I got sick yesterday.
Heidi, Logan, Chazz and I spent the day near Snoqualmie pass. We snowshoed up the commonwealth basin trail. The trail was pretty difficult - steep and winding. And the day was very cold - about 20 degrees. However, it was clear and sunny. The scenery was beautiful - it is one of the best trails I've seen for snowshoeing. Heidi and I agred we could only go out an hour before we turned back. We were worried Logan would get too cold. We used the rain cover for one of his strollers to rigg up a cover for the backpack that would keep him warmer. As it turned out, Chazz was the one who seemed to have the most problems with the hike - his paws were bothering him.
We had lunch at the ski area in the basement "brown bag" room. I had a burrito with sour cream.
After that we went to look at the cabin I had seen for sale online. It was about 20 minutes from the end of the plowed road in a small cluster of other cabins. Sadly, it was right next to the freeway. Not exactly wilderness living.
On the way home I started to feel tired and a little nausious. By the time we got home I was feeling very bad. I went upstairs and climbed into bed, shivering. Heidi brought up Logan and asked me to watch him while she searched for her diabetes stuff in the car - it was all I could do to keep him from falling off the bed! Moments after Heidi came back upstairs I threw up - repetedly - into our garbage can.
I had some hope that this was food poisioning, but later I learned that Heidi's parents were also sick. Now I'm hoping Logan had this first.
