flyingears

howdy. i'm still on the same excavation project. i just got back to the town of craig a couple of days ago. i had been staying with two other guys in a hunting cabin just above the white river. it was a really cool place. when i say'hunting cabin' it makes me think of an old place with a woodburning stove. that's not the case--it's a newer building with no stove but it is in a beautiful place. i took a few hikes out the back door and up some drainages. they were really beautiful. now i am back in a hotel which is good and not so good. it's nice to have my own room again but i did like being able to walk out the door and take a little walk in the evenings and stuff like that. plus it was a lot of fun living with a couple of other people. we had some really good times. and we developed some plans about being road pirates--it involved spiked shoulder pads, railroad ties on the bumper of the suburban we drive for work, and the song bad company. we almost robbed banks and atm machines....at least we sure talked about it. and so, a dozen bottles of wine later, we cleaned the place up and moved back to craig.

i was really sick yesterday. i woke up feeling like hell and stayed in bed all day. i didn't get up to get something to drink until 1:30 in the afternoon. from then on, i drank liquids and slept. i was naseous in the morning and then i had a fever and my body ached, even my eyeballs. so, i just slept almost all day and then all night. by the time i woke up this morning at six, i felt a lot better. i still went back to sleep until about ten and then went to work. i am tired now but i don't feel sick anymore.

now i am going to go get some dinner and then go back to bed.
