These little flowers live right outside my guest bedroom window.  Makes you want to visit, doesn't it?  And right down the street you can find fresh squeezed orange juice and have a reggaeton dance party while you wait.

I highlight these things because they are whimsical and lovely, and they remind me that even though I didn't have water for a week, its all worth it.  Not having water was terrible.  I couldn't shower, I couldn't cook, I couldn't flush...yeah.  Adding to the nonsense is my latest research course for grad school that seems determined to drag me into a deep hole of dissertation depression.  Things have been a bit dark around here.

I know that I'm being dramatic, but I've finally had a hot shower, so I can laugh about it now.  The water- not the dissertation.
