Internet is back up – finally. It has been down since Saturday evening. I didn’t realize how addicted to it I have become.
I went into town this morning to check email as I hadn’t been able to check it for several days. Nothing urgent but I felt better checking on it. Did a quick check on Facebook to see if anything had happened. A friend had a horseback riding accident and was in the hospital for a week. But nothing else seemed urgent.
I’m not sure much happened over the last couple of days. We have been enjoying the company of our friends. We took a quiet day on Sunday and did a short hike around camp. Monday afternoon we went into RMNP and went up Fall River Road. We hiked at the rock cut and made a couple of other stops. It was a beautiful day for a drive through the mountains.
I fixed hamburger soup in the crock pot before we left and then fixed beer bread to go with it when we got home. Make for a quick dinner. We were all hungry after being out in the mountain air all day.
Today we have hung around the cabin and we all took a nap. Jim and I walked to both of his brother’s cabins this afternoon to deliver a fresh tomato our guests brought from KS. It was about a 2.5 mile hike. Felt good to get out and stretch my legs. I was breathing hard coming up the hill today.
Our guests are leaving in the morning. Jim’s brothers are both leaving Saturday. I can’t believe we will be heading home a week from tomorrow. The time has gone way too fast. It will be weird not having people here that I know to visit with. It has made the time here much more enjoyable to have friends and family here.
We are having Jim’s brothers and families up for dinner Friday night so they don’t have to cook on their last night here. I think we are going to get a ham to fix and I have a bunch of potatoes that need used up so I will make scalloped potatoes. It will be an easy dinner to fix.
I haven’t been sleeping well the last couple of nights. I think it was the decongestants that turned from making me sleepy to wiring me. I haven’t taken any today so have been plugged up but am hoping I can sleep good tonight. I have to pick my poison – sleep or breathing.
I’m grateful the internet came back so I can do my volunteer shift on the Crisis Line tomorrow night. I might check tonight to see if they need some extra help. For some reason it has been busier lately and they have more texters than counselors. Since I took a nap today I can stay up late tonight.
Grateful for the internet coming back, grateful for the hike we took around camp today, and grateful for the time I have had with our friends and family.
