The good, the bad, and the hurty

This weekend was sooooo busy and fun and unhappy. It was like taking 15 different aspects of my life and stuff them into one weekend all crammy like.

Friday my sis and mom took another piece of furniture out of the house. Yippie skippie. The house still looks like the pooplins though. I need to get it together. I still can't figure out why the more packing I do the messier it gets. However, Saturday we did get the bed pulled apart. That was such a major undertaking. Almost every piece required both of us. In the end though, it all worked out okay.

Velvet has still been having her "poopy" moments under the bed. After we pulled the one book tower out of the corner and moved it into the living room, we decided to just put the mattresses on the floor. It makes sense, Vel can't go underneath to leave carpet bombs and it will be one less thing to have to deal with when the move hits. After we got the mattresse all back to sleeping form, Vel was just staring at the bed and looking around as if to say, "Where is my special hidey spot? Where will I go poo when you piss me off?" We are hoping she doesn't start doing them other places, we'll see. In moving the bed around, we got the room pretty well cleaned and organized. At least there is one room in the house which doesn't make me ill to look at now. Hopefully this week I'll get another room knocked out of the way.

Oh yeah, the mold behind the book tower thingy, was BAD, and by bad I don't mean ewwwwe, gross. I mean leapord spotted black spots with gray background for like 3 feet up the wall in the corner. I was sooo diguested. I certainly won't miss living in a house with no insulation and poor ventilation. But I got it cleaned up. Not sure yet if it is going to help with breathing at night, but it certainly won't hurt.

Sunday we got up early, picked up Erin and started up the coast. We stopped at Davenport and went to the Whale city bakery. Yummy food was consumed as we sat outside looking across the highway to the beautiful ocean. Then we piled back in good ole Forlori and headed up to Waddell Creek where we met up with Lori and Noah. We then proceeded to hike up to Berry Creek Falls. The hike was beautiful, even though it was just a slight bit chilly. (There was one bad thing, but I'm omitting it as I'm trying to be positive) Anyhow, we got up to the falls, turned around and headed back. We stopped for the loverly picnic lunch that James and I had brought. The trek back down the mountain was not nearly as pleasant. By that time, some 6 miles or so in, James' shin splints starting acting up and my body just starting aching almost everywhere. We all made it out okay and we got home about quarter to five last night. All in all, a 12 mile or so hike.

We got home and jumped in the shower and boy was that nice after the dirty, dirty (did I mention the trail was filled with puddles and mud?) hike. However that was pretty much it for us. By that time, my body had fully realized the trauma I had put it through and I could barely walk. James just laid down on the bed for an hour or so. I tried in vain to get either my mom or sis to bring us food and despite my offer of $$$ neither one would come over. Poor James ended up cooking some chicken later.

Sleeping didn't go too well for either of us I think. Jamers actually stayed home today he is in so much pain. I made it in and took a pain killer. It promptly made me loopy and I felt like I was going to barf. I've pushed oodles of food into my belly now and it feels better. Tonight we are going to Sushi and hot tubbing. Hopefully our bodies will relish the outing instead of yelling at us that we are out and walking around again.

I do however, highly recommend the hike we took. It was gorgeous and had James and I been in a little better shape I'm sure our bodies would've been much happier.
