My Memorial Day hike...

I think I'm going to go to Otter Falls. It'll be nice to get away by myself for a bit. I should stop by REI and pick up the map for the area, though; I need to be more careful when I'm by myself that I don't get lost.

(tip: at various points on the trail, turn around and look back the way you came. It's saved my butt a couple of times.)

Also, i need to remember an ankle brace, a pair of Tevas, and a small towel; it sounds like I might need to wade through a couple of streams.

I need the license plate number of the train that ran over me....

The Mariners won. Rah. I got my cool coworker Scott (who I'm very happy is going to be in my new group with me! He is a serious miracle worker.) to sit next to me and explain to me exactly what was going on. They use different rules than when i was a kid. Anyway, it was an amusing way to spend an afternoon. It could have been a *tidge* less humid, however.

Anyway. Surfed the crowd, came home, went to work out, came home, went to Trader Joe's, went to Safeway, came home, ate dinner. I walked from my workplace to the stadium--it SOUNDED like a good idea, but, um, owie tonight. The major problem with the weird stuff I have going on with my body is that I have no reserves--I have no second wind, no endorphins after working out, nothing. The moment I admit to fatigue is the moment the fatigue wins. So I drive myself relentlessly forward, knowing that to stop is to need to sleep for ages and ages.

Major suckage. I've been feeling it this week. i am all achey, and in a few minutes I will go take my vitamins, brush my teeth, and go to bed.

and my Curves is running an auction today. (we've been collecting "curves dollars" for going 3x a week and answering trivia questions.) I think I'm going to win some nice-smelling stress relief gel and hopefully a free consult with one of the naturopaths who run the place. That'll be nice to go get some free advice.

I do NOT need a milk glass egg plate. I do not. Really. I don't. But there's one at the antique shop around the corner for $20. And I make deviled eggs on a regular basis.

Dilemmas.

Night!
