Ahhhh! A long weekend at the cabin. Just what the doctor ordered. Granted, I had hoped to be skiing and running around playing in the snow. Two things stopped me from this. First, we had no snow. Second, I wasn't moving all too well yet and still had a pounding headache. The doctor who took out my stitches confirmed I probably had a concussion with the nausea and headaches I had been experiencing. When I asked him what to do, he simply said, "don't use your brain." Hmmmm. I guess there would be a whole lot of nothing over the weekend for me. Reading was kind of out of the question. So I watched movies and Saturday, I helped Erik stain and put up a new shelf in our entry way. I even let others cook. I may have drank a bit too much red wine, however. Also not good for a concussion. Well, nobody is perfect. But as most know, I can not sit still long. So as everyone headed out to do adventure on Sunday, on the road and on what little snow we had, I had to do something. I figured snowshoeing was safe. I wouldn't fall or think. But it felt good to move. So Sarah, visiting from San Fran, and I headed out for our adventure. We didn't get far before we were forced to ditch the snowshoes and just take a nice long walk. Exactly what the doctor ordered.

| The mountain was amazing!!! |
Monday people headed up to the mountain to brave the 35 mph winds and snow. I got ambitious and went for a hike with Kendra and Melissa. I was moving slow, but it was so beautiful and I seldom take the opportunity to move that slow and take it all in. It was really nice.

Then Tuesday morning after the storm had cleared, there was just enough snow for a 'neighborhood loop'. Heading out the door with xc skis on and doing a little hour loop to get some fresh air and take in the beautiful white blanket that had covered all the ugly dirt.

It was a good weekend, hanging out with friends. Being home. Enjoying recovering from a long season and already looking forward to the next. But don't worry. I'm still chilling for a bit longer. And hope to get some skiing in if mother nature cooperates. Or I may have to get on a plane and find it myself!!!
