So did the 6-7 mile hike in Hocking Hills, Dennis & Linda got pics, so I will post them when I get them. Got all 4 of my journals here PDF-ed at LJBook.com, except this month at this journal (my other ones were my first journal, which got crowded so I moved to this one, a graphics journal that never got off the ground and my Puzzlepirates.com oriented journal which I also use to record some of my dreams. That one just has links to game tutorials in public entries, and my dreams in private ones.
It was COLD yesterday--we got up at 4:00 to drive up there from Southern Ohio-Indiana area, was around 28 degrees when we got there, dropped to 24-25 after noon. But we were moving or had some access to a fire (during the halfway beansoup, corn muffin & hot cocoa break, lol) the whole time. It really is gorgeous up there, I guess it's in Northeastern Ohio, yeah someone needs to pay closer attention to her life and surroundings. :P. We ate at Bob Evans in the a.m. before the hike, then went to Donato's and had chicken veggie pizza, really good. Well, Dennis had stromboli and Henry had wings.
Anway, I was miserable most of the time, but that's my general state of mind anyway, and I'm starting to assume it's anger that ruins everything in my life. Some of it I'm sure justified, but I would like to learn to deal with it. But I was of course trying to be as happy as I could and not bitch. I am not mad at them, but at life, and they are being really nice to me.
We also stopped and did shopping on the way home, and I even got some new sneakers, really like them and they were $20, really starting to need new ones so that was great. I was so tired when we got back I went to bed asap, despite having internet access ten feet away (I don't have it at home yet, always post from the library). Then Linda and I went to a service sponsored by a new wave type church, which is what she attends, not quite a Christian, and certainly not Catholic like her parents. I know the feeling but tend to find the new wave stuff kind of phony, still like the Christian minview even though I only will "attend church" online or watching the best tv and radio shows (not PTL, thanks) by the best preachers. I have had bad enough experiences from my fellow catholics growing up and in adult life, and do not feel safe in any church yet, not physically or financially. There are hucksters, hypocrites and jerks of the worst kind in any church or church-like group, in addition to the real people, and I haven't learned to avoid them all yet, was raised to be a sucker.
Anyway, I wish I had done some kind of warmup for handling some of the steeper parts of the trail, but really it was not tough, and I do like walking. I just huffed and puffed and found some of the inclines a bit much, did fall in one slippery place but only pride got hurt. I knew I wanted to do something to get ready physically for this hike, walk around locally this week, but had no motivation. Darn, I paid for my neglect. In general I need something to get me out of the house a bit more often, just to keep me from going crazy. I know other folks who need that too, but I just am not sure what to suggest, if anything. Our group of gals, really people I know through alanon and Linda (who come to think of it I only really know from Alanon), do try and get together for other stuff, but we don't always have the same to do things.
SORRY FOR THE CAPSLOCK BUT IN CASE ANYONE IS LOOKING FOR ME OUTSIDE GJ, I'M AFUFLE AT LIVEJOURNAL AND LIZMUCH AT INSANEJOURNAL. But I'm not much liking Insanejournal, so will probably just stick to LJ, and here until it goes belly up.
Lol, this was typed up at GJ, I'm ISMUCH there, & I apologize for any seeming inconsistencies.
