So Sometimes It's Ok

Well, the trail was a lot of fun. We were gone for 4 days, which was the perfect amount. We hiked in and set up camp (day 1), hiked to a lake and back (day 2), hiked through a pass over the continental divide (day 3), and then hiked out (day 4). The hiking wasn't too strenuous, but it did rain a lot. The guide's little sister (who works in the kitchen out here) came with us, and she's going to Samford in the fall, so it was nice to spend time with her and get to hang out before school in a month.

But now that I am home and clean, I am a little sad for several reasons.
First: my camera has decided to say "Err 99: Shooting is not possible. Turn the power switch to and again or re-install the battery." But to no avail - it won't work. It won't let me take any pictures. I called Canon, and it's going to be a lot of money to have it fixed.
Second: For the past 4 days I've been looking forward to coming back and listening to my ipod while I just lay in my bed and do nothing. I left my ipod on my nightstand or on my bed, but it is no where to be found. So I'm thinking that someone borrowed it, and forgot to return it. So I left a note on the kitchen table that says, "Dear Liz's Ipod, I miss you a lot. Please come home. - love, Liz." Hopefully someone will find it and bring it back to me. But either way, I would love to be listening to Gregory Alan Isakov or Explosions in the Sky or Dierks Bentley right now. Dang it.
Third: I am on the all day tomorrow, and I have to be a breakfast with my group at 7:10. So no sleeping in, even though I just got off of the trail.
Fourth: I have a migraine.
Fifth: I am out of Nexium.

Ok, that is enough complaining. I am going to lay in my bed and embroider. I would love to take a picture of all of my embroidery so far (a unicorn, a dolphin, two birds, an owl, and a giraffe), but my camera is broken, like I said. I think I am about to do an elephant with two little birdies on it's back. But here are some pictures. The first one is of me and Katy at Cottonwood Lake. And the second is of me and my trophy on top of the continental divide.
