Vaca Wrap-Up

Orlando wrap-up: We visited Outdoor World at the Festival Bay Mall to get Papa some sandals for father’s day. The mall, other than housing Ron Jon’s and Vans Skate Park, is eerily empty. While there we did get to see these Steve Madden shoes (pic) with their Long Island City (shout out!) flagship address printed in them and these unnecessary quotation marks used around the word “Gelati” (pic). lol. We took a few walks through the neighborhood with Pup and saw shooting on the lake for what I think was a Florida Hospital commercial. We just can’t get away from film production! The crew parked across from Nana and Papa’s in the front yard of what Michael agrees is the most exciting addition to the neighborhood in a while, a Russian model. I think she’s Russian, close enough. I can’t remember her name either, ha. Svetlana we’ll call her gave me a high class hooker vibe… just saying. Saturday Jen, Jackie, John, Alisa, Michael and I went to Universal’s Islands of Adventure. We had a good time, running from ride to ride, and as much as I hate to admit it, the new Harry Potter land was pretty cool. Sunday we said our goodbyes and headed back to NYC. Pup behaved on the plane, but somehow came home with a few fleas. I don’t think Rinny has them… weird.


One good thing about me being in school is that I have built in breaks between semesters that force me to take some time off and give my poor brain a rest. Jen went back to work Monday but I’m just chill’n because for some reason I thought I started back to school today or tomorrow. It turns out we don’t start class until Thursday and clinic work until Friday. I’m not scheduled for any shifts at work until Saturday night so I’m doing all the chores, running errands, and might pick up a shift until the grind begins again next week.

Today I made the test-run trip out to the Brooklyn PT clinic I’ll be working in a few times a week starting Friday. It took a little over an hour, door to door, because of ongoing G and F train construction which I’m not happy about. What can I do though? It’s too hot to bike all the way in professional clothes, busing would take longer, and a cab would cost too much. Luckily this outpatient assignment is only for 6 to 8 weeks.
