Get Ready...

This week has been crazy busy. I am trying to round up the last of my stuff for the trail and now I need to plan the first 10 days of food and reserve my campsite and get some much needed beta on the Knife Edge and whether or not I should try and do that while I am at Baxter. I also need to find a camera quick and get a picture site set up.

This past Tuesday, the 26th, was my birthday (not the 29th like my Facebook profile said - Kelly changed that a while ago as a joke on me and I never changed it back; also note my birth year is 1972 - I ain't that old. O well I don't really keep track of everyones birthdays either.) and I also had LASIK surgery on Tuesday. That got rid of needing to take glasses and my daily contacts and organize those mail drops with all the associated paraphernalia. I was a little worried after the surgery about the results on Tuesday because my eyes were really hurting and I couldn't open them to see, but after taking some meds to help me sleep, I woke up at dinner time feeling a lot better and able to clearly see with out any glasses or contacts for the first time in my memory. My surgeon told me on Wednesday that I had way better results than he expected, and on Wednesday morning I could already see 20/20. I think it would be ironic that I spent so much of my life not being able to see anything clearly and then now have better then perfect vision - but I won't complain about 20/20.

My Grandparents came to visit and they got to meet Kelly. Everybody had fun and it has been great getting to see family - the Blitch family also came to visit over Memorial Day weekend and we all got to go see the White Squirrel Festival in Brevard.

That's kind of it for now.

Happy trails!
