Zumba Schedule Update

Cynthia added a few more classes to her summer Zumba schedule, so I thought I would spread the word. Zumba at Villa Olga by the pool, Monday and Friday at 5:30 pm and Sunday at 11:30 am. Since this is in Frenchtown, where we practically live since Jay works there and we usually go directly to Hook, Line and Sinker, I'll be going to this class getting my Zumba on! Come join us!

Schneider Regional Medical Center

I finally got to see the hospital on St. Thomas. We've been here over three years and haven't had to visit it, thankfully. But while a friend was visiting last week she slipped and broke her wrist. We went on a Saturday morning and there was no one in the waiting room. We were hoping there was an urgent care vs going to the ER but we didn't see one. But as it worked out, they took her right back (I got to go back with her) and got an X-ray. The ER doctor was going to splint it but after my friend, who is an RN, started asking some questions, they called in the on-call Orthopedic. He took a look, gave her a painful shot in the wrist, reset it and splint it. He did another X-ray and they both felt pretty good about how it turned out. He said she may need surgery later but it just depended on how it healed. She got copies of the X-rays to take home and we were on our way. I have to say it was a pretty pleasant experience. Everyone was really nice, very professional and the hospital equipment was top notch. My friend gave it thumbs up (only one though since the other was casted lol). Since going back stateside, she had it reexamined and the doctor said the STT doctor did an excellent job and it looks like she won't need surgery. She'll be casted for six weeks, which is a bummer, but no surgery.

overall, was a very good experience. I wanted to share that so everyone knows you don't have to be worried about going to the ER if something happens while on island.

Rain, Rain, Rain

We have had more rain in the last month then I've ever seen. Now you know I've only been here a few years but still. It's been pretty wet. Jay was off this past weekend so we just sat at the house and pretty much did nothing. We needed it so I guess it was a good weekend to rain. We had thought about going out on the boat, possibly to Culebra. But the weather didn't agree. The seas have been so flat due to no wind, so we thought we could finally make it over to Culebra in the Spanish Virgins. But that didn't happen, maybe one of these days.

So it was a nice relaxing, restful weekend. Hope everyone enjoyed theirs. Here's to Monday and the first week I've had to work straight five days since April :-)

Blogger not working

Ok, I have done some posts and they are not showing up on the blog. Not sure what is going on with blogger. They have had some issues these last few weeks. I have to keep doing the posts manually instead of from my phone. :-(

New Zumba classes

If  you're into Zumba and you happen to be on island, here is the class schedule for my friend Cynthia. Her classes are fun and you really get a great workout! I am a zumba addic and I can't get enough of it lol

Enjoy!!

TGIF! Been a long week, been a long month actually. We are really ready for a chill weekend. Even though May was busy with visitors, travels, and rental property work, we really had a great time with all our friends that visited. Give us a weekend off for rest and we'll be ready to do it again :-)

June and July will be really busy for Jay. CYOA is pretty much booked solid which is great for the business, just means a lot of weekends for Jay for boat turn arounds. August they start getting the boats ready for Puerto Rico and then September he'll finally get some time off to rest.

June 1 was the official start of the hurricane season. So that means it's time to check the hurricane kit and restock supplies. Water, can goods, batteries, gas for the generator, lighters, propane for the grill, cash, you get the idea. Sounds like a big trip to cost u less is in my future.

June 1 also started my recommitment to Jenny Craig and Zumba. I haven't been sticking to the program with all my travels and visitors so it's time to get back to business. I actually didn't gain much back with all my craziness, only a couple pounds, which really surprised me. But need to get back on track so I can reach my Jenny goal. I lost 35 lbs so far, which I actually reached last November and have just maintained since then. So I think that's pretty good. I feel great and that's what matters, right :-)

So everyone have a great weekend!
