Day 7 Sadie’s Journal
Today was full of extremes: highs and lows, pleasure and pain, ice and fire (okay, not *literal* ice and fire, but Abby always says I love a poetic metaphor).
Highs/lows:
I rappelled down the side of a (literally quite high) cliff!!
Hit an emotional low while dangling from said cliff
Fought through it, finished rappelling, not sure I’ve ever been so proud of myself
Pleasure/pain:
This morning in the waterfall cave with Thorn was one of the most romantic things I’ve ever experienced in my ENTIRE LIFE
Tearing a gash through my hand while descending the cliff was one of the most *painful* things I’ve ever experienced (but the pain of Thorn doctoring me up afterward was even worse)
Ice/fire:
Woke up absolutely freezing in my sleeping bag after Thorn’s hot tip
WATERFALL KISS = FIRE
File “searing-hot pain of tending my wound” under fire, too, but not in a good way
Thorn had a rough day, and for a while he was icing everyone out…I feel a bit better now that we’ve talked, but not entirely. Hopefully he’ll continue to thaw out tomorrow because I much prefer the aforementioned fire (of the waterfall kiss variety).
