Well, we are still waiting. I am fairly certain the lady sitting next to me has tuberculosis.
I offered to lick my finger and wiggle it around in Wilkes ear...oddly, he didn't think that would help.
Huh. :)

Doctor Hunt of Doom...
Well, we are waiting outside of doctor #3.
Doctor #1 was off island; Doctor #2 had a waiting room (and hallway) full of folk and was not taking anymore walk-ins; but we are on the list for Doctor #3. We are waiting outside as the waiting room is full of sick people.
And there is a small cruel part of me wondering if I smacked the side of his head if it would fix his ear.
Don't worry, I know it won't.
*sigh*

My New Drink...
Dear Folks,
Coupla new things, 1st off it is Sunday and my husband was supposed to go home today. However for the past 2 days he has been deaf in his right ear. So the airline recommended that he not fly, pay them a buttload more money to change his flight, and that we find an island doctor. So we have our plans for the next day or so....*sigh*
2nd thing, I invented a new drink. Wilkes named it the "Constipated Russian" and it is delicious!
Take one coffee cup, fill with ice. Add some cold-brewed coffee (my new favorite thing, seriously, google it--it has changed my entire opinion on coffee), then add some vanilla rum and some caramel baileys. Then top off with milk and more ice. Oh, the secret ingredient? 2 tsp of Benefiber. (Well, it's kinda like eating a vegetable.). Sure, the fiber is not required, but how else would it be a "Constipated Russian".
And thirdly, my Aunt and Uncle are on island (Yay!!) But they had a rough time getting out of Miami so we decided to meet up tomorrow instead. I can't wait to see them!!!!

I don't know...
Dear everyone. I haven't written lately, mainly because I have my husband in town and it is way more fun to spend time with him then time with my computer. I even turned in my timesheet a day late (I am going straight to accounting hell when I get back--hey, thats not a bad idea--we should lock people in trouble with accounting in a closet or something...waterboarding?) sorry, lost track there for a minute.
Anyway, everyone is asking, do you know if you are being shipped home? In truth, I have absolutely no idea. Neither does anyone else. Believe me, I have asked.
When (if) I find out, I will let everyone know. But for now, there is just no information. Some days it feels like I am here for the duration, some days, not so much.
The truly sucky part is I have absolutely no control over it. None at all. So I am just enjoying my time here day by day and really enjoying having my husband here. He is loving the water and does some snorkeling (and he free dives too!) almost daily. The dogs were thrilled to see him and everything is going great.
I love ya'll, and I will write more (and be funnier) when I am alone and bored. I get damned entertaining when I am bored. :)
-H.

Heather, the dumbass.
So today we went to Sandy Point. It is a stunningly stark and beautiful beach, the water is a little rough but still amazing. I swam, I read, and I did NOT wear sunscreen. Can anyone explain why I am this stupid? So, I am a little (lot!) red on my back. Tomorrow--sunscreen AND a shirt.
For those of you wondering, yes, I have taken a work day off to spend with my husband. It is going to make for a long 4 day week, but totally worth it. We are snorkeling again tomorrow--this time back to Buck Island.
Wear sunscreen! And don't tell my dermatologist!

Wilkes on island!
No matter how much kids irritate him, this patient man is a born teacher. Of course, the rum prolly helps. :)
Happy Saturday folks.

Lunch moment
So, I am sitting here in a trailer on a bench. The dude next to me is eating his lunch, a thermos full of fish and some bread. I'm eating a granola bar and a diet coke.
Dude.
Dude.

Dear Blog Readers,
I am sorry I didn't update you during my friend's visit, but in all honesty we were out having too much fun.
We took a ton of pictures, which I am hoping to have time to upload tonight. I did all sorts of touristy stuff and can't wait to do it again! We laughed, we drank, we snorkeled, we drank, we ate, we drank. It was big fun. Erin mentioned that she found my road a tad too bumpy for her taste, but I shall let her leave a comment about that. :)
It was relaxing, big fun, and a much needed break from work. I love you Erin!!!
