Work is still going smoothly with no real complaints. Things are at a pace that is almost a tad slow for me but I'm doing other things with my time. Researching diagnosis, taking the time to really prep for people I'm working with, and doing some education.
This past weekend, Joe and I took Stevie out for the weekend. We didn't drive off far, it was just a regular weekend but it is amazing how camping and being out in nature changes one's mood. After last week I was fine, wasn't overly stressed or anything along those lines. We go out camping and it's like my work is a world away, although we just drove 2 hours away! We spend a full day hiking on Saturday and it is confirmed...I did something to my knee :( I have an appointment already scheduled so we will see what is going on with that! Can't be restricted to only 4 mile hikes! Not here in Alaska!
The trail we chose to go on is actually around 16 miles or so, an out and back. You hike 8 miles out to a glacier and then come back. We made it to almost 4 miles. So we did a total of around 8. We attempted to make it to the 4 mile marker but we were thwarted by marshy land we could not navigate through or around. So we turned around, found a clearing, and took a power nap before heading back to Stevie. Not a lot of food traffic on the hike so it was pretty low key and relaxing.
Getting back to Stevie we relaxed with some drinks and grilled some cheeseburgers. We heading home early on Sunday and it worked out great because we got back before the other RVs, so no line to dump, and we had the day to get ready for the week ahead!
