Day Forty
I slept so well last night. It was glorious. It’s not often anymore that I can just lay down, close my eyes and go to sleep so when it does happen I am very happy about it. I slept in this morning as well, so I started the day fully rested and I am telling…

Day Thirty-Nine
Sunday, again. Last night’s Pride party was pretty entertaining. I stayed up and out with the crowd until 1:30AM. I even danced(!) Sometimes it was awkward as could be and sometimes I felt completely free. I suppose that is progress. There were a handful of songs that I could just close my eyes and pretend…

Day Thirty-Eight
Last night’s darts were a success. We played in teams, with the same partner for all three games in the tournament. My partner was Ed, the Engineering Maintenance Supervisor at Scott Base. We won all three games and I threw pretty well. In the middle of the evening, the Scott Base radios went off telling…

Day Thirty-Seven
I’ve been back in the can’t fall asleep until after two in the morning zone, which is extra yuck. It was around two when I looked at the clock for the last time and then my alarm went off just before eight. I’d arranged to join supply in the warehouse for the store this morning.…

Day Thirty-Six
I spent most of today in the station craft room trying my bestest to make a mask for the upcoming carnival/masquerade themed mid-winter dinner. The end result was more of a feathered headpiece with a secondary detachable maskish type thing, lol. While I was rooting through all the supplies in the craft room, I found…

Day Thirty-Five
Struggling to come up with words today, so this is probably gonna be random AF. I’m also in rare form. Like that first sentence wasn’t a clue in. My workday ended in the store, with my friend Marty spotting me as I made multiple attempts at doing a handstand. I’ve had the urge to do…

Day Thirty-Four
Busy day in MacTown. It started off with a very windy beverage pull this morning. So cold. Then after the lunch time hours at the store, I popped over to our fuels department and helped unwind over a mile of fuel hose while the fuelies checked the line for any damage. This is one of…

Day Thirty-Three
My going-out and socializing streak continues. Karaoke on Friday, Scott Base on Saturday, a Women of Winter get together on Sunday, and tonight which is Monday, Open Mic night. I know it’s been good for me, too. Keeps me out of my head, which is always a good thing. The Women of Winter gathering was…

Day Thirty-Two
I’ve shared a few reasons I decided to come down here over the past month. There are a handful, including the adventure of it all. Checking off another continent of course and doing it in a way that I am making money as well. Not just passing through on a vacation, but really getting to…

Day Thirty-One
It’s eleven in the evening and I’ve just come home from visiting our Kiwi neighbor’s at Scott Base. They announced they were having a party a couple weeks ago and tonight was the night. I went out last night, too. Who am I? I think I must have reach lack of socializing capacity and it…
