I have arrived. Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It has been such a long time since I have been here. 2 years...maybe 3. After getting up at the butt crack of dawn, Dad drove the Aerostar, me, and our stuff here. The trip was a little under 6 hours. I slept most of the way. I'm such a good navigator. We went to the Four Seasons resort for a $64.00 lunch. I endulged in a $16.00 cheesburger and $5.00 bottled water. It was good. Skiing looked good today. We arrived too late though.
Dad went into the ER to get his hand checked out. Princess bit him and his hand is the size of a Cornish Game Hen. Its kind of sick. Poor dad. He was there for around 4 hours. Got some IV antibiotics, the usual. He goes back at 6 am tomorrow for another dose, perhaps surgery. Fun vacation so far. I guess I will be skiing alone.
I recieved one of the best presents I've ever gotten today. I don't think he realizes how much I appreciate it. Those of you who can look...go ahead.
I just love it. It makes me miss Bloomington (home?) even more. Only 6 more days.
My Missoula visit was overall, all right. Nothing spectacular. I didn't see anyone I didn't want to see and I saw everyone I wanted to see. I made one mistake, and I'm paying the price for it, but everything should be all right in the end.
The drinking is bad again tonight. Well, at least I think it is. It's gotten to the point where I can't even tell if it's the alcohol or if it is just his behavior. I just don't know. It doesn't bother me that much, I guess. I checked out the AlAnon website. I don't think it is for me. The steps, the religion, the organization....just not for me. This isn't that big of a deal right now. Maybe if it progresses. I'll be okay. He'll be okay. Everything is going to be okay.
Dad and I searched for real estate today. We close on our property on Thursday. No more Jackson residency. Oh well. We are getting enough to purchase a house in Bloomington, a condo here or in Idaho, and another summer home. I am pretty excited about this. Oh joy!
I need to sleep. I will probably be treking the mountain alone tomorrow. Can't get lost or in an avalanche or anything.
