it’s been a million years since I went swimming)

-get a tattoo-- I don’t know what or where yet, but it’s gonna happen some day

4. 5 things on my to-do list

-be gay irl with @gavrielsaporta

-I can lick my nose!

-I speak decent spanish, but not a lick of hebrew. rumor has it that my middle name (it’s a family name) comes from as far back as the spanish inquisition. i’d tell the whole story but maybe i should retain just a little bit of my privacy here on this hell site

Wed., January 18, 2017

Today’s goals:

- Do an at-home workout of some kind (the gym has been really busy lately and I just need a break from that for a day)

- Eat well and listen to body to see if I’m actually hungry <I had one snack today, but my body needed some food as I was starting to fade while organizing.>

- Do the dishes

- Reset the furniture in the loft

- Get rid of the pile in the invisible corner

- Wipe down all mirrors and bathroom countertops

- Read at least 25% of book (Buffering by Hannah Hart!) <I am about to do this as soon as I finish here - I’m excited!>

- Drink at least 80 oz. of water <I’ve drank 48 oz so far, 32 to go!>

- Rewrite and submit first piece to new online magazine

- Email newspaper editor about job

- Update budget with new expenses

THINGS TO AVOID TODAY:

- The TV <I mostly was good about this today. The only time I had the TV on was when I was organizing things downstairs and had everything splayed out in front of the TV and then transitioned into a break. Much better than having the TV constantly on all day.>

- The bed <Making the bed actually kept me out of it. I sat on it for about ten minutes, but other than that, I stayed out. Maybe that’s the secret - make the bed and then you won’t want to mess it up.>

- Snacking, especially since I am not going to the gym <I had one snack this afternoon to get over a hump. It was a cup of Honey Nut Cheerios and they were delicious.>

Other things I tackled today:

- I surprised myself and organized a pile of stuff downstairs as well. There’s still a little ways to go with putting that stuff away in its proper place (we have so much office supplies and I’m not sure how we collected as much as we did). Once I get this job, we’re going to make a trip to Ikea to get some organizing bins and storage supplies. This will hopefully help us keep things off the floor and from stacking.

- I finished cutting out all the shapes for the second pseudo stuffed animal I’m making. I even started sewing the first couple of stitches, only to realize I should probably get some white thread to make it look cleaner. And, as I’m not used to my sewing machine yet, I messed up anyway so I’ll have to recut parts of one of the eyes.

I feel good about what I accomplished today. I didn’t do the writing I’ve been meaning to, but I’ll get there. I think keeping myself from getting distracted by screens will be a good step in the right direction. It just sucks being in limbo the way we are right now with waiting for the official offer for this job for me and finding out whether or not Josh is getting the promotion/raise he is up for. It’s very stressful not knowing and hoping that tomorrow will bring good news for both of us.

Step 2: Culiacan

Because I bought my ticket in the middle of the night and was in a rush to get to Spain I noticed some lengthy gaps between flights, but I felt like that was necessary because I was going to another country. My next flight that I had to catch in Culiacan originally had a 3 hour gap in between. Now with the delay the flight was scheduled to leave before I even was supposed to arrive. Thank fully the site I used guarantees your connecting flight.

After landing the other plane had already been delayed and waiting for around 30 mins so we were able to get off the plane first and rush through customs. I know I study Spanish and I am coming to Spain to practice but I wasn’t in that mindset yet. So, after getting off the plane I was unsure what to do, did I have to pick up my luggage or would it just to go the plane because it had the tag on it?

With these questions in mind my first instinct was to ask for clarification, after asking about 3 people if they spoke English and hearing no each time I realized my learning/practicing would begin here I started to piece together what I did know to help in the current situation I was asking broken questions to get information like “ Estoy en un lugar correcto porque yo tengo otra avion listo ahora” which translates to “Am I in the right place I have a plane that is ready now”. This was answered with “Si” but the explanation after I didn’t try to decipher too much because at least I was in the correct area. After going through the customs attendant and getting my passport stamped I then had to wait for my checked bags sign a declaration paper and have them get put through a machine. After that I was in the main airport with all my stuff trying to figure out where I now needed to drop these bags off at.

After finding the Volaris bag station I dropped off my bags and headed for the security check, I had to ask for directions cause I had no idea which was it was so here was more Spanish to practice conversationally. “Donde esta un cheque de securidad” To be fair it translates pretty clearly to “where is the security check”, so I was happy to be understood and be able to understand directions as well when given them. Off to security I go.

So, every country I am sure is different but things were not as strict as America so the process was pretty quick and straight forward with similar liquid carrying limits and other details. So my smaller suitcase that traveled with me on the plane went through good, then my backpack got stopped. I forgot that while in Phoenix I filled up my hydro-flask because I know the regular water in Mexico can make people sick. However, because I had to go through security again 32 oz was too much liquid to carry. Which was fine I had no emotional attachment to the water. But when I asked where to dump it out I looked around for a trash can or something and there wasn’t any in the smaller security area I was now in.The security lady then made the motion with her hand telling me I had to DRINK IT.

My first thought was are you freaking kidding me, is this a joke? The flight before was pretty short around 2 hours so I legit had not drank any of the water yet and now I had to chug 32 oz?! Oh yeah the other fun thing was I got the water and tasted it and eh it was okay but it was weirdly warm so I thought ill just take some in case or until I get more that was cold. So, here I was in this tiny airport which was extremely humid {I am not ashamed to say I think I sweat excessively for future references and the explanation of why in every airport I have a sweating story} already sweating from running like beads dripping down my face and that like boob sweat that gathers. Anyways long story short I was gross and in a rush so you know what I did. I freaking chugged that kinda gross awkwardly warm water while the security lady watched. When I finished she checked my water to make sure it was empty I grabbed my crap and dipped. When I say dipped usually I legit mean like took off. But after a few steps things turned in to a brisk walk this was because the floor was tile and the place was grossly humid.

Which means there was so much water in the air that it settles and separates kind of like dust so the floors were sweating as well and slippery, so to reduce my change of wiping out I walked. The gate wasn’t decided yet on my ticket so I just showed someone my ticket and asked “Cual puerta esto” which is “which door is this”. In Spanish countries they pretty much all call the gate “puerta”. They told me a number and direction and that was where I was headed. Finally I made it too the plane got on board and found my seat which was the very last row on the plane finally I could breathe and relax. The nice thing about being in the back was I was close to the bathroom, once we reached cruising altitude I went to the bathroom to freshen up. I had face wipes, vagina wipes, and regular for the body, I reapplied deodorant and headed back to my seat.

Now that things had settled the plane was getting colder and I sneezed and the older gentlemen on the other side of the aisle said “salud” which is pretty much bless you and when I answered in Spanish saying thanks which isn’t really advance he started talking to me. He was the first of many to ask if I was athlete, but he asked what I studied and the conversation fizzled out cause he started saying words I didn’t know and I was tired so I wanted to sleep for a little if I could. This was Culiacan.
