Monday, February 5: Didn’t ski but did walk to the village with Mr. K to get the mail. The apres scene outside the newest restaurant was subdued thanks to low weekday crowds and slightly gloomy conditions.

 
Tuesday, February 6: Did ski. Continue to enjoy the views even though I’ve seen them and seen them. It’s never exactly the same as any other time.

 
Wednesday, February 7: Put on a set of fake nails, the first time I’d done anything besides clear treatment coat in a long time.

 
Thursday, February 8: Drove across Washington state for a long weekend in Seattle taking craft classes. Left early enough that I was able to stop at the viewpoint by the Columbia River. (It was technically closed, but easy enough to park by the gate and walk closer to the river.)

 
Friday, February 9: I had some time before the welcome party for my weekend classes so did some tourist stuff, namely parking by the Space Needle and walking to the Pike Place Market and back before my timed ticket for the Chihuly glass exhibit allowed me to enter. Yes, these were things I’d done before but there’s a comfort in that when traveling alone. I did go into a store in between the two that I’d not been to before; it had all purple stuff so of course when I saw it on my walk back I had to go in.

 
Saturday, February 10: Treated myself to a late lunch at the conveyor belt sushi place with the robots that deliver beverages.

 
Sunday, February 11: I’d been fortunate to not get rained on until this day before I was to drive home. It was already spring outside my hotel.
