What's Next?

I promised to set out my feelings and what my future plans will be about a week ago. It has taken me this long to actually feel like writing anything. The disappointment in this aborted trip has been very bitter and the storm in my mind has been a raging force that won't be conquered for a while. It will take a some time for the pain to subside.

What a First Day!

Day 1
20 Miles

Today was supposed to start at 6:15, getting out early enough to avoid some of the heat. Right out of the bat, I started with a total melt down. Three things went wrong. First I couldn't find my Ipod with all my music. I had the earphones, but not the pod. Then I found that we had forgotten to put the velcro on my shoes to attach the dirty girl gaiters. And I did not have a comb or my cable to recharge my hotspot. Aaargh!! Mark suggested we go get a bite to eat and while doing that, we could think about what to do.

Trying to Relax

GD Puppy "Italy"

So here I am, 2 more days until I leave home for 5 1/2 months. What could be more relaxing than posting cute puppy pictures!
