Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Back To Quilcene
My intention was to wake up early (ish, because you know I don't do truly early) and head out on a long hike, but my body had other plans. I slept until 10:22am! I was having the most captivating dream. I was on a road trip with Diana Ross. Yeah, I don't know where that came from, either. And I have no idea how to interpret it, or even Google interpretations for it. She was driving, and we were traveling along the coast in a 70's style Dodge van. One of the ones you associate child abductors with, but it had windows. It actually was a pretty dope dream. I wouldn't mind having it again.
I still went hiking. I was out the door by 11:30am and knew exactly where I was going. Back to Quilcene. Last time I was out there I'd wanted to hike Rainbow Canyon, but I ran out of daylight. So, that's what I did today. It was a gorgeous hike, but short. So I did what I'd read someone else do in the reviews section for the hike in my WTA (Washington Trails Association) app. I combined it with Falls View. Which was just as magical the second time as it was the first. I love Falls View so much. I think it might actually be one of my happy places. Still second to Fort Worden (both for reasons I'm unsure of. I guess it's just the way I feel when I'm there).
The two hikes combined exceeded my step goal, and as a bonus I found the trailhead for Elbo Creek trail, which I'd read about but wasn't sure how to find. It's less than a mile from Rainbow Canyon's trailhead through the abandoned campground (which is very creepy to walk through). I think that might be my next hike. I also want to re-hike Mt. Walker on a really nice day. I've got so many options!
Tonight's self-care was another long, hot Epsom salt bath. I did a bentonite clay mask and put bentonite clay in my hair. I read somewhere that it's just as good for hair as it is for skin. Too bad I didn't read a little further to find out how hard it is to get out! I swear, my scalp is scrubbed raw from trying to get the clay out... but damn my hair is soft and my curls defined! I oiled my scalp with Jamaican black castor oil too, since it's scrubbed so clean of any buildup. Which I had quite a bit of. I'd scratch my head and get it under my nails. Which reminded me that I hadn't washed my hair since the beginning of last week. Slightly longer than I usually go. So, that was my evening.
Snookums promised me sex in exchange for making him a salad. I can't get over how much that makes me laugh. My sex drive is lightyears above and beyond his these days, and I feel like he always promises, but then he's too tired. I think he's planning on following through tonight, though. Is it weird that I'm excited?
