We had a nice dinner last night. The food all turned out OK although I thought the ham was too sweet. I used the glaze packet that came with it and wished I hadn’t. Not sure when we will see Jim’s brothers again. They both have long drives ahead of them today and in to Monday.
We have taken another lazy day in the cabin. It has rained most of the afternoon although the sun has peaked out now. We have had a fire in the fireplace and have been working on a puzzle. A perfect activity for a rainy day.
I did laundry late morning. The laundry mat was empty so it was a good time to go. Always feels good to have that job taken care of. I don’t think I will have to do laundry again before we leave but will have lots to do when we get home.
We will probably go take a long walk in a bit. We both need to get some fresh air and stretch our legs. I have been sitting way too much the last couple of days. Need to take advantage of this cool air and walk while we can. Only three more full days here before we have to head back to KS.
Both of us are ready to go home. I almost wished we had only stayed three weeks instead of four. We don’t want to leave early and have to pay for an empty cabin so we will stay until Wednesday but we thought about it for about a minute.
Tomorrow we have a park pass at noon. Hope the weather cooperates so we can take a hike tomorrow afternoon. We shall see. The forecast isn’t looking good at this point.
I have had a bit of a headache all day today. Thinking it is related to my sinus issues. Sure hoping that when I get home whatever I have been allergic to will not be in KS. I’m tired of blowing my nose. It is getting very sore and tender.
We are having hamburgers for dinner so that will be an easy meal to fix. We have some frozen potatoes that need used up so will fix them too. I am hoping we won’t have to go to the grocery store again before we leave so we may have some interesting combinations to eat to use up what we have in the freezer and refrigerator. Both brothers brought left over stuff to us as they both have such a long drive home they didn’t want to take refrigerator stuff with them.
It has been a restful, relaxing time in the mountains but it is time to go home. I am ready to settle back in at home for the long haul. With the number of cases climbing so fast I don’t think we will be able to do a fall trip like we had planned. Maybe things will turn around and we will be able to do so but not going to count on it. I still think things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.
I’m concerned about all those people that were relying on unemployment to survive. The extra $600 Is going to expire and many will now have to make some very hard decisions about how to survive. My heart goes out to them. I sure wish Congress was a bit more connected to the real world and would have gotten another stimulus bill passed before they went home for a break. I just don’t understand how they can turn there back on so many hurting Americans.
Grateful for another lazy day in the mountains, grateful for puzzles to work on, and grateful laundry is done.
