I'm told I need to show vitals or people will start wondering. ;] I keep forgetting that although I update one journal, not everyone reads it. And sewing is about the only thing I've been doing besides working. So, this is one of those, "pardon me, I have nothing to say" posts. (thank you George Carlin)
Two days home sick and now I've lost my will to work. Work is so boring to me now. Not that I don't have plenty to do (though things have slowed to a manageable pace) I just really don't want to do any of it. Oh well, I guess that's why they call it work and not "tons-o-fun". Meh, what am I saying, I spent yesterday afternoon wandering between the [home] office and the living room trying to occupy my time. It's obviously not just work that's got me bored. I don't want to "do" anything, just sit and be and maybe sleep some (or a lot). Vacation on the way! 16 days until we leave, 15 days gone. Maybe that's what I'm resting up for.
So, I thought I had bronchitis, and now, I just don't know what it was. Seems 24 hours of sleep in two days and a bit of extra vitamin C helped though. No more congestion and no more feeling like I have a sore throat in my lungs. Good times.
I think we've got all but one hotel booked for our trip (and that would be Oklahoma City on the way back). Chris made his mass order of camping gear and I'll be doing the same when I get home. Contemplating getting a new pack for the trip. Couldn't hurt, and I do need one, just another $50 to add to the pile of money all this is costing. Keep having to remind myself the gear is an investment (at least it better be!). I'm basically buying a backpacking wardrobe. Three layers for 13K peaks in Colorado and light breathable stuff for Utah, have to prepare for rain of course as well. This is going to be an interesting trip to pack for. The thought crossed my mind to make a few trips to a tanning bed to keep from burning in Utah. Then I had to slap myself. Really hard! People looked at me. heh, no not really.
Think I'm going to start training for the trip on the Land Trust trail on 4 mile post. It's a good rough ascent, but not too long. Do that everyday after work and I should be good to go. heh, stuff some cotton balls in my sinuses for the training and I'll almost have a simulation of what it's like to breathe and exercise in Colorado. hmm, I don't know, an anvil on the chest is more like it. I just can't do the jogging in the morning thing and admire Chris for being able to. I think the words "night owl" are starting to mean something to him though.
Man, when did I get so boring all of the sudden? I know, what's this all of the sudden crap? But you know what, I'm not here to fucking amuse you.
A good chunk of people I know are headed to Nashville tomorrow for STS9 and Karl D, et al. I'd be disappointed that we're not going, if we didn't have tix to see STS9 at Red Rocks in 17 days. I'm ignoring the Trey Anastasio part of the bill. I've heard not good things about his new project, but that doesn't mean I'm not expecting a good show. I'm just more excited about STS9. And even more excited about seeing a show at Red Rocks. Besides, my red rock I picked up last time we went through Morrison, CO needs a friend. That time, kids had their fingers in the air looking for a miracle to a sold out 311/Pennywise show (Sept. '00). Still baffles me that 311 sold out Red Rocks.
But I digress [as usual]. . . safe travels and fun times to those going. Zach gets to go, and that's always good. He love the music and loves to shake his groove thang. And that's really cute from a four year old. Add 20 years and a metric shit ton of alcohol and it's not so cute anymore.
