Family Vacation to Washington DC Day 1

Ok. Under normal circumstances I don't mind traveling. I don't mind my knee killing me because it's squashed up next to piles of books and knitting and mp3 players. I don't mind my family on car trips, even though constant questions about irrelevant things from the back (Ethan) and utter confusion mixed with complete understanding of where on earth are we (mom and dad) and sisters that –for some reason—always try to give you a hug… get annoying. (not that I have a problem with hugs. Just all the time is like "dude gimme some space plz.")

except that I'm sick.

and I minded this morning. and to be true to my vampire t-shirt, it sucked.

However we are now at our guest home. We are staying with some wonderful people, the parents of two very dear friends of ours whom we met in church and who have a BEAUTIFUL little baby girl whom I haven't gotten a chance to hold yet. Must get better so when they come home I can hold her.

Yeah, the cold… Not sure what it is, not sure how bad it is. extremely sore body plus the worst week possible for traveling (if ya know what I mean) added into that just didn't make my day.

Tomorrow we (me included, unless I can't get up) are going to one of the churches out in DC. I don't remember what it's called, but the pastor started "9 marks of a healthy church." it's an organization that… I don't remember what it does but it has something to do with like minded churches.

I did get to read a little in the car, though. I read some Anna Karenina, Magickeepers, and hannah stole (temporarily) We Hear The Dead (which I've started and it's REALLY COOL!!). I also got a chance to work on a certain pair of mittens that I just haven't had time to work on…

The room I'm staying in is all patriotic. There's pictures of a soldier (I know him and his wife. They're so cute together!) all over the place. It's kinda crazy staying in someone else's room. She doesn't live here anymore, but I can see bits of her mind all over in the decorations and pictures.

I love and respect our military. But I could never marry a military man… he'd be gone all the time… sigh.

Anyway. That's what's going on in my head right now. My knee hurttssssssss. ouch. I'm going to have knee replacement by the time I'm 40! gah.

No soldiers. Better marry a doctor or a physical therapist…
