Roller coaster
Whew!
Yesterday was the opening of the semi-annual Lamar Friends of the Library booksale. We came home richer by hundreds of great books, but wiped out and in considerable pain.
As I was lounging in a really hot tub, sipping a well-deserved Fuzzy Navel flavored wine cooler, I realized part of why I was so happy despite the aches and pains was the feeling that the worst was behind us for a good long while.
Three weeks ago, when I started getting ready for the trip to Denver to pick up my trailer, was kind of like going up that first really big hill on a roller coaster. The past two weeks have been like going DOWN that hill--fun, but crazy and a little rough on the body, not to mention the nerves.
Now we are at the easier part of the ride--just as curvy and loopy, but not quite so downhill out of control at warp speed. I hope.
