With the test come and gone, I had foolishly thought I would have some spare time. Ha, no. Thanksgiving had us take a trip over to Nebraska to visit B's parents for the holiday dinner. They're currently living in a tiny town (population around 150) surrounded by miles of pretty much nothing, and I'm fairly certain I only saw 10 people moving about during our three day stay. Good socializing, but not a lot to do.
It's also that time of year when B finds himself frequently traveling to assorted conferences, leaving me to keep watch over the house as he heads off to San Fran, Austin, etc. Normally I don't get to travel with him as our schedules rarely sync up, but this week turns out to work in our favor; a quick 2 day trip up to Estes Park is in our future with us staying at the (in)famous Stanley Hotel! B will be busy getting his science on and being all professional which lets me explore the hotel, taking the hotel tour, and generally putting about the city at my leisure. Despite living in Colorado for as long as I have, I've never been there, so this will be a fun bit of exploration.
Today's temperature was around 29 degrees (F), leaving these poor monkey joints stiff and sore. I did manage one of my 2 mile jogs, but I'll have to pass on tonight. Ouchie.
vacation,
just the two of us,
squee,
friends
