Sunday, August 15, 2021 – Laundry, Mending and Prep Day

Hey Darlin’!
Had an absolutely fabulous night sleep last night, temps were perfect for that! After chores I started my first load of laundry, then went and filled up the tank again because I had three more loads to do. It was a perfect day, no clouds, lots of sun, nice breeze, and since I had full propane tanks I decided to get all of my laundry done, four loads total. It was very busy in the campground but there were sites across from me that were empty to I put my laundry line up across the posts in both of them, enough space for everything! I had one last mending job I wanted to do, on the hay bags. The grommets where the string goes through came out ages ago, shortly after I got them, and they were getting progressively worse, so I decided to sew all the grommets back in to make them last a bit longer. Not an easy job, a lot of the grommets where horribly squished into weird shapes, and it took awhile to get the job done, which I did in between putting up and taking down laundry. Just as I was taking down my last bit of laundry, Dan showed up unannounced, but I finished that job and went back to grommet mending while he chatted away. He brought a couple of pasties, he heard I liked them from the UP last time we were here, and I was going to heat them up for dinner when he got a call that he had to pick up his ex-wife from a hospital (mental, I think) and take her home. He has a lot of family problems I won’t get into, way too much negative baggage, not a lot of fun, sorry to say. Anyway, he asked me to wait until seven-ish for dinner, so I had to have a snack of carrots since I hadn’t eaten since breakfast. Then at seven he texts me to say it’s now more like eight and I said don’t bother, I had too much to do. I just can’t eat that late anymore, especially not something heavy like a pastie. Meanwhile, I finished a lot more of my packing up, got most everything put away, and got the truck lined up and partially hitched (stopped when it was level) so I had no intention of having company after eight. We might meet up after I move to Brighton, but it doesn’t really matter one way or another. Finally settle down with some shrimp ramen instead, watched a bit of TV, now I’m exhausted and ready for shower and bed. Good night, sweetie! Love you!
