Slept in today, I'd been dreaming about it all week. We had plans to go bouldering in Prescott but Rich was psyched on making tamales so we went to the draw. We were hoping to hang out with our pals Jeans & Franc, Sue & Red and knew they were going first thing in the a.m. so we motivated ourselves. There was still snow at the draw! We decided to go to Howards. We grabbed grips on some boulders we'd never been on before; they were pretty good. We went down to the end where the classic arete that I can't remember the name of is. I repeated several things I'd done and didn't even try the hard stuff. Mostly I just layed on my pad and felt the warm sun beat down on me. I have been exhausted for weeks and I don't know why I can't seem to recover from being sick or the Ryan Kwan Do workout.

Since I've been feeling so bad I decided to quit sugar again. It is such a miserable experience - quitting. I definitely go thru withdrawl, tho I've not been eating a log of sugar lately--except for the two donuts yesterday (argh!). I also thought I'd try to quit coffee. I have been drinking a lot of coffee. I drank one cup today and I will keep cutting down to avoid the horrifying headaches. I keep hearing my chiropractor in my head telling me that it causes cancer in women, sticks around in our liver. After having these enduring colds since I've lived here, I know that being sick EVER is not good for me. Maybe since I've written about it now, I will remember how miserable these two things make me and I can quit forever (Right...).

Oh yeah, we saw Betsy, Ryan, Jenny & Jason at the Island on our way out. It was so nice to see them, especially Betsy since I'd not seen her in awhile. Wish I wasn't so knackered because I really wanted to climb with Betsy & Jenny. :( Hopefully we can climb with those kids on Sunday.
