As it is my last week, there a few things I haven't got around to doing yet which I have allocated to a certain day of the week. This means I will be getting up earlier than normal in order to get it done before I start each day.
My first days task was to go to the Outlets and get Mana some Nikes. Rory, Sivv, and Dan came along too. We looked in a few shops before I ventured off on my own to Nike. It was the middle of the night at home but I was really worried I would choose a pair of shoes which Mana wouldn't
wear. The shop didn't have WiFi either so I had to go in and take a whole lot of photos, and then leave and walk until I could pick up WiFi from another shop, and call him in NZ in the middle of the night and get him to pick a pair. Easy enough, didn't take too long either. I also got myself a few new pairs of shoes while out- they are so cheap here.
While we were at the Outlets we heard that one of our kiwi friends had been termed in the morning. Dan and Sivv headed back to see her, but Rory and I made our way to Publix so that we could buy some KeyLime pie. This is a pie famous in Florida and I have been meaning to try it for months and months. It was delicious- made me extremely unwell due to my food intolerances, but in this circumstance it was worth it.

We got a few other groceries before getting the bus back to Vista.
I worked 6pm-00.45.
It was Gay Day at the park today. I had three particular scenarios occur tonight in relation to this event.

It was Gay Day at the park today. I had three particular scenarios occur tonight in relation to this event.
The majority of those in the park to celebrate this event were wearing red t-shirts. One group in particular had a fantastic design on their shirts, on the front it said 'Zip a Dee Doo Dah', and on the back it said 'Zip a Dee Gay'.
Anyway, back to my scenarios.
1) I was at merge and asked a couple to stand behind the white line on the ground. One of the men said to me, as he dangled his foot over the line, 'this line?'. 'What's going to happen if I step over it?', he asked as he continued to jump backwards and forwards over it. These guys were lovely and they weren't bothering me at all by doing this- some families can be smarmy with this type of thing, but they were just having a laugh. Anyway, I look straight at the man with a serious look on my face and say- if you do that once more sir I am going to have to call security. He was a little shocked, but with a cheeky smirk on his face he replied, 'Well...is he cute?'. We all had a good laugh!
2) I had a man leave his group of around 5 to come over and ask me a question. They were in need of some 'powder'. I wasn't sure what he meant so I had to ask further questions. Anyway, turned out they needed baby powder or something similar as one of the men in their group had extremely bad chaffing and was having great difficulty walking anywhere.
3) I had a man pull me over on the belt to alert me that Prince Eric was 'sporting wood' and it needed to be fixed. This has happened before, but they way this man took me aside from other guests to let me know cracked me up!
We had one man tell us to stop blowing bubbles with the bubble wand as he was allergic to them and it wasn't appropriate to be blowing them. We stopped, but after he walked off we said to each other- why didn't he just not walk over here and avoid them?
Another guest also alerted us to the fact that there was another teenage guest walking up to guests and asking for money. This is a MASSIVE no no in the park and co-ordinators and security responded. We had been told what the guy was wearing and low and behold, as I'm unloading guests -off he steps. I called through to the outside positions and let them know he was on his way out- so security got onto him quickly.
And my final tale for this night at work was a lady who had just sat down on her clam shell. She took her shoe off and shoved it under the nose of her husband sitting next to her. As they passed me I asked if she had just made him smell her shoe. Yes, she said with a proud smile on her face.
After work a few of us headed to McDonalds, which had been renamed as McClub to us. We all had a bite to eat and a good old chat. When I got dropped off home all the sprinklers were on. The appear to water the pathways- that concrete sure needs watering, and there is absolutely no way to avoid them as we have to go through the security check point to get in. So I arrived home drenched. Two swims in one day.
