Just a little check in to show that we haven't fallen apart completely. We've been living vicariously in every way through these Olympics. The victories buoy us in these hard times and, for me, I seem to absorb the losses as though they are my own. But all in all, other than feeling utterly helpless in how physically terrible I feel, I have really enjoyed the energy of this whole party. It is an electric thing to walk streets papered in red and white, to see Canadians pressing forward and demanding their moments of glory. I only wish I had more energy to enjoy the festivities...but sleep and eating and general wellness are not making that easy. But we've made it to a few things and Nahanni got to go to a Victory ceremony where she danced her heart out and had an absolute ball and it has been wonderful to watch her awaken to the magic of the games. So far she wants to be a ski jumper...and a ballerina.
