Typical- that’s what I seem on the outside. Live in Seattle, happily married in my 30s, have a toddler and 2 mixed labs. They’re great. All of them. The spouse, the daughter, and despite the way I can swear like a sailor with the voice of Bane at them, even the dogs are good dogs. So what is the focus of the blog? I suppose I’m not so sure and perhaps it’ll evolve into a central theme that is not yet there.
Today we went on a hike. All but the spouse, who’s at work. A
hike we did not finish. This is a first as far as I can remember. I can be
miserable, hangry, and everything you don’t want to hike with and I’ll still
push to the end and back. I enjoy being outside for the sake of being outside.
Not today, not today. The heat won, the hot disgusting long hair on the back of
my neck won, the lung capacity of walking pneumonia (undiagnosed but sure feels
like it) won, the dry dust, kicked up by own two feet into my mouth-breathing
self, won, the runny snot that would not let up no matter how much I sniffled
won. What an uncomfortable hike! An understatement. I might be the first person
to have asked “How much further?” when heading down toward the car instead of
on my way up. But did my daughter enjoy it? I suppose she did, and so did
K&K, our labs. They’re zonked now. Everyone is napping as I look at how
much cleaning needs to be done. Obviously, I’m not doing it. But I did clean the
tub while I was taking a shower. That should count on our chore list. Check one
for me.
