Close to town but not to the city

Back from my trip to Hawaii. And I managed to sun burn the backs of my knees, a strip on the bottom of my back and the backs of my shoulders. Awesome. It's slowly getting better, but I am not yet surviving without the aid of tylonel to kill the pain.

Hawaii was great and so very pretty. Though I could never live there because it's so very humid. And I only saw one cat the whole time I was there, and it was in a graveyard, if that's not foreshadowing I'm not sure what is. We went and saw a lot of things. The Polynesian Cultural Center and that was pretty cool, hit Germaine's Luau, where we saw our neighbor's son, that was awfully strange. Also tried to go on a whale watching trip on which we saw no whales and got really sea sick because it was so rough. It was the roughest boat I've ever been on. We did see some humpback whales the next day when we went to Hanuama bay for snorkeling. The snorkeling was awesome. The fish are just like "I'ma gonna keep eating, you do whatever you want." Awesome. I could spend all day there. I played navigator the whole time because I can read a map. My mom did not appreciate my Sailor Moon jokes about Asian girls on pink mopeds, nor did she appreciate my Dragonball Z jokes about Kamehameha Highway, nor did she appreciate my Monkey Island jokes...sometimes she got the Pirates of the Caribbean jokes, but only sometimes. Next time I definitely need to bring Sarah and Mary.

Other than that the plane ride there was fairly bumpy, but okay. The plane ride back was really awful because I was stuck in the middle and had the only panic attack I had ever had. UGH. Other than that it was a lot smoother than the ride there. However, I'm having some severe chills and a lot of vertigo, which I don't know if that's because the flight back effed up my inner ear, or if I'm actually sick. I just can't tell, but I definitely wish it would stop. The vertigo is no fun at all. I'm also thinking that I might be dehydrated a little bit or something, so a lot of water is going in me as well.

Evil Dead the Musical is going to be in Lynden. Which sounds impossible, but awesome, all at the same time. I totally intend to see it. I can't believe it took me this long to find out and they're building a stage for it and everything at the Northwest Washington Fair grounds. I've got to get some tickets soonish. I'll talk to Mary and see when she wants to go. And then force everyone else to go with me as well.

So I reached my weight loss goal for Hawaii, but then gained back about 3lbs while I was there. I think a lot of it is water because the amount of salt that I ate was ridiculous. Though we did a lot of walking as well. My next goal is to be down to 225lbs by the end of July, which I think will be definitely possible, but I'll have to step up my game with the exercise once the weather gets warmer. I also need to get more on top of my vitamins. I've been really bad about taking my vitamin D. So get better at that, and my doctor suggested taking Magnesium because I get a lot of muscle cramping in my calves, and because I don't sleep well, so it's supposed to help with those things. I'll see how it going.

I'll try to get another Hawaii post up with some of the pictures that I took. Later party people.
