It was a lot of driving but I'm back home after delivering my son to his university town again and getting him moved into the house he'll share with three others. They sound like nice computer-geek guys, with one nursing student in the mix. It was an expensive trip, the shift from dorm room to house, but hopefully I won't have to move any more of this stuff until two years pass.

We talked about some of the stuff here at the house that I'd like to unload - and some that is in his room that I'll ask him about because while I don't think he cares I'll feel better to get his okay.

I'll clean the truck in the morning. It's full of bottles and ice tea cups from fast food places. And the last stop at Dairy Queen in Abilene offered up a dose of road food revenge. I could feel my gut churning as I was a few miles from the house - and it still churns. I suspect they put packaged shredded lettuce on the grilled chicken sandwich. It is treated with something to keep it from wilting or turning brown. Something that doesn't agree with me.

A load of laundry is ready to go, work week starts tomorrow, and plans are in my head soon to be acted upon to clear out some of the extra furniture here. A futon or sofa couch will go, offering a way to rearrange some of the other kind of crowded furniture. And maybe I can get rid of an old CRT tube TV that my son doesn't use any more (was here for games only).

There might be Mudcat company rolling through town this week. Incentive to get things cleared up around here!
