Today was rather exhausting, emotionally more than physically.
I’m going with some friends to climb Mount Temple this weekend. This morning though I found that my ride had decided to leave early with his new lady friend instead. Luckily I was able to find a replacement ride. Slight abandonment issue. I was not looking forward to the idea of driving all the way back down to Banff after my long trip last weekend. (It probably would have been more plausible if I had cruise control.)
Yesterday I got a therapeutic massage. Today I noticed that my knee was hurting on stairs. I would have thought the former would have prevented the latter, instead of exasperating it. I do not want to have a weak knee if I’m going to be using it climbing a mountain. I decided to skip my evening run to give my legs more recovery. I thought I would do orienteering, but the inclement conditions stopped me from doing that as well.
Instead I went and picked up a new lens for my camera. The photography course I had taken had turned me on to the idea of a polarizing filter. I thought it would be a good thing to have for the mountain climb. Unfortunately, it makes the camera too big for the case, so I’ll need to store it separately from the camera. I tried to find a case just for the lens, even going to WEM to pick one up, but finding that it was way too big and unwieldy for my needs. Now I’m trying to figure out what to store it in that I can take it up a mountain with.
Best option seems to be my dice bag.
