So, my mood is still all over the place … but I think two of the things I was freaking out about are now resolved [fingers crossed]. The BIG ONE is still looming. One day I will feel good about the decision I have made and the next I will start questioning myself. Ugh.

Meanwhile … I took a couple of visiting Germans (plus the boyfriend, the dog, and another friend) out on a hike to Max Patch this past Sunday.

Here we all are before setting out when everyone was happy. This was the day that discovered I shouldn’t assume someone’s fitness level. A few bad decisions on my part regarding the length of the hike made it stressful and bit miserable for some of the participants. At least the weather was good. Everyone survived but I suspect “hiking guide” will not be in my future as a potential career path.

This afternoon, I am off for a physical. It’s the first one I have had in a little over seven years and I know it’s bad to wait that long. I went last week and got the blood drawn for the standard tests. I am hoping that I don’t get any bad news like high cholesterol, diabetes, HIV, or any other nasty health problems. I joked with the boyfriend about wearing my backless briefs just to try and shock my doctor. He said to go for it, but I’ll probably just wear my boring old boxer briefs instead. I talk a good game but generally don’t have any follow through.

Otherwise …. at this point, I am just working for the weekend.
