Roatan Roundup: Month 37

Well, I’ve made it past the three year mark and things just keep rolling along, so here we are recapping month 37 on this little Caribbean island.


What’s new?

I’ve been diving here and there, I’ve been taking trips with my friends to explore new places on Roatan above and below the water, and I’ve been writing A TON. You’ll see below in the ‘Posts From This Month’ section that I think I’ve broken my record. I kind of feel like they should count for double too, because either a Windows 10 upgrade or Roatan’s garbage electrical supply has turned my laptop into a brick, and I have been using my netbook for everything until my new laptop arrives on the island next week. Who invented netbooks anyway? Are they jokes? I feel like I’m time traveling back to 2002-era computers and internet… like, I type in a search term on Google and then I go make coffee and breakfast and come back and the results are just popping up. Trust me when I tell you that the posts this month, and everything else you see me doing on social media has taught me patience and restraint and I think I deserve a medal since I haven’t thrown this thing through the wall yet. That being said, I’ve earned a break from this crappy computer and the next time you’ll hear from me will be whenever the new one gets here!

Let’s get on with the roundup!

This part of the roundup is always my favorite. This month I’ve been mind-blown by this Ikea Concept Kitchen 2025 table… can it be 2025 already please? TAKE MY MONEY.
