AWOL

I'm going away again this week. Technically, it's not AWOL so much as RUN AWAAAYY! This is our annual multi-family stay at a rental house.

We're leaving this afternoon. I haven't packed anything yet. My list for the morning looks like this:

• do dishes
• pack clothes
• pack coolers
• to Famous Footwear? (I have no sneakers)
• tidy up kitchen / d. rm.
• put away school supplies
• clean g.p. cage (Sparky, not me)
• take out kitchen trash (also Sparky)
• vac. notes on gmail/home email/work email (if I can)
• call allergist about upping the dosage of Allegra?

We also will need to stop at the grocery store on our way for a few food items I've probably forgotten to grab.

Oh, and we haven't actually talked about what time we're meeting the rest of the group, so I should call them this morning as well.

I've been awake since 5 a.m. (DAMN ALLERGIES!) and have accomplished nothing except catching up the memes. So this is my sign-off. Not sure if we'll have 'net access--probably not--so I'll catch ya'll up next week. Here's a blessing for the duration:

May peace abide with you,
and within yourself foster a limitless concern for every living creature.
Be honest and trustworthy, not profit-mongering at the expense of your values.
Work and dream.
