I'm outta here.......

I'll be planted right here, on an Adirondack chair. That's Whiteface Mountain by the way. #5 out of the 46 high peaks. The one I wanted to climb this weekend.
This is the golf course that my sister's house is on, this is the view out the window. Hey, almost exactly a year ago I was there. FUN!
The golf course again....

Leaving tomorrow morning for my sister's house in Lake Placid until Monday!

What's going to kill me....is that:


1. I have no hiking boots. I went to return mine yesterday at LL Bean and tried the size up and they didn't fit right. So I went to EMS and got a pair of Vasque's. They are supposedly a better boot, more expensive, better quality. Well my LL Bean pair was made in Italy and real leather. These are made in China and all man made material. I'm wearing them around the house for the night, but I'm thinking they aren't happening. Comfort wise....LOTS less comfy then my other ones.


2. When I was coming down Cascade mountain....I heard a POP in my right knee. I kinda figured that couldn't be a good thing. Well it's almost a week later and the pain is still severe and I couldn't even walk a mile at lunch today on FLAT ground.

So what SUCKS is that I'm going to be sitting overlooking Lake Placid and starring straight at Whiteface Mountain, and I CAN'T CLIMB IT!!!!! Matter of fact, I'm going to be surrounded by a lot of the 46 high peaks, and I can't climb any of them.

I'm really upset about this. I'm believing for healing, and I'm believing that whatever I did isn't permanent and it's just gonna go away.

And for all of those who know me, you know I'm going to probably suck it up, take a bunch of ibuprofen, and go anyway.........then deal with not being able to walk later.

Seeing how I'm going to be gone for three nights, I need to start packing now........
