Not the best.

Flu or something has me in it's grip. I am not terribly sick, just green around the gills. A slight headache, minor nausea, fear of diarrhea, and that general feeling of poor health. It could be something I ate, it might be the inversion which is making the air bad, or it could be the flu. I just woke up to it. I believe it will be gone shortly, it is just one of those feelings, a sense which is usually right. For the moment, it is miserable.

I plan to go skiing again this weekend. Whether alone or with my friend, I cannot be sure. I am holding off on buying the skis for a bit and will just rent for now. I should go midweek though, fewer people ski midweek, I think. Then again, being a beginner, it might be better to have other people on the trail in case I bungle the venture. Yes, I should so will probably keep my skiing to the weekends. If I go alone, I would like to go a lot further than I did this last time if not quite all the way to the yurt. The way up is quite a bit of work, but the way down for the most part, makes it worth the effort.

I seem to have gained some weight while losing inches. Another notch on my favorite belt is used, simply in order to keep my pants up. I suspect using my legs has actually increased muscle there. It would not seem like two trips would do it, but I think it has. There is no other way to explain a weight gain along with the belt tightening. Since I am, generally, so inactive at this point, I think anything I do will have quite an effect. While skiing, I am on my feet the whole time, so yeah, it probably is simply leg muscle gain.

I called my older former neighbor to see if he wanted to get out to eat and take a drive earlier. We went to a place I do not particularly favor. Several people I have spoken with liked the food. Pasta dishes, sea food. Oh well, there are several places I do like and some places I would like to try. In time I will probably try all of the local restaurants. After dinner, we took a drive out around the far side of Cache County. I had not been out at night, so it was good to have a navigator. The inversion is odd in that it doesn't completely blot out stars let alone the sun. It just hangs mid-air in what would otherwise be clear days and nights. It is not even fog, really. It is a phenomena I have never seen, or knowingly, before.

I hope you are not feeling ill? Be well.
