Greetings from the plateau of crankiness!!!
My hiking "passport" *STILL* hasn't arrived, so my daytrip for tomorrow is not happening. I'm super-grumpy about it. My woohoo yesterday would have been that I've been making progress getting ready for the road trip mid-march, got most of my lightweight (physically,) yet magically warm layer clothes, and my plan is pretty solid now... but it's hard to be excited about it when I'm stuck waiting for the book that should have been here by now. I was really psyched to go tomorrow
But if I don't have the passport, I can't get it validated, and then it "doesn't count." (I'm not driving 1.5 hours and hiking 6.3 miles for it not to count... I'm too lazy for that!!!)
And this week I lost a whopping 3 ounces. It's still a loss, and not a gain, and maybe (just maybe) I've started to replace a little bit of fat with muscle, but I'm too cranky about not adventuring tomorrow to care.
Now, obviously, I'm overreacting...The trail is not going anywhere, the weather tomorrow wasn't predicted to be the best, anyway, etc... but logic has no place here, I want my adventure!!!! WAAAAaaaahhhh!!!
(But thanks so much to 4Mickeys for hosting this month... it made the miserable winter a little more bearable to remember that it's summer somewhere! And thanks Pollyanna mom for picking up next month!)
