Epic Fail

I've strayed with writing blog posts this last month or so. I apologize, but don't worry, I have a reason excuse for it.

The short version involves flights getting delayed over two days and me sprinting from one end of the Miami airport to the other and just barely making my flight to Rio on time. Sometime between waiting in Atlanta to get flown to Miami, my cell phone broke. The short version also includes Delta losing my luggage and me having to get put on a different boat until my luggage arrived because my original boat was leaving the night I got there. Five days wearing the same clothes and washing my underwear in a sink I can handle, but a whole month? Nope. Not going to happen.

New Boat spent most of its time in Rio, although we did go out for 15 days and hung out by an oil rig before being told we weren't actually needed. New boat also had no internet to speak of except for on the bridge and even then the internet was probably slower than dial-up. Once my "permanent" boat got back to Rio I was transferred, and I figured I'd be able to update the ol' blogaroo. No such luck. As with everything else this hitch, something had to go wrong. Between the internet dying and the three hours of sleep I've been getting, updating the blog kind of got put on the back burner.

I was going to put a few hilarious photos that include Grumpy Cat, since Grumpy Cat is my spirit animal for this hitch but the hideously slow internet wouldn't allow me to. Just like it won't allow me to buy yarn right now. How am I supposed to feed my addiction, Internet Connection, if you won't let me get on Etsy?
