Each Day Is a Gift

55F partly sunny, nice running weather.  Ran with Karen and Amanda west on MCT.

PD lab day.  Hubby had a bad med side-effect episode today.  Dr. Bradshaw phoned in a new prescription for his RLS last night (Gabapentin 300mg).  He took it and went to bed.  This morning he could barely wake up.  Once up he was extremely dizzy, nausea with dry-heaves.  We had lab appt. at 9:30 so we rushed out of there with me carrying a box of 1200ml drain bags etc.  I had to drive since he was so dizzy.  He drank some OJ which he vomitted most of it on the way to the lab, was drowzy during lab and inservice, and vomitted the rest of the OJ on the way home.  He went straight to bed and was so sleepy/drowzy.  I woke him at 2pm so he could do his dialysis but he wanted to eat some soup.  I made him some chicken juke which he promptly vomitted up and was too drowzy to sit up.  He stayed in bed until night time when he had to hook up to the cycler.  I phoned the doc. office twice.  Needless to say I did not run today.

I woke hubby just before 8.  His first words were:  "What time is it? Whoa almost 8? Let's go camping!"  Then he rolled over and fell back to sleep.  I wasn't sure if he's alert enough to go on the trip we had planned to take Steven and Bryan who had come home on Sun. so I told him I'm going for a quick run while he gets dressed and eats breakfast (since he did not eat a thing all day yesterday due to side-effect of the Gabapentin).

Ran on the MCT to the rail-trail (3 miles) and turned back for total of 6.  Very sluggish legs AP: 10:44.

When I got home, hubby and the boys were eating breakfast and all excited to go camping at Strawberry Reservoir.  So I backed up the motorhome on the driveway and hooked up the electric power and turned on the fridge.  Told the boys to load up their gear while I showered.  We left around 11:30. 

We got to Strawberry around 2, ate lunch, they boys went shipping while I stayed in the motorhome and watched "Annie".  It rained off and on all afternoon.  Hubby got back around 5 to set up the table-top BBQ and cooked us some New York steaks.  The boys got back just in time to beat the hail storm.  Hubby hooked up to the cylcer while the boys and I watched "Interstellar" eating pop-corn.  It was cold outside (in the low 40s) and raining; but we were toasty and cozy.

Didn't sleep too well last night.  But did see the moon from the skylit window on my loft bed.  I woke at 6 and stayed toasty in my sleeping bed trying not to wake the boys below.  Hubby got up around 7 and wanted to go fishing.  So we unhooked the power, water lines and empty the holding tanks and drove to the marina to inquire about a better fishing spot.  We drove to Haws Point which is supposed to have deeper water for shoreline fishing.  But it was super windy and cold so we only stayed for an hour.  As a result I did not get to run (something I had hoped to do since it is so pretty here at Strawberry).  We stopped at Heber for lunch and got home in time for Bryan to shower and meet his former professors at the Y.

After unloading the RV and cleaning up, I went for a short run around 2pm.  It was sunny, a bit windy.  Boy, was I slow AP: 10:49.
 

55F partly sunny calm.  Solo run east on MCT via 800 E to mile 5 and turned back home on 600E.
