Going for a Ramble

Had a pretty quiet day today. My friend Jamie and I headed up to Gold Fork Hot Springs, which is about 15 miles north of here. It was the first time I've been. I'm not usually a hot springs person. I can't fathom why anyone would want to put their naked bottom in a basin where people have been doing God only knows what shortly before. I've had to clean up hot springs areas, and I guess familiarity breeds contempt. Anyway, Gold Fork is a managed area and has actual, developed pools. After a nice soak, we headed up to the local produce store/gourmet deli. It was a good way to start my "weekend."

The dogs got to go up to the lake and play for a while afterwards. I think the only way to avoid a repeat of last night's lunacy is to exercise the heck out of the dogs so that they're too exhausted to be annoying.

And for your final bit of information tonight (sorry guys), I still haven't started my damned period. The doctor put me on a cycle of estrogen/progesterone birth control to try to start my cycle up again, and it isn't working. Every month that it takes to get my body back under control takes a month away from our opportunities to conceive. So if it's not to weird, please send your internet friend in Idaho some *have a normal period* vibes. Thanks...
