Not much to report this week in the way of my Invisalign, but life does indeed go on! I ended up calling the orthodontist to see what was up with an appointment they had texted me about that I thought was canceled. They then officially canceled it and said the trays are still being made! Ugh! But she told me I should hear back in about a week, which is pretty much what I was expecting. So hopefully next week I will have more braces-related info!
Still, all this waiting is starting to be a bummer. I did pass the time over the weekend on a mini vacation in Cape Cod, complete with several servings of chili and a sunburn.
It was pretty fun, even though we usually go in June when it's way less crowded. The one plus of going so late in the summer is that the water temperature is actually somewhat bearable. I rode a boogie board on the waves for hours even while being deathly afraid of a Great White Shark coming up behind me and taking my foot. We made sure to stay near crowds of people in the water because that makes shark less likely to bite you by accident, but that also meant me nearly running over a few children as I headed to shore.
We also (we being me and my sister Susie) got hit on by some 40 year old, and he thought we wouldn't dance with him because we were too scared. While in reality we actually just have boyfriends and some sort of standards (he could be old enough to be my dad), we let him think what he wanted. Of course since that conversation we have started singing the American Horror Story theme song whenever we have to face something kind of scary or different. Like swimming in the deep water or sharks or...dancing with some bro at the shitty bar down the street. #areyouscared
It's kind of amazing that even at 22 years old I can't help but scream with joy as I go up and over a big wave and take it all the way to the shore. My mom commented on how it felt like all the moms at the beach were looking at us and secretly judging us (they probably weren't) but I couldn't find it in myself to care too much. We stayed in the water for 2 hours, which I don't think I've done for at least a few years. It was nice to forget about all my dumb worries for a little while and replace them with the worry of getting eaten by sharks.
That sounds like a joke, but there really have been several shark sightings on beaches in Cape Cod over the last few years. We also went to a lake near our hotel and put goggles on to look at the tiny fish swimming around our feet. There was a point in the lake where there was a sudden drop into darkness and we all tried to swim over it but I panicked every single time we got too close and had to turn around. Besides the fact that there could be unknown giant lake fish in the depths, I'm pretty sure Friday the 13th's Jason was hiding down there too.

Of course one of my favorite things to do in the ocean is playing a game we like to call "don't look". You lay on your boogie board and face forward, waiting for a giant wave to crash over you. It's sort of terrifying. And by sort of I mean very.
I have to say I am extremely exhausted from doing so many exercise-y things and mostly not sleeping for a few days (hotel sheets are too scratchy). I'm glad I went, though. It was just really nice to get away from Connecticut for a minute, especially because it was like 100 degrees here while we were gone! WHEW.
Anyway, that's all I have for this week. I guess I'd rather keep this blog consistently updated rather than waiting 2 more weeks for something to write about. Hopefully this has been enough to tide my 4 readers over. And I'm hoping this time next week I'll finally be wearing my trays! Ahh!
Bye for now!
