I got up and got moving this morning. I did exercises, but didn’t walk. And I started gathering my gear so I can get packed for the weekend’s trip.
Seemed like a lot of meetings today at work.
I did a load of laundry today. And ran the dishwasher. But there are some things on the floor that I’m just not picking up. I’m stepping around a box because I have no motivation to tear it down and put it where it goes. I know at some point the motivation will appear and I’m okay with waiting.
I’ve got my meals planned out and snacks selected. The plan is to hike out two miles from the Kennally Creek Campground for Thursday night. I’ll get to camp late, but that shouldn’t be too bad. I might have to pitch the tent in the dark, but that won’t be the first time that I’ve done that. Not even my first time doing that solo. On Friday, I’ll hike out to either Blackmare or Stump Lake. I suppose I could do one night at one and one night at the other, but I’m more inclined at this point to have a lake day where I don’t have to do anything but camp chores. Either lake is good for that.
Tomorrow, before I leave town, I’ll be stopping by to feed my friend’s dog in town, and water some of her plants. I haven’t really decided what to do about dinner. I could try to leave right at 5 and get something on the way, or eat at home first. Ooh, maybe I’ll make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and eat that on the road. And an apple. Yes. I think that’s the plan. I’ll aim to finish packing the car by the end of my afternoon break if not sooner. The pack should be packed and by the door as soon as possible tomorrow morning.
The hot springs was nice this evening. I was very social, with both regulars and visitors. And just as I’m getting out of the tub after a nice long soak, I get stung by a wasp. Or possibly a hornet. I didn’t get a good look at it. It just hurts, and it’s on the inside of my big toe so I can’t really see it. I had to ask others to look for a stinger. They didn’t see it in there, so I took some Benadryl when I got home, and I’ll take another before bed along with applying hydrocortisone to the site. For now, it still hurts.
