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…

Day Thirty
When I set out to create this blog, I thought I’d string together one-hundred posts, make them relevant to each other from one day to the next and by the end of the one-hundred days, I would have a book. That is proving to not be the case. I started to realize early on what…

Day Twenty-Nine
My coveted day off, woo-hoo. Shortly after I woke up this morning, the phone in my room rang. It was our Food Services Supervisor, Drew. He said he thought he had my keys and then described the keychain, yep, he had my keys. I said, oh no–that’s not good, my keys unlock the store and…

Day Twenty-Eight
After all that talk of mid-winter yesterday, I arrived at work today to a message in my inbox and the subject line was mid-winter dinner. The message was from my friend, Ed, over at Scott Base. Scott Base is the Antarctic home of our Kiwi neighbors. The message was an invitation to be Ed’s plus…

Day Twenty-Seven
As I sat down to write this, I realized tomorrow is my Friday and shook my head in disbelief at how quickly the week went by. The summer did not go by anywhere near as quickly as the winter season is going by. I know I’ve said that before, but it is worth noting again…

Day Twenty-Six
The other morning I put on a shirt I have not worn in a few months. This proved to be a stressful event that plagued my day. The shirt was snug. It was not snug a few months ago. So then I put on a pair of shorts that I also haven’t worn for a…

Day Twenty-Five
Last Thursday, when I was lounging and scrolling on the internets, I added putting more pages to this site on my to-do list. Maybe an about me page, a summary of my Tuscarora Trail and Laurel Highlands Trail hikes, maybe a bit on the Peak District hiking from last summer…lots of adventures to write about.…

Day Twenty-Four
Tonight we enjoyed Stall-a-Palooza. From 8PM until 11PM, I cranked out poem after poem at my Bad Poetry stall. I barely looked up. It’s almost midnight now and I am spent. I’ll share more about Stall-a-Palooza soon, but now I must sleep. For three hours she wrote Poem after poem. Good ones and bad ones.…
