I'm a woman. I can drive. On both sides of the road.

Driving on the left hand side of the road, for a left supremist like myself, is fantastic! I got my first chance the other night after a lovely supper at my boss' friend's house. It was dark. It was a gravel road. I nailed it! Score one for female drivers everywhere. Ladies, if you are counting, we are now nearing positive numbers. I do what I can for our fragile sex.

I have also had multiple opportunities to swim in the fantastically salt ocean. I still can't get over how salty it is. Today I went snorking at Goat Island Marine Reserve. The reserve is about a 30 minute walk from my house and is uphill as much as possible. Regardless, it's a walk I thoroughly enjoy. While snorking, I saw Snappers, fishes of unknown names, and a ton of jellyfish. I petted 4 jellyfish (well I touched 4 and had a massive panic attack each time) and had the opportunity to touch many more. However, I was totally not sure if they were poisonous, ouchy, or just generally nontouchable so I avoided them as much as physically possible. Which! It turns out, is difficult to do when the tide is going out and they all end up at the waters edge. In the end, I found out that that particular kind of jelly fish is quite harmless and my panic was completely... stupid.

Other than relaxing, swimming, and tanning, I am still working on renovating the bathroom. We were waiting for the plumber to show up and change the piping (pipeing?, who knows, who cares) but he got sick so we decided to do it ourselves. Thus far we are two woman conquering a bathroom with little to no problems. I must say, it's freaking awesome. I've sanded, cut, replaced, filled, hacked, and just about every other carpentry and plumber related adverb out there. It's really coming along and I'm having a ton of fun. I think a career change maybe be in order. I'm thinking I'll be a travelling plumber and just go around the world fixing stuff and swimming and tanning and fixing more stuff. Yes? Yes!

Hmmmmmmmmmm, well that was a ridiculously short update... but I think it covers the basics. Good driver, great swimmer, rockin' tan getter, superb plumber, and killer traveller. Adjectives away!

Continue in my shoes women of the world.
