Nap Day

Sorry for the less than stellar blogging today. However, I did get you the story of Fred, so that should answer some questions.
Interestingly enough, I did not get to go skiing today. For the first time I woke up with the upset tummy, ache body....part of this chemo thing. Talk about delayed reactions. Anyway, by the time I got myself sorted out, I had missed out on quite a bit of the day. It wasn't unproductive though. I watched a movie, I blogged, badly, I read a little, I got over the nausea rather quickly, but I was tired for the rest of the day.
Carol, Katrina and the boys went skiing and Mom and Dad went cross country shopping. They all seemed to have good days to. Marta, Steve, John, Chuck and Drew arrived tonight and we spent some time trying to negotiate car arrangements for the morning. Not as easy as you might think. We have shoppers, non-skiiers who admit that they are non-skiiers, non-skiiers who pretend that they are still skiiers, but in actuality hang out in the lodge drinking and watching the skiiers, and then two different groups of skiiers with different ski levels. Those who need to rent. Those who need ski slow because they don't ski often, those who don't ski all that well but like to pretend they do by going as fast as they can, those who like to follow those going as fast as they can. ...I think I am starting to ramble.
I was actually hoping that I would be able to ski Outer Limits this year. This is probably not my year though. Damn. And I was so looking forward to getting a poster that said, "I skiied Outer Limits". However, I think that if I were to attempt it, my mother might shoot me. She is already giving me instructions about who I can sit next to in the lodge. "If they look like they have a cold you should avoid them. And small children, stay away from them because they are always sick. And their parents, the parents of the children get just as sick. Don't forget to wash your hands alot. .." You get the idea. I'll let you all know how it goes. Hey, if I'm really shaky on the mountain then tomorrow that may make for a very funny post. I'll fill you in on all the details. - Elizabeth
