Happy Thursday!
Today was an abbreviated workday. I opened the booth at 9:00 and left at 1:30 to get ready for my emergency dental appointment up in Ellsworth. I didn't feel too bad about leaving work. Unlike yesterday, we were back in September when it comes to the feel of the crowds. Surely, Jami and Sarah survived without me.
Jake was kind enough to give me a ride. It took us about 40 minutes to get there while I was in and out of Dr. Dickes office in about 25 minutes. Nothing overly exciting about those 25 minutes. I will say, however, I feel eleventy billion times better now that I don't have a wire poking my tongue.
Since I didn't cry at all during the appointment and deserved a reward for that...and to thank Jake for driving me...we stopped my McDonald's. It's been a long time since I had a Big Mac. I thoroughly enjoyed consuming it, but I think I can go back to not eating fast food for another extended stretch.
Instead of coming back to the dorm with Jake, I had him drop me off at a trailhead off of Route 3. I then took advantage of the 3 remaining daylight hours to do a hike back to the JPH. As you can see from the pictures, it was fairly awesome.
This evening a couple of us were hanging out in the employee dorm when Jake walked in and announced that tonight and tomorrow night it'd be possible to see the northern lights. A group of seven of us assembled and loaded up into the dorm van to drive up Cadillac Mountain. We arrived at the summit to see no northern lights but about eleventy billion stars in the sky. The night sky was gorgeous, but the wind was chilling. We only lasted about 10 minutes and then we headed back to the dorm.
