Now that would be just rude, however nothing like a gentle dip to brighten one's spirits........

I agree buddy, a new cowboy hat should be purchased in person. I shop at Cavenders too. They have a great selection of hats and provide a good service.

Feeling
 

I feel tired in general.

My face sun burn is yucky. I don't have an aloe vera plant right now (bad Chad). Does anyone have a home remedy for sun burns?

Ummm aloe? (Ducking and running)

This article has ideas on other potential home remedies... hope you feel better before starting your work week off again on Monday. Also maybe a different type of super high level sport sunblock is in order...

Haha! Yep I will go buy an aloe vera plant today. There will be many boat days this summer. I will also buy better sun block. It is hard to keep sun block on my face when I am sweating on the boat. My sun block worked on my arms.

Thank you.

Cautiously optimistic. I tend to optimism, even in the worst circumstances. I may veer from that for a little while when things get really bad, but it never takes me long to get back to my happy center.

Great.... finally have some energy today to get stuff done.

Good. Well rested and ready for the coming week.

Still tired...

My trip home took me over 24 hours...but I got to do things I had always wanted to.

Being tired is a small price to pay for the beautiful adventure I had.

Also,

Very happy to be back home in the mountains. I was considering remaining in Massachusetts and I know now that I'm just not ready to do that. I'll cross that bridge at another time.

comments on hat discussion ...

J.C. Penny had a terrific sale back last winter on their DorfMan Pacific Co. hats.

Everyone will laugh but I bought an Indiana Jones style. It was just like their other safari/river hats but not so large that it made my head look like a tiny pea under it. LOL! I refuse to do that look!!! I tried it on in the store, kept walking after I saw the regular price tag. Then it was online at a great price - marked down and then an extra 20% off. They shipped it to me in this huge box. The hat was perfect. I love it.

J.C. Penny has great sales often. Check out their DPC hats. They have Connor (Conner?) too.

good ..but with mosquito bites :hk11:

Good, just a bit stressed and have a ton on my mind...

Stuff that I can't fix but want to fix...

Exhausted, sore. Just spent the weekend at my sister's new base, got her furniture all built and helped move around some boxes to make it easier for her to unpack. We will return in 3 weeks for more fun, probably even hit the beach this time.

I miss my sister, my nephew. They are only a few hours away, and I just saw them. I know it won't be as sad as time goes on, and I adjust, but for now, they just spent the last 3 years living with me. It is certainly an adjustment. It is a good thing, we are both doing great things with our lives, but for now, I really miss them.
