Life is uneventful. I am using the internet at Hastings, which is across the street from Trudy's house. I would like to clarify that despite the fact that it is across the street, I still drove, after my 3 mile run at the park. It's complicated. Anyhow, I am laboring through a raspberry Italian soda because I think it's rude to go somewhere to use the internet and not buy anything, so I picked something cheap and "light", but I always forget that Italian sodas taste funny. I also attempted to order the women's Bible study book from amazon because Hastings does not have it, but Amazon got suspicious that I wanted to change the shipping address and asked for all my bank info again which I do not have at the moment. Darnit. While I am here I also plan to rent a movie to watch while I go to sleep, because I am currently alone in the house (in the basement) and it freaks me out, thereby making sleep elusive. Work was productive today. This morning I helped someone enter paperwork into the computer, found out what the problem was with the SPOT locator tracking link, and rebagged food into smaller increments. Mostly boring. This afternoon we "threw" all the food for the 20 day teen girls' course that leaves this weekend. I would just like to say that I would not want to be carrying that much weight at the beginning of their backpacking section. They have to carry 12 days worth of food and that's a LOT! After loading up the van with mountain stuff for the first 40/40 transfer tomorrow we got to go home. Hooray! Not overly exciting but we were at least busy and I had some nice laughs with my coworkers. Love you and miss you all!

PS: I don't feel like proofreading this so if there are mistakes PLEASE don't tell me about them.
so... how are these food-drops packaged that animals don't eat it all before the people get there? sorry you are freaked about the house... I will pray for angels to surround you and ease your mind! when does RJ get back? shall I pray for "events"? any fires up your way?
ReplyDeleteThe food drops are done when teams are there to directly receive them so the animals don't get them. Water drops can be left in wait. We lock the jugs together so no one steels them. Riley gets back Monday, and the owners of my house get back tonight so hopefully I will sleep better. No fires our way, they are still in Colorado, but we see (or saw, I think that one is out now) quite a bit of smoke.
ReplyDeleteYou must have written this before you called late last night. Glad I could be on the other end of the phone to help make sure there were no scary things in the house. I used to be scared to be alone at might but now I just don't care. One benefit of middle age! Are you using the SPOT tracker thing to follow Riley and his group? How does that work? Love you and miss you!
