My fitbit can tell you that I have been busy. My usual laid-back, almost lazy days find me lucky to have a little over 2,000 steps in a day. Recently it is closer to 4,000 per day and sometimes more.
I am leaving in a little over 36 hours for a two week adventure. I will be flying from Philly to Fairbanks, AK by way of Minnesota and Anchorage, AK. I will be spending a week with Rob and Kate. My adventures will include attending a harvest party and dye event with Kate where I will be using natural plants to create yellow dyes. I had to find protein based fibers, so I have one pure silk scarf and two wool/silk blends. Anxious to see how they turn out. I will also be tagging along for some Tai Chi sessions that Rob and Kate teach and there are plans to get to Chena Hot Springs and a museum that highlights old cars and clothing. So it will be a fun-packed week.
On September 11 I will fly from Fairbanks directly to Minneapolis to spend a week with my son, Brian. He will likely be working the entire week, so I will quietly be reading, watching TV and sleeping until he gets home and I am not sure what fun he might have in mind. But I do want to get to the fabric warehouse that he showed me last year. I want to do some shopping for fabric options for my projects at the OBX. I will be flying home on September 18th.
While I am away, Deb Scott will be staying at the house and taking care of Winston and Miles. I met her through GriefShare. Rob & Kate really thought once I got the dogs that I would not be back to visit. But if this thing with Deb works out, I will try and visit as often as I can.
But since Deb was coming, I have been doing some deep cleaning that I have not done for a while. There is no one here who cares how fastidious I am about cleaning. And now, with Miles, who sheds, I am finding corners with built up dog fur, so I am going to have to do a better job at at least vacuuming in the future.
It may still not be perfect, but it is much neater than it has been in quite a while. It is probably perfect timing. I will be heading out to the OBX two weeks after I get back. Then a few weeks after that, I will be having the surgery to have my left knee replaced. So, at least I will have some of the deeper cleaning finished.
Check in as I travel. I will keep you updated on the fun or relaxation that I am enjoying.
