The best laid plans

We had high hopes for this past Memorial Day Weekend. Even better, we had a permit for a four day backpacking trip into Dinkey Lakes. But then M started to feel poorly....

She went to the doctor on Thursday, and was told she had a virus that's "going around" and would take about two weeks to disappear.

Loaded with medicines and certain amount of unrealistic hope, we headed to our cabin on Friday afternoon. By Saturday, M was feeling worse, and we scrapped our plans and our permit. By Monday morning she felt so rotten that we simply came home early and let her sleep away the rest of the day in her own bed.

She's now feeling better, thank goodness.

And we're making plans for another trip soon.
