perfecting peace

~ mister and k left this morning at 6 to the geek convention in indianapolis. i stayed in bed another half hour or so and got up to feed/water/check chickens and horses, then came and got back in bed for a morning nap. i probably should have just stayed up, but i've been excessively tired from all the frivolity and felt a quiet tuck in wouldn't be a bad idea. 

~ we have been really busy every day for the past two weeks or so. getting ready for company and then having company for such a long stretch meant that i had only a few slivers of alone time for recharging. that's just fine, though, because the memories we made with friends/fam were way worth it. 

we FINALLY made good on the "let's rent kayaks and see if we like it" idea and did a 90 minute paddle down the river last wednesday then went again on friday for a 4 hour paddle. i wasn't worried about the rapids at all (having grown up near the kern river and tubing down it has made me brave...or stupid...or both) and the most treacherous part of our trip was me having to get out of the kayak to find a place to pee — or maybe the treacherous part was getting back in. 

anyway, big fun and a GREAT workout. 

mister liked it so much that he agreed we should get a few kayaks and try to go at least 2x a week until the season is over. 

i LIKE that idea!
