Wooo! I survived Hurricane Irma 2017, and so did the rest of my family! The storm took a turn from directly hitting Ft. Lauderdale and went out West instead. Aside from some downed trees and no power/wifi/phone service from Saturday-Thursday, we were lucky not to feel the catastrophic effects of Irma.

Nothing too exciting happened since I last posted. This past week I….

-watched the hurricane blow from Saturday to Monday

-spent a lot of time inside with my family….maybe too much 😛

-taught my little cousin how to play chess

-played other games like checkers, cards, apples to apples, mario, etc.

-read some books:

1. Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance
2. The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Noyes
3. Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty
4. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

I’m currently reading The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, which I’m loving at the moment. Ever since I caught up in the Game of Thrones book series, I’ve been looking for a replacement.

-Walked around the aftermath and was given a large avocado by some friendly woman in the neighborhood

-I spent a couple hours at the beach with my cousin to soak up some last minute rays.

Now, I’m heading to New York City to reunite with my best gal pal Katie and other good friends (Hi Hooligans!).
