...or tenting adventures.
Slowly we pack. Most of the day has been spent inching our
way out of home and into a motel. Good
clothes hanging. Can I find my work
apron? No. G packs his meds and computer cables
together. Will we ever be able to find
anything? Though I’m calling this a four
day cruise on the beach, it isn’t.
We were off to a local
motel, but they were just very rude to G on the phone. After a brief break and online, we are now tucking into a cheaper and polite Extended
Stay up on the Valley rim. We are not
alone; Imagine 400 other folks trying to find a place to stay for four days…all
at once. If I weren’t mildly depressed
by the packing, I’d find that amusing. Boxes,
bags, and suitcases litter the house. If
it might be going in our mouths, double bag it.
Spices packed by drawer, and ditto my jewelry. We just bagged everything in both bathrooms. Simple.
I’m trying to remember the
things we use every day. Coffee cups? I use a spoon and tall glass for my evening
meds. Bowls for breakfast and snacks. Every time I think we have everything, I
remember something else. Coffee maker?
Grumpy is now empty and
just waiting for the myriads of boxes and suitcases to fill him up again. We double AA’s are off into the Valley with
our AAA discount. Taking a trip?
Lots of work. Hope you remember everything you need. Take care.
ReplyDeleteBlithering nuisance. We need to do this but keep putting it off.
ReplyDeleteIt is usually only annoying if you forget something you use everyday. You can probably substitute or do without. Yes, it is not a vacation and at our age "adventure" does not excite. Just keep telling yourself "I am not a refugee leaving my war torn home."
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming your building is being treated for termites?
ReplyDeleteWhat a misery to be roared out like this, but. Needs must. Kudos to you for keeping a positive attitude. This too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pain, this getting ready for tenting. Been there, did that a couple of times. Just know that things will be better once you're back in your home and everything is back in its proper space. Hugs of patience to you and G.
ReplyDeleteIf we forget to bring something, there are stores a block away.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pain. Hope you find ways to enjoy yourselves.
ReplyDeleteDang! I would have put you up at my house!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I'm dreading having our house tented some day. No fun at all.
