1. I am taking a Wilderness First Responder course this weekend. 2. Therefore, I will be outdoors (camping) all weekend. 3. I'm not sure whether I like this idea or not. 4. Who am I kidding, I am PUMPED!

And surprisingly low in calories.

Curse you and your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

I confess that I hate it when they update my EHR software. It is already overly cumbersome, clunky and counter-intuitive . Updates always make it worse. Trying to "fix" what is badly broken, but we're used to the breaks. Stop making it worse.

If it's name Scottish, It's Craapp!

1. Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day 2. Except the Scots 3. We're still Scottish Alba Gu Bragh!

A few fries short of a happy meal. Not my circus; not my monkeys.

What bench? There is never a bench when I travel. This is the only place where I truly become a passive aggressive troll. I always do this intentionally to make things as uncomfortable as possible for the TSA. If they are going to make me strip down, open 3 bags, use 5 bins, take off my shoes and my belt (yes, I have gone…

Some days, you eat the bear. Some days, the Bear eats you. Frequently followed with, "And today, son, your -kitten- looks like bear chow.

Constantly. There is a really good support group for this. It is called MFP Chit Chat board. If you can wade through the dreck and the narcissistic poo, it really does help.

I've seen dancer feet, distance runner feet and soccer player feet. I'm assuming that skater feet are similar. Eeewww! People are weird.

Vino!

I confess that I may spend too much time on these boards. I just said "kitten" in normal conversation instead of using the actual word. "Holy kitten"!

Dammit! I just let my Tattoo Artist's License lapse!

The hazards of rural Eyecare!

Have you been hanging around in my office again? Do yours come in straight from mucking out stalls like mine do? Add in the smell of old horse or cow manure in and you've got a winning combination!

Are you in jail? Is this a church lady thing?

Helping my son pick out a class ring.

I know. Those are both true. I learned from my days as a Long distance runner, the weight goes up by a ridiculous amount after a long day or days. Everything will be back to Normal by Wednesday or Thursday. Still frustrating to watch the scale go the wrong way while the clock keeps ticking!

1.0 The scale was NOT kind to me today. 1.33 I burned somewhere around 3000 kCal this weekend according to my Apple Watch. 1.66 I still gained 3 pounds! 2.0 This means, mathematically, that, I took in almost 15,000 kCal. that I was not aware of, nor did I get to enjoy them! 2.33 Yes I know this isn't how it works. 2.66…

Thanks for that visual image ladies. I don't think they make enough melatonin to put me to sleep now. >:)

Recovering from 8 miles in the woods with 45 pounds on my back. I just realized that I used to weigh that much BEFORE I put a pack on! And then a night spent outdoors 10 degrees below freezing and 16-18 mph winds!

1. Hiking through the woods with my backpack on my back is my happy place. 2. Went for a short overnite hike with my Scouts this weekend. 3. Made my daughter go along. She wasn't excited. 4. I may have created a Hiking monster. She had a blast.

Just finished packing for an overnite backpacking trip. My Daughter's first. Our first group prep hike for our summer expedition. The temp tonite is supposed to be 21 deg. F./ (approx -5C.) and the high tomorrow is supposed to be 40. (Approx +5C). At least they have taken the snow out of the forecast. Something tells me…

I use water softener salt or Cat litter. Because we always seem to have them around. I prefer water softener salt, because it doesn't leave a smell.

1. Backpacking with Scouts this weekend 2. Snow in forecast 3. Going anyway.

Bathrooom. WEIGH IN. Shower. Get dressed. Brush teeth. Breakfast.

As long as you are willing to share it with us. In general, we don't care. Nice to have something to hold on to.
