ismoWe're spending a few days by the Lake to celebrate our anniversary. It was a beautiful day, and started off well with a sandwich by the river, in one of our favorite spots. After that, there were mixed results. I've been fearful that when I tried to hike around in the woods for the first time since last fall, I wouldn't be able to. Sure enough, we set off on a route that would have been pretty normal in previous years, but it was hard going for me, especially the steeper slopes. I wanted badly to walk all the way over to the Lake, but I had to turn back and take a shortcut back to the road. I just couldn't do it. I am deeply distressed by this. We drove to the beach and sat on the sand for awhile until I could muster the wherewithal to at least cool my feet in the still-icy waves. The air temperature was 64, the water temperature in the low 50s, so even I did not feel much inclined to go in. That didn't do much for my state of mind, either. This is one of my favorite places on earth, but I'm still in a funk. This winter took a lot out of me, and I wonder if I'll ever get it back. : (
We saw a turkey and a hawk really close up, and the new moon in a streaky post-sunset sky as we took a little extra stroll in town. The AC unit in our room was out of whack and made a truly HORRIBLE clangor when it was turned on, so we had to sit around for a long time waiting for the maintenance man to fix it. He earned our eternal gratitude by finding some spare parts and making it work. Whoever was in the room before us had turned it to "high heat" and the room was stifling, WTF?! So we really needed the unit to work, and now it does. Tomorrow it's suppose to rain all day, so maybe I'll hibernate at the local bookstore long enough to raise my spirits, but I don't know . . . .
