Pride

 

Rv spots at our hotel.  How are they empty?  I'd stay here.

Fun golf is included in the hotel rate.  Lili and I played two courses.

I made not 1, not 2 but 3 hole in one's.

Squirrel got new shoes.

Well, new to her.

Oscar's old knobby 33's.

I was spinning and had gravel flying on a hill.  These are more aggressive and they look better.

Sos clinic.  Teaching Lili how to dial a rotary phone.

Eric went out yesterday to work with 4wdabc (4 wheel drive association of BC) to do a forest clean up.  40 of them cleaned up 12,500 lbs of trash!!

Eric had a zone, and one of his people found an RV so Oscar got to do a good amount of winching getting the components up the hill to the bin.

They got lunch and had some fun out there.

An rv's remains.  Sigh.

People are gross.

Pride was swamped.

Mom and I hid in the shade away from the people.

We had a great view.

Soooo many people.

The hoards following the parade.  

I think our Entrepid group should enter next year.

We had a great spot.

Trail day.

We were up early.  1st ones at the meet spot.  I was nervous but feeling ok.  Biggest fear.  Breaking down and holding up the line.

37 rigs.

Eric was gunner and I was ahead of him, following Lady Grey who was also on her first trail day.

And then it happened.

Squirrel said "no more".

The transmission linkage cable popped off the shifter.  It took a hot minute to figure out.  There were a whole bunch of helpers there immediately.  She was fixed in no time.  There were lots of laughs about it all.  I survived the fear.

Eric and Gord showing off.

We made it to the views!!

It was a great first day.

Lunch provided.

Squirrel got some mud!  I played with Gord and we did some puddle jumping.  My fave.

After lunch 7 rigs carried on for some advanced fun.  Stephanie came with me to Transfer Beach and we enjoyed some peace and quiet in the shade.  

Such a beautiful day.

The only picture Eric took of Squirrel today.  There was a butterfly tagging along.

Zoomed.

Hmmm.  Kicked a chair in the wee hours.  Looks worse than it feels but it was pretty great to get my shoes off.

What a day.

 

Our 1st trail.  It was a simple baby trail but we did it and I got it in gear :)

She looks so much like she's actually doing it.  Haha.

Eric was spotting.

I have no idea what the hands are saying though so that's fun in a marriage.

Beautiful.

We witnessed Sasha and Chris's wedding this afternoon.  So fun.

Love.

Dwayne came to visit in his gorgeous Baracuda.

Which was perfect timing so he could help Eric line up and install the banner.  It turned out perfect.

After way too much time trying to figure out my pyscho brain this is the tire cover I finally picked for Squirrel.

Warrior!

More vinyl applied last night.

This couple had 12 babies, then 6 and last night just 1.  Pretty sad.

This morning Lili took me for a cat scan.  It was a bigger process than I was expecting it took two hours.  They gave me a card to take to the emergency room lest the medication before the contrast that is to stop the intestines from moving caused an eye to burst re: glaucoma.  Yikes!  Then my heart rate went too high so we had to wait for me to relax.  I didn't at any point reach relaxed.  A vein was punched right through.  The eye thing was scary. Then afterwards my heart rate hit 120.  They wanted me to stay, I asked what normal is, she said 60.  It did trend down to 107 when I left.  They wanted to keep me but I had things to do.  Lol.

We met Eric and Kai at a park.  He was at a year end party.  I told Eric I was supposed to go home and rest but I felt fine and was good to get the groceries needed for the weekend.  He said no.  Go home, rest and try not to explode. 

Who would ever imagine that one day your partner would say to you "try not to explode".  I can see that this will become a new catch phrase for us.  Funny now, wasn't earlier though.

I rested about half an hour.  I really, really suck at resting.

Lili just called.  Gave me a bit of attitude about me not taking it easy.

I've overdone the day in general.

The medication totally messed with my digestive track.  I suffered today.  My butt is flaring.  The skin is breaking and bleeding.  I've taken myself to bed early but we're up at 6 for my first group run.  I'm slathered in diaper cream and hoping for some healing over night.

Tmi?

Maybe but this is the fallout of f'ing cancer surgery.  It's not easy being me.
