Did a number of hours worth of driving yesterday, between Bancroft, Apsley, the cottage by the lake, and home. My hip is pretty stiff, and I feel very tired. Good to be home though. I am happy we drove in the evening instead of during the day today. Not much traffic, and all the bridge construction was pretty quiet, and easy going after eight pm last evening. Had a great night’s sleep in my own bed for a change. I currently have two, count them, two dehumidifiers going downstairs now that we are back. They fill up really quickly in all this soupy humidity, so they don’t run long when gone. I don’t keep one going positioned in or near a sink, because I fear it shifting, or the lines popping off spontaneously and flooding the entire lower floor. I’d rather just run two once home, then cut it down to one once the levels are under control, and it feels more manageable. A quirk of mine.
There must have been rain here while we were driving, but we missed every single drop of rain while driving. The storm clouds must have been pushing south west, because I could see clouds glowing in the western distances, but it was at no point directly overhead of us. We followed in its wake once we got as far south as highway seven. We totally forgot that the eastern stretch of the 407 was free now, and didn’t come as far down the 115 to get on it and haul ass home yesterday. Never even crossed my mind as an option. Even though we took it up (I wasn’t driving at that point, my wife was). I just feel like the time saved on the lateral travel across the highway is eaten up by having to go so much lower south to get on it from here, and the added trek back north to get to the junction we normally would use. We never really time things, and if you add in food stops or toilet breaks for the kids the whole timing issue dissolves anyway. We aren’t very scientific about it. Just vibes, and gut feelings at this point.
So what is next? Home now, so lawn care is a must, check the mail box, look around for any damage or build up from storms,and hazardous weather patterns the house encountered while we were away. There will be farm walks, and garlic bulbs to harvest, sort, and dry for sale at the inlaws to deal with if I’m not mistaken. I still have work on the books coming my way – eventually.
I feel tired, and groggy. I should go get some groceries before we get too far into our day. Hope you are all having a wonderfully adequate Thursday in July of the year 2025. I’m still seeing higher than average numbers from our of Germany, that’s four or five days in a row. You lot have really made my week! Thank you very much (danke shcön) . Much appreciated.
