hibernation mode

had a lovely weekend up north at a beautiful resort. they have "working weekends" where you work for half a day, and stay 2 nights for hardly anything, plus they feed you saturday night! each cabin has it's own sauna - the first thing we did was crank that sucker! i must have one someday. it's so relaxing. i would like one right now, please.

we hiked around, and took naps and sauna'd and watched movies. we saw a fox! extra close-up too, right outside our picture window. i do love traveling with my man. we have similar philosophies - we enjoy the journey as much as the destination. he is my hero.

pup stayed with her cousins the huskies and auntie and uncle, and she did very well. only needed pred once - it makes me fell so good that they are learning the signs, like groaning and looking sort of droopy. yay dog camp! and i do love it when they come for camp with me - such sweet pups!

my latest challenge has been to stay awake and accomplish things after work. this far north, it gets dark at 5:30, and the sun doesn't rise until 7. i've been crawling into bed at 9, reading 20 minutes and zonking out! so today i've turned on my lights and am forcing myself to stay awake at least until 10. one must have goals.

i also have this really strong urge to go to the grocery store and do a super-stock-up run. i'll probably do that this weekend, 'cause i need things, but these instincts are so strong! i must be reverting or something - hibernating, setting up winter stores, craving fat... wait, no, that's all the time! yeah, that's it. it's my instinct to have lots of ice cream around. can't help it.

and now, i would like some snow.
