More Random Musings

Well I survived trampolining but only just, and Jen managed to do something to her neck so she's really sore, and our coach Mark was so tired from all the other stuff he's got going on that we called it a day a half hour earlier than usual so we could all go home and sleep. And wouldn't you know it? I slept like a log on Wednesday night but last night, not so much. By 9:30pm last night it was all I could do to drag my butt around the house, so I gave up and went to bed. I was so tired I couldn't even read! And then when I did fall asleep, I was treated to all sorts of fun nightmares until I finally kicked off the blankets around 2am and sat up, gasping. I didn't get back to sleep again for a couple of hours. When I finally did get up this morning, I was shocked to discover it was almost 10am!! It's almost unheard of for me to sleep that late. Gah.

Apparently Jen also had nightmares last night, so we figure we'll blame the pasta bake we had for dinner and leave it at that. There really was no other reason for us to both have such a restless night.

I did have a busy day yesterday. I'm now in the process of buying all the last-minute stuff I want to bring home with me. Hopefully I'll actually have room in my bags! The purchase of the day was a hat. Not just any hat, either, it's an Aussie bush hat. I've wanted one of these since I first saw them back in September. It's made of kangaroo leather and is really beautiful - the leather has lots of "character" and isn't perfectly smooth. And yes, I got the one with the strip of crocodile skin and teeth on it. Frighteningly, it looks really really good on me! Ha ha! So no, you can't call me "Crocodile Dundee", but the hat will sure go well with my "Dragon" persona!

This afternoon Jen and I are heading off to camp with the Vermont Guides, and won't be back until Sunday afternoon. The weather forecast isn't looking too promising - rain and drizzle and temperature lows in the 12-14C range. (I'm gonna freeze.) Wish us luck! I'll let you know how it went on Sunday...
