Spent some time yesterday crying thru a few camper decluts. Hardi had to hep out to keep me level. (New meds for BP have some weird side effects I am told will stabilize "soon.") The whole house is in arrears while I try to reverse the ship mid-water, with only a little energy and a very small propeller, but I know if I can just get the flow reversed the ship WILL turn and follow a strong current. (Early winter cues is what Hardi and I decided it must be.)

So I skipped the Sat. svc last night in favor of not weeping thru it, and instead put some quality time into the upstairs office which had gone totally nuts on me. We've added a larger mini-fridge up there (seasonal-- from the camper) and the fourth or fifth table to hold it finally worked. I combed thru the stuff that had landed on the desk to make a more inviting return to work-oriented duties this week.

I usually do all camping laundry DURING the camping, but this time a last-minute couple of activities/opportunities pre-empted that chore so I dragged it all home-- NEVER AGAIN! The last of that was done and put away yesterday, in time to resume home laundry.

The van got totally emptied out Friday and reloaded with FreeCycled pallets for a building project; they are out now so we can vac out the sand, etc. in time for some scheduled Sept/Oct boondocking.

Hardi has been on a cleaning jag while I am not looking (best way really), focused it seems on the kitchen. ???
