Hi all,
I just found out that they have wireless in the lobby, so I thought that I would check in for a minute. We usually cook out, but some friends took us out for dinner, so I have a few minutes.
We camped the first night and it rained all night long. We were planning on camping a second night, but I just couldn't bear to try to sleep and deal with all of the wet stuff. It has rained every day except today, but we are still having fun. I did GS standing legs only before we left, then we hiked 5 miles on Wed. and 6 yesterday, plus rock/boulder hopped/climbed a long stretch of a really cool creek that has a 125ft waterfall. My working out really came in handy and I was able to keep pace with the kids. If I didn't have the upper body srength, I wouldn't have been able to. Today is my rest day, and I may run tomorrow morning.
Weight seems to have fallen off in the last few days, which isn't good. I have realized how much snacking that I was doing at home.
Things with my FIL are not good physically nor care wise. It seems that no one wants to take care of him. It may end up being us. He still has the blood clot which could break off and kill him and his bladder is still bleeding. DH is beside himself; 5 silbings and no one wants to do anything.
Wendy - My deepest condolences for FIL and you and your family. It was probably a blessing.
Nicole - I'm so sorry things are rough. I hope that it is not with DH, I couldn't seem to find out what the cause is. I had problems with DH for years, it was no fun. I tend to internalize problems too. It's not good. Your pictures look great. Continue to take care of yourself.
Annointed - Tatoos huh? I'd never get one because I HATE needles.
Traci - Sounds like you are taking a recovery week too. I slept 12 hours Tuesday night. I think I needed a break.
Cheryl - Sorry about DS. DS's friend had that happen and they did a horrible job of setting the front teeth; root canals too. I hope your situation is better.
Sandra, Debra, Swifty, Laurie, and anyone I missed, have a great weekend. I'll be home on Sunday.
