A Dr. Zoidberg moment seemed appropriate today, seeing as I'm currently rather lobster-colored!
Friday night turned out much different than I anticipated, heh. I had to squeeze in a client consultation (which we booked) before wushu practice, and I had to rush around a ton before I even got to practice. For some reason, I was really sore and tired after wushu, and I had a bunch of camping prep to do, so I didn't have it in me to do all the moving around that dancing requires *after* that. :/
I finally got done with everything pretty late, and Boy was out with Nathan and Morgan at a low-key place in Sellwood, so after some hemming and hawing, I carted myself over there to hang out. I'd figured on calling it an evening around midnight, but the role of Devil-on-the-Shoulder was played by Nathan, because whenever a drink was emptied, poof! A new one was suddenly in front of each of us. So, long story short, after too many drinks, some chocolate cake, and a bit of hot-tubbing, Boy and I rolled on home at 4am. Yeah, that's an Oops, but the soreness did feel better after the hot tub.
Camping! So fun. The campsite was up in the Hood Canal past Bremerton, and the drive up there was really pretty; there were little yellow flowers all over the place near the roads and highways. We got a late start, but there were still a few hours of light left when we got there, so we met up with everybody on the beach and kicked it for a while before dinner. There was a lot of games, a round of horseshoes, and relaxy-good times. Boy was pretty hung over and tired, so he crashed early, but some of us held out until past midnight. :)
Sunday was awesome group breakfast with omelets, bacon, homemade coffee cake, fruit, and even coffee in teabag format, heh. We hiked around the beach for a while after that, since the tide was actually in and we could get to the water easily, and by the time we were done with that, people had started taking off, so Boy and I rolled out in the mid-afternoon.
...or, so we thought, because we got to the nearest little town a few miles away and saw a dude renting kayaks, so we wound up stopping, renting a two-seater, and paddling around in a kayak for 3 hours. Of course, we completely spaced on sunscreen until we were pretty far out on the water, but the breeze was nice and kept us cool until we pulled back in for the day.
So, today, I'm sore as hell (yet again), and yes, I have a pretty goofy-looking sunburn. But man, it was good to see some new places and enjoy the overall change of pace. :) I'm tolerating work rather nicely, heh.
