Late night boys club run up Grandeur. I had called off my morning plans of VB w/my "Asian bestie".... was really bummed since it's been forever. But my toe got infected Wednesday night and I wanted to give the antibiotics some time. Friday night it was feeling a bit better (I could tolerate existing without pain killers) and since I had a rough evening at home I thought blowing off some steam and having fun would be the prefect cure. A little tylenol to take the edge off the toe pain...
What fun! The trees were glittering with moonlight on the recent dusting of snow. It was absolutely beautiful. I had fits of giggles every time one of the guys would slip, slide, or mutter profanities in fear on the ice coming down. The one or two times I almost slipped were more from giggles than from ice.
It took a solid 30 minutes of reading in a super hot bath to finally feel warm inside. I'm remembering the contradicting emotions of winter- in love with the twinkling beauty of it all, and feeling always, terribly, cold.
