Needing a Little Rest-- 休息 ( xiuxi / xiūxi )-- to rest

The day before yesterday, I went snowshoeing at Paradise on Mt Rainier. It was my first time snowshoeing, and I had a fabulous time.

Despite telling myself that I wouldn't pack at the last minute, it happened anyway, and again, it was a miracle that I could make the event at all. However I did make it, and as I was snowshoeing, I discovered that my jacket was of inferior quality. When I took my jacket off, it had soaked through. Also my gloves, they soaked through too.

Next time, I go out into the snow I have to go with an upgraded wardrobe. The snow at Mt Rainier was surprisingly deep, and I wasn't expecting it to be so intense. I guess, I'm learning what to expect from snow.

Now I have a cough, and I hate to admit it, but it's my fault. I slept for 14 hours after work yesterday, and today I've been relaxing because frankly, I need the rest today. (P)
