I've had an interesting weekend so far. Drove up to Idaho Falls on Friday evening with my daughter and my two Chinese tenants, Carl and Milo. My daughter has spent the weekend with her father and his family and I've been putting around the area with Carl and Milo. We came up here because my friend Hope invited us to join her for the state fair in Blackfoot. Rebecca ended up going to the fair on Sat with her dad. She threw up at the fair and again after getting home, so when it was time to go with us she wasn't feeling up to it. Sat the boys and I hung out at the mall for a while, had lunch with Hope and her family, came over to Melissa's place where the boys napped and I talked and played games with Melissa. She had evening plans with friends so Carl, Milo and I went down to walk around the greenbelt. (I did my best to keep up the pace so it would actually count as getting some sort of exercise in... if I remember correctly it's about 2.5 miles around.) After the walk, we came back and had pizza with Melissa and her friend Gary. Sunday, we got up, had a lovely breakfast of ginger scones and eggs but I wasn't feeling too well so I stuck with only the scones. My tummy was feeling all gassy and bloated, and I was somewhat queasy so I didn't want to eat much. We left quickly to meet Hope at 10:40 as requested, but I guess there wasn't any sort of hurry and we could have taken our time. We didn't really get down to the fair until half past noon because of everything that needed to get done first. I had part of a Mt Dew on the way there because I was feeling completely drained of energy and even after two or three hours of being up I still didn't really feel quite awake. While at the fair though, the sun was hot and the food was totally unappealing, so I didn't eat anything and I drank only water... still feeling somewhat ill. Milo had a Mellow Yellow, Carl had a Red bull, a water, a sprite, and I'm not sure what else - but by 4pm Carl was sick in the bathroom. :( So, we packed up and headed back to Melissa's. I felt totally exhausted and wiped out after being on my feel for only 3 hours or so at the fair. We all took naps and woke up around a quarter to 8 and had some dinner. I headed back to bed and slept a long time. Plans to stop in Logan on the way home have been cancelled, I don't want to share whatever stomach upset we're all going through with my friends or their baby. This also means I don't particularly want to try stopping by in Ogden to visit with Amie even though I was trying to figure out how to fit that in scheduling-wise. My stomach doesn't feel 100% yet, but probably about 80% better.
All-in-all, I think I got a bit of exercise in walking around the greenbelt and in putting around at the fair. Not sure how effective it all was though.
