While I am doing better, I don't have what it would take to rip and tear. I collected laundry, set it in the washroom. Made a bite to eat, using up bacon that would otherwise have potentially gone bad and a few eggs. Then I set up for washing the dishes. Breaks here and there. Five or ten up, ten to twenty down. It's the only way I will reasonably get it done. It might be the only way to do it. A day of work for you is a marathon for me. I do have my first load going, dishes in a soak, and the recycling ready to go. I have started assembling any trash. I may have to, from packing and such, take another load of trash out as I go, and to clean out the fridge. But that's all good.
I'll have to do whatever, with microsoft, on Monday, if possible. I have a bit to do that day, if I can get up early enough or stay up. An oil change and check, plus tire rotation. Buying steaks, looking for a 10x10 tent or even shelter, and... probably some other stuff. While I don't think Walmart would have anything substantial, there are a number of outdoor places. Hardware stores probably won't carry that either. Just thinking.
This time around I don't really have as much of a clue. I don't have lists, not half of the planning that I put into the thing last time. But I learned a lot from last time. Don't overpack! The less you take, and the more of it you use, the less of a job you have when you return home, as well. I still haven't gotten into the spirit of the thing, just showing up, eating, having a sip, and leaving. No connections have, or probably will be, formed. No goofing. Then again I am doing about what I can do in those regards. A turtle at a dance festival just isn't... going to do much. But I enjoy, and I get out. Beats being in the cave all of the time. And, who knows, this one might launch me into more activity this summer, including more hiking, possibly camping, and other things.
Yeah, a bit at a time. I have an hour until the first load of laundry is done. I will take a load of trash out then, reset the trash can, handle the laundry, then... rest for an half hour. Then hit the dishes, though there aren't many so that should be quick. Then rest until the next load of laundry. Here and there, a bit at a time. As I am folding clothes I will be sorting what of that I want to take. Mostly shorts, though if it is as cool as it has been around here, I might be wise to take two pair of long pants and maybe a couple of pair of long underwear. I'll have rain gear in my pack, and will probably take an extra poncho. Oh, crap, I need a ground cloth for my tent, or a tarp that I am sure is big enough. A 10x10 should be big enough, it can just be folded under. It just helps in case of rain. I have no idea what to expect, that way, or what the land is like in general. Good camping spots or not.
Bleh! I have no idea if phone service works there, come to think of it, so I'm not sure how to hook up with the Cat couple. No idea. He suggests that there will only be several thousand there, and I know what his RV looks like, mostly. Meh, I'm not going to worry too much, with the givens. Hmm... music, while I rest.
There is always something else, isn't there? No matter how much or how little you do, or think you need to, account for, there is always one other thing. Neurosis. I just blather, then ignore, much of it. I can only do just so much. And I can't swear that I will even do as much as I can do. But then, what are the limits, on anyone? Just... do what I do and not worry so much elsewise.
Later.
Several hundred, actually.
ReplyDeleteDaisycat seems to think there will be time to play cribbage. I can assure her that I will have no time for such, with burners to meet and party with. But if you are in camp resting, recovering, or gathering strength to go out, you may end up with as much cribbage as you can stomach. :D
Phone service ought to be okay. We're only about 20 miles outside a small town. Email me if your cellphone number has changed since BMan.
Cribbage is quite possible. One of my favored games o' chance. Hard to find players, actually. That should work out.
ReplyDeleteGood on the phone. I haven't set blogging up for email, haven't messed with that and don't really have time to figure it out, and further, on this type of trip, have zero interest. If I do something while out camping, even solo, will take a journal. My phone will be off.
