sick day

decided to take a sick day today. woke up feeling pretty nauseous and then just wasn’t feeling attitudably appropriate to have 7 individual therapy sessions. so i called in. it was a good decision. i really honestly didn’t want to do shit. i was going to just sleep all day. but my dog wasn’t going to let me!

we decided to head out to cerro summit cerro summit has been one of our winter snowshoe staples so I was really unsure as to what the conditions were. 

they were muddy! really muddy. we went along the open meadow trail and glade (my dog) was not really having it so we turned around. instead, we just ran along the road! it was super beautiful. great views. nice and dry despite two or three patches of snow (which glade absolutely loved). we didn’t really go too far on the road, probably about a mile and a half, and then we went back. it’s definitely somewhere i’d like to return and go farther. i may just want to check the legality of it though. there were no no trespassing signs except for the land on the left and right...i don’t know though, always good to be sure. 

Oh lord, to see a light, but fail in strength to follow

Sometimes it's hard to let it go

Oh lord, to fail in heart, and each day grow more hollow

Sometimes I just don't wanna know

But the road that led me here, it's begun to disappear

Sometimes I wonder where I am

Oh lord, to hear a voice, but let it fade and wallow

Sometimes it's hard to let it to

Oh lord, to find the words, but keep them in and swallow

One day the top is gonna blow

But the road that left me here, it's begun to disappear

Sometimes I wonder who I am

Oh lord, to stumble blind, for years without knowing

Sunrise has burned my eyes again

Oh lord, to crumble quiet, watching from the silence

Sunrise has burned my eyes again

It's a seven-story mountain. It's a long, long life we live. Got to find a light and fill my heart again

It's a seven-story mountain. It's a long, long life ahead. Got to find a voice and fill my throat again
