Rain Rain Go Away

Hola!
Well, its been an interesting week in the rainforest. The sun came out twice this week, to which I had a freaking good time with. Went running for the first stint of sunshine that lasted an hour. The second stint was yesterday and it was all day mostly! People were smiling, there was no rain, it was mid 50s, people were having lunch outside, windows down, no other garb but sweatshirts and jeans. It was amazing!

I think I have Seasonal Affective Disorder, or something. This whole lack of sunshine has been making me feel extremely exhausted. I ordered a sun box, that light that you sit by for 30 minutes that pretends it sun without tanning you. In the meantime while that is shipping I broke down and went tanning the day before the sun came out after two weeks of rain. I have one more tan session I will use this week before my light comes.

One of my roomates also feels similar and she went tanning as well the same day I did. OUr other friend and roomate both thought we were on crack because we had so much energy that day...and it continues! I've been feeling pretty good after those ten minutes of fake and nasty uv rays in that tanning bed.

Interestingly I used to tan in those when I was in college, maybe thats why I have never felt this tired before. I never liked winter but I survived it in school because of my tanning I think.
I'm not a big fan of the tan beds, I don't think they are good for you and I don't want to be tan when its 40 degrees outside.

On another note went to this cool cafe, Sisters of the Road Cafe downtown. Its a buck and a quarter for a meal and there is a lot of homeless peeps that go. Its a cool place, I liked it. I felt like I was in a world that was so comfortable to me yet didn't fit. You ever have that happen to you?
Also, I'm going to Guatemala for a month this November to work with street kids and orphans and do building projects..just decided. Am pumped!
