The Woods Are Lovely





The woods are lovely, dark, and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep -Robert Frost.

A few years ago I went white water rafting. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I was excited to try. My knuckles were white from gripping the side so hard as we approached the first rapid. But, wow what an exhilarating rush. I found myself wishing the rapids were bigger and stronger.
We stopped midway for a picnic lunch and it was so tranquil.The area was not accessible by foot and  it felt serene to be part of the experience. As I ate my lunch I watched an eagle flying above and watched a black bear and its cub upstream fishing. I felt so blessed to of experienced this.
The afternoon rapids were bigger and stronger. So, I got what I wished for. My butt however suffered the consequences the next day for being bounced up and down for hours.





Today I attempted to have a couple of hours relaxation and Anna time. I went to the beauty salon to have a manicure and pedicure. Its my day off and my boss phones me not once, not twice, but four times. That's what I get for getting my phone fixed. I haven't been able to access anything on it for four days after an update glitch. Maybe getting rid of the phone is the answer to rest and relaxation.

Advice of the day. Do not take a Diuretic before going to bed.
I thought my ankles were a bit puffy last night. So, I had a brainstorm to take a diuretic to get rid of the fluid. What an idiot I am I spent all night running to the bathroom to pee.So, this morning I have skinny ankles and heavy eyes from no sleep.
