A whole week of doing basically nothing

This past week I went house-boating on the Shushwap Lakes in BC. Overall it was a good experience and a much needed break after many months of camps. The annoying part is that as I write this I can still feel the motion of the boat and it is driving me up the wall. I am hoping that feeling will disappear quickly but knowing me it won't and it will continue to drive me insane.

Anyway the house-boating started off amazing. On the first day I found out I was to be co-captain so that was sweet. The first three days on the boat it was super sunny and above thirty degrees Celsius everyday. This was welcomed after what felt like a whole summer of rain. During these days I spent all my time on the upper deck, outside enjoying the sun. I even went swimming. The swimming included swimming underneath the boat just to see what was there. But by far the best swimming experience of the trip was going off the slide at the back of the boat in pure darkness and as I did not have my glasses on either I could not see anything which made it all the better. So much fun! I also used a hot tub most nights, it was so hot!

The other days it was either cloudy and cold or stormy or both. This provided another learning experience for me as I found out I get bad boat sickness during massive wave moments. Thus I spent a good deal of my time sleeping on the two stormy days that occurred during the week.

I had a very relaxing week except for the last night but I won't go into detail about that here. I regained some of my ds playing still, specifically in the area of Pokemon HeartGOld and almost completed the second half of the game! I finished my second book of the summer, finally and now can start a third just in time for the end of summer. And I learned that no matter how hard I try I cannot escape going into counselor/parent mode even for one week. Still it was a super fun trip. I even got to take a nap in the sun, there is really no way to beat that. Plus I made it home without falling asleep while driving despite being sleep deprived thanks to tea and candy!

And now for some totally unrelated stuff that just happened to happen this week. My laptop died which is sad but expected but I wish it would have lasted tad bit longer so now I get to go laptop shopping this week so that should be fun. And on another depressing note one of my rope burns from camp fell off so i am now down to three of four. I was really hoping it would stay on slightly longer as it puts a bit of a damper on my personal challenge to try and see how long I can keep them on without going mental. Well I still have three left so it continues on.

Anyway it was a good last official week of summer and a good way to end a already great summer.
