Road Dog Diaries, the morning after

........ choices were made, stupid fun was had, nobody ended up in the pokey🎉. The night ended on a high note as we celebrated our last night all together as a Picker family in Delaware. Robbie took us all out for dinner and drinks. He showered us with love ❤️ The love was real and we shared as much of it as possible as our trip comes to an end.

This is the least incriminating photo I can show😬

I love my family, life, job and adventures. I’m thankful. Every day, even on the hard days, I’m thankful for these humans.

I’m paying for my choices today, as I should🥴😂 That’s all I can say. Today we film our last pick of this block. Tomorrow I have to film pick ups and get my Covid nose swab so I can board the flight to PR knowing I’m Covid free (I took a spit test yesterday as well).

I pack to head home to the island at 8am Friday morning. I can’t wait to lay in bed naked quarantining all day with my king, watch movies, spoil my small petting zoo of fur babies, and jump in the ocean 🌊

but first thing when I land I take yet another spit test and quarantine 48 hours till the results come back. No socialization for me till I know I’ve not brought germs home. By the time it’s all said and done, In 2 weeks I will have taken 7 Covid tests.

You can’t be too careful! I have done my best to make sure that I maintain 6 feet distance, wear a mask at all times unless I’m filming or eating, and to wash my hands every half hour or at every opportunity where there’s a sink. I’ve scrubbed every surface of each of the 10 hotel rooms we stayed with Lysol and soap and water upon entry, scrubbed them down again upon exit, I’ve realized how nasty hotels are. But I’m trying not to think about it because I need to keep my head in the game until this block is over. And I’m happy to say that each of the four Covid tests I have taken have come back negative. I feel like I am being as careful as I can possibly be out here on the road for myself and for everyone around me. I have realized that people in the states don’t like to wear facemasks. That scares me a little bit. I’ve also had the opportunity to remind myself of how beautiful this country is.

Wear your masks, I love you and want you to be safe💗

I hear the hurricane will make landfall as a cat 4. That’s a very serious situation. My heart is with everyone on the Gulf coast. Especially NOLA, we know how forgotten you were during Katrina and in Houston, where my daughter just landed for work. Fortunately she is with family. I’m actually praying, not sure to whome yet but I’m saying them prayers.

I was hoping the direct hit we got in PR as a tropical storm would have broken it up more. Please be safe! Head to higher ground and hunker down with your loved ones till it passes. Don’t go outside to check it out, that’s how folks get hurt. Think positive, send your intentions out into the atmosphere. I can’t hurt. My heart is with you💗
