Memorial vacation!

I am back from a fantastic vacation! We left on Friday and came back yesterday, Tuesday. We had to first attend Casey's sisters graduation, and party, then we headed out to Murphys.
Saturday was a day out on the lake on the Ranger. WE CAUGHT FISH! Mucho fishies. My mother caught the mother of all fish (hehehe, pun intended). We didn't weigh it, but it was large, I would guess a 5 pounder. The most remarkable thing is that it got IN THE BOAT. My dad helped by tackling it. It was a great exciting thing. I caught a bunch that day, and Casey probably pulled in the most. It was a great day! After we got off the lake at about 730pm we picked up pizza and beer and some figgy sticks. We chowed down and it was fantastic. Figgy sticks are these amazing cinnamon rolls with frosting that are delisious with beer.
The next day we took a day off of the lake and had a Picnic at Indian Rock Winery (on our street). My parents know everyone now, so it is fun to know people...They had live music, tri-tip, potato salad, and free wine. We drank and ate and relaxed in the sun. This whole weekend the weather in Murphys was only about 83-85. It was perfect! We walked over to the indian rock pond, where they have GIGANTIC trout. I realized i had had a bit too much wine, and then we proceeded inside to try out some more. I had to stop and start drinking water since I felt a little tipsy. We hung out over across the streed at the Barn, which is a little store that our friends in Murphys own. It is such a cute place with art and fun stuff... They are having a gopher problem and the new thing is to chew up gumballs and drop them in gopher holes to take care of the problem, so I offered to do the chewing. I can't resist candy! That was fun, but when you chew 20 gumballs your jaw starts to kill. After all this we headed to downtown and did some more wine tasting (Casey drove me). We came back and had BBQ hamburgers for dinner. I did a treatment then passed out. Drinking in the day is very tiring.
Monday we went out on the lake again, and caught more fish. I caught a few, but not as many on Saturday. My dad was the kingfisher that day... he kept pulling them in. The fish I did catch were decent size, so i was happy with that. It is so nice to hang out on the boat all day. It is nice to soak up the rays. We got a good ride in, it took about 20 minutes to get to the fishing spot. Nothing beats going 45 mph on the water... I LOVE IT! We had an amazing encounter with a bald eagle. He sat on a branch, and we trolled around on the water and got to admire him. He was probably 20 feet away. We got some great pictures, which I will put on later... We also saw a snake swimming across the lake, my mom thinks it was a rattler, which freaked me out. Gives me the chills, but it was cool to see. It was a great day!
It was nice to get away from all the loss, and just get a vacation. My lungs did well, and i feel good. usually I feel pretty exhausted after vacation... but i feel good.... i still need to rest, but i am not worried about crashing this time...

Time goes by....

I am sitting here thinking about how amazing time is. Sometimes it flies by, when you are enjoying yourself, or have a million things to do, and can't get them all done in a given amount of time, or it just slowly ticks as if life will never come to an end. I am feeling somewhere in the middle right now. This morning buzzed by, but now it is going slow, as i don't feel so hot. This weekend was supposed to be fun and productive, but it turned out to start out fun fortunately but that didn't last long. We had our friends Kristy and Ben over for dinner (yay) and we ate and watched a comedy DVD, which was great fun. I was really happy by body held out for it. Then right as they left, BOOM. I started to feel like crap. I know the reason i felt like crap, so don't go reporting me to the CDC for Bacon lung... I took my first dose of Actonel, for my bones, which I was hoping would heed better results than the fosamax, which I was severely disappointed, did not come to fruition. I got a fever at about 11pm, it went away by 1pm but came back with avengance at 3:30am, to shakes, chills, nauesa, tachicardia, and oh yes, puking. I think i have thrown up more in the past 2 months than I have my entire life. I need to stop making this such a habit. Well, anyway. I had to deal with that until 530am. I finally fell asleep. Then about 11am i woke up with it again, however not as bad. Anyways, to say the least it wasn't fun. Then on Sunday I had this weird eye pain, so i could only look straight ahead, then last night i developed this weird pain in my foot, inside my bones. Not fun at all. Well, I am just taking it easy now, trying to feel better. My body feels like it was hit by a truck. I am not sick anymore, but I feel like I need to recover from all of it. So that is what i am doing. My wonderful mom offered to pick up my groceries for me today, so i get that help, then i am going to make fresh pesto pasta for dinner and artichokes. YUM. I guess that is all for now. My mother will be here shortly with my delivery... just gonna waste some time now.... i mean rest...
