My Everest…

So the morning of the walk I called him as I saw that he had landed and is now in Poland but waiting on a connecting flight.   We virtually had coffee together.  Then I got to posting the first team pictures for our walk from Thailand and Australia !! Got the cooler of treats ready along with water etc…and out the door I went to meet the

London team.  We had a few people that couldn’t come but this I do understand as they work hard during the week but I know they were with us anyhow!    We ended up with 26 people walking + a baby (sweet thing)!   The kids and dogs were all good on the walk and everyone made it without anything happening !! Got lots of pictures and I considered it a success for another year!!  While I was walking I was getting texts from hubby that his flight was delayed 2 twice so I was feeling his frustration

…but I can’t control it and he’s traveling so he’s rolling with it.  After everyone left and I thanked them for coming my mom asked me to come over to her place.  She had just returned from a trip so I said I would stop in.   I got to her place and sat down and I was tired.  She asked me to stay longer and I said no I would like to but I am really tired right now.   So I hung around for about an 1hr and then left.  As I drove home the 10-15min drive and waited at a light I couldn’t ask for it to turn green faster.  Waves of exhaustion were just hitting me….my mind was like and this is why I am so thankful that hubby drives me places especially after things like this!!   I need to get home ASAP.   I quickly stopped off at the store to pick up something for my dinner as I knew I wasn’t going out again when I got home, and then myself drove home in a cloud of exhaustion.  When I got home it was too soon to go to bed and I am not a person that naps during the day so I did some more picture posting online too some calls from Calgary and Poland and just whittled away the rest of the afternoon evening couldn’t come soon enough!!  I was watching TV but absorbing nothing !! My brain was mush and my typical body parts were sore…..so by 8pm I called it, took my meds early and went to bed.  Knowing there was going to be a storm I closed the windows and tucked myself in for the night.   Only to be semi comatose and have the brain decide to have a conversation telling me it’s hot ….yeah well dummy you have hot flashes uncover yourself and deal!! Well that’s not working ! Fine, we will turn on the a/c!! Lied down in bed only to have the brain say I can’t feel it. Are you sure you turned it on?? You didn’t have your glasses  Oh FFS!!!  Up I went put on my glasses, turned on a light, made sure the snowflake was on and then finally I slept. I heard the rain pouring down in sheets outside and I slept and I kept on sleeping until I woke up at 9:30am.   I cannot remember when the last time I slept that long was!!
