Howdy! Nice campout. Rained this morning starting about 3:00, but I had gone to the bathroom at 2:00, so we were fine. Also, before we went to bed, I loaded up everything other than our tent, bedding, and clothes, so we packed out in the rain pretty easily.

Showered, breakfasted, coffee!, and the wash is in the dryer already. “Are my long pants clean?” asked Pat upon emerging from his bed of repose. “No, none of you seems to have done laundry all weekend, so they’re in the basket where you left them. They can go in the next load in 17 minutes.”

Twerp. At least DP took the Student Driver on an excursion yesterday.

High, they’re!

We’re supposed to have rain, cold and all kinds of stuff and I suspect tomorrow will be a very cold drive into the “city” for the appointment. Not to mention even colder when I go to wash clothes in the wee small hours because the wind will be blowing “between 30 and 40 mph.” That should make the wind chill delightful.

I said for years that my kids had their roles reversed: Favorite Son could have a meal on the table when he was 14, sort and start the laundry, do the housework, etc., and Favorite Daughter couldn’t seem to get out of bed.

Right now, it’s just cold and the sun is trying to come up over the crest of the butte, but no wind or clouds, yet. Since it’s been quite a long time with no rainfall, any change in the weather will be welcome. Sorta.

I have another load of stuff for the thrift store, but I want to add to it before I load it into the truck.

Some things got done yesterday, though I realized this morning that in addition to the CFIDS, the ADHD is active. It seems the older I get the worse it becomes. I had about 25 — 30 years where it was fairly mild, but now, my brain feels like it did when I was a kid. My maternal grandmother had it, and now, about 85% of her descendants have it. It’s a terrible thing to “share.”
