Welcome to Chaos !!

I am back home in Kenai. Since I didn't sleep last night, packed and caught the 9 am flight from Kodiak, via Anchorage then Kenai, I am super tired now. My baby Chhaya is sleeping stretched out and happy next to me. I am going to go to sleep myself soon.
More pics from my Kodiak adventure tomorrow. That feels secondary at the moment.
My thoughts are with the people that got shot down earlier today on the Malaysian Airways plane that crashed in Ukraine. I don't understand this. I feel so bad for the victims and their families. Every time something similar like this happens I think about how their last moments were. Did they know? Were they scared? Sad? Oblivious? The passengers and crew on that flight that got shot down occupy my thoughts today. It's just wrong. I don't get this. Why?
I flew out of Schiphol myself last month, twice. The thought that the plane you are on might get shot down en route didn't even cross my mind. I called my Mom to check with her what they say in Sweden about this tragedy. The stories differ there and here in the US. There is no excuse for this. I'm sad. I don't like this world right now.

Yesterday evening we got an unexpected visit from the Coast Guard (yes, I'm on a boat) they barged in clad in full uniform with all kinds of weapons hanging from their belts and one of them even had a machine rifle of some sort out. I think it was like 7 or 8 of them.
Routine check to make sure the vessel had all the appropriate safety regulations on board, like life jackets and stuff like that. Completely normal you know. Plus we all had to show our identifications, I'm glad I'm not an illegal! It would had been deportation time otherwise perhaps. Or not. So that was quite interesting. Just one more interesting experience.
I did get some sun yesterday but not much, planning on laying out on upper deck today because we are having another beautiful day here.





I saw this eagle today on my walk into town. The water here is crystal clear too. Again, Kodiak Island is a gorgeous place!

I have been going to Monk's Rock almost every day to eat and Harborside for my latte and some WiFi. I love Monk's Rock! They have the borscht and some yummy veggie sandwiches and pastries.....so my kind of place. If you are craving exceptionally delicious sushi, try Powerhouse - that's what all the locals say. And the staff at Monk's Rock are super friendly too, the cashier girl knows me by name and has been to Poland several times.





You can buy a nice coffee mug here and sweatshirt and t-shirts.



The place is full of Russian icon saints and holy water, there is even a Saint Tatiana. I did not know that until the other day.





It's soooooo nice outside, nicest day so far. The sun is out and the sky is blue. I think I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon tanning and relaxing.

At work here I get asked if I had the chance to see any of Kodiak. Well, I am here to work and I work until about 4 am, go to sleep by 5 and wake up around noon. Sure I do things in the daytime, like eat, get my latte and make sure the blog is updated (which is taking longer than usual because the WiFi is painfully slow). I have actually visited Kodiak Island once before.....in July 2010. Me and Chhaya took the ferry over and spent a few days here, I took my car and we explored the island. Kodiak Island is also called The Emerald Isle. It is absolutely beautiful here on a nice day, very lush and green.....healthy. The ocean is amazing and the wildlife abundant. There are no moose on Kodiak but plenty of deer and of course the world famous Kodiak brown bear. I am very happy to have seen Kodiak Island, that was on my list of places to visit when I first got to Alaska. I did go to Northend Park yesterday to enjoy nature.









And I looked in my archives and found this four year old pic that I took at the ferry heading for Kodiak.

Just some random pics from the other night at the Wild Alaskan.



I like these lights. I wish I had somebody with me (a co worker dancer friend) that could take the pics for me, there are lots of really cool photo opportunities and I have many ideas but I am limited to selfies and using the 10 second timer function on the selfie machine (cell phone).



Crawling out of my den.

It started out raining today but here I am sitting at Harborside with my latte and it's a nice day out. I will be here a few more days and then go back home to Kenai and enjoy being with Chhaya and maybe go camping next week. Chhaya wants to go canoeing.
I don't really have much to say, feeling a bit tired. I think I am going to go for a walk and enjoy nature for a while before work tonight......recharge my body with fresh air.







Oh.....I just remembered something from last night. There were a few girls sitting around the stage and many times when girls (civilians) sit around the stage in a strip club they want to be funny and put dollar bills behind their ears, in their cleavage and in between their legs and want us to dive in and pluck the dollars off them while their male companions watch.
The fake lesbian "show". Sometimes I participate and other times I am not in the mood.
Well, there were two girls at the stage last night and one of them had her boyfriend next to her. I have to say that they were a really good looking couple, I did my little thing for the girlfriend, she smelled good and was fun. Then they wanted their other friend to be part of the action too......so they put a few dollars in between her legs, she had jeans on. Keep in mind, this is all like a fun and easygoing pretend show. I don't make out with strangers or actually stick my fingers or tongue into any openings. (In case you are confused to how this works.) Well, this girl REEKED down there. It was really bad. How anyone can walk out of the house and go out for the night smelling like that in their crotch area is incomprehensible to me. If I had an odor like that down below I would go and see the doctor. I feel bad for her boyfriend if she has one. Not even Summers Eve would work on that. Besides....if you need to spray yourself down with Summers Eve to mask any odors and keep your crotch stank at bay.....you do need to see the doctor. I have never used Summers Eve or any of those VAGINE deodorants. If it's healthy and clean, it is. Otherwise Planned Parenthood can help you with your intimate issues.
