We had eight guests for the 24th and 25th. That meant 10-12-hour days. I’m exhausted. I’m so tired. I don’t think I’ve ever been this stressed before. I do not like being in charge, but unless I quit there’s no way out.

Saw a moose at breakfast. I called home for Christmas. I almost cried afterwards. Then Isaiah said something kind and I lost it. I was fine after that. The worst part was that Mom had paid extra to get me a package by Christmas (she never does that) and I had to tell her that I hadn’t gotten it and also that we weren’t doing anything special for Christmas. She wanted me to have a special day and I had to disappoint her. That was hard.  Tuesday, December 19, 2006
Yesterday morning, it was -20*F. I’ve been doing some sledding.* I still don’t have enough weight to turn them. Yesterday, I drove part of the way back from Slide Lake where we went to get David’s stuff. He’s the new cook and came yesterday. Monday morning and Sunday afternoon, I saw a moose. I saw an eagle on Sunday, too. *Driving a snowmobile  Tuesday, December 12, 2006
Off today. Farley disappeared for two nights and two days. When it started to snow, we found her in her hole under Cabin 6. Last night, I saw my first shooting star. Exhilarating!  Friday, December 8, 2006
I went home November 20-December 1. I visited friends in South Carolina on Tuesday. Both sets of family were over for Thanksgiving. Mom did a good job preparing. Everyone seemed happy. I spent the week shopping and hanging out. I saw the James Bond movie. Went to an art show. Took a walk with Mom the day before I left. She got a cold afterwards. All week was balmy and in the 60*-70*F. I was in sandals and short sleeves. Everyone else debated if they needed jackets. The first tour was on Wednesday. Wes cooks. Keith left on Sunday. We had a tour yesterday and today. I came back to a fat, silky Farley. I’m in charge - lucky me. I get to call Filip every day and spend hours in his smoke. Yesterday, a pipe cracked in Sam’s room. We had no water in the barn last night. Isaiah patched the pipe today, so we can turn on the water. At least now I can tell Filip that we had a problem and fixed it. He’ll still be mad, but at least we have a temporary fix. |
