hiking adventures

I am still unemployed. I enjoy this much more now that I am not vomiting 20 times per day. Marcus seems to work very little at his job as well... so we go on lots of adventures together. This last trip took us to the North Cascades, which I had never been to. We camped one night on some really pretty lake that I can't remember the name of, and then the next day we packed up our things and did a backpacking trip.

The doctor approved all of this, for those of you who are worried that I can't carry a backpack yet. :) We even brought our scale to make sure my backpack wasn't too heavy. We hiked the Thornton Lakes Trail which was a little too much of an adventure--we had to balance and walk on a log bridge (not easy on meds that make you dizzy when you have already low blood pressure), and then at the end, there was a short rock climb to get into the camp ground. I lowered my pack down to Marcus and it all worked out... but it was definitely an adventure. We did take some fabulous photos, and we had a lot of fun!! And the weather was totally gorgeous!! yay!!

Beyond all that, not much is going on. I am still feeling great!! I am keeping food down almost always!! When I do vomit, it is just once in a while... not a million times a day--totally do-able. I am able to get enough calories to keep my weight stable, even on all my adventures. :)

And we sold our car! Yay!
Hugs and love,
