Atomic Nerds

We are home. That we had a fabulous time nearly goes without saying. So fabulous, in fact, that we did something of an imitation of little kids, in being far too wound up by the exciting cool kids and not wanting to be left out of anything to feel tired in anything but a background way, so that the trip went something like: *alarm rings at 7 am* *WHEEEEEEEEEEEE* *reluctantly leave gathering at 10:30 pm-12:00 am* *fall asleep hour to hour and a half later after sufficiently winding down* …. *alarm rings at 7 am.* It, plus one ongoing attack of hay fever that still has me feeling the need to claw my eyes out, builds up. As does hydration or the lack thereof at steady time under a vigorous sun; I made the interesting discovery yesterday that I can be feeling pretty steady on my feet and still be severely lacking in precious bodily fluids. This occurred to me after spending fully an hour fruitlessly trying to clean my glasses in between stops before other causes of blurry vision entered my head. I’m fine now, water is truly life, though as I found coffee and tomato juice are not adequate substitutes or even supplements if you’re to be spending all your time out of doors.

A much more complete rundown when we’ve had a loooong uninterrupted sleep and quiet time-out.
