Must Be Soggy Camping Today

It's Sunday, Labour Day long weekend. We've been helping David, Richard's brother move to a new place. This will be his first time away from home and he's very positive about the change. He will have quite a bit of work to do unpacking and getting all his stuff sorted out. On Tuesday he is starting at a different McDonald's closer to where he's now going to be living. Stella, his caregiver, is going to do travel training with him tomorrow so he'll know how to get to work and back.

David moving is just another of the changes this fall brings. Richard will be working all next week. He will be the guy who has to get up and make a lunch and head off. It will be interesting because all weeks won't necessarily be like that, although he was pretty booked up last year.

I had another anxiety dream last night but it wasn't about teaching! I take this to be a very good sign. It was something about singing in the opera chorus which I don't think I'll be doing any time soon.

The weather today is grey, rainy and cool. It's a rather gentle rain so maybe it will soak into the lawn. I think it's supposed to be a bit warmer tomorrow. I don't have any complaints though. We're in the house, warm and dry and not in a tent. It's amazing how many times I say to myself that I'm glad I'm not in a tent. I think all that wilderness camping we did has made me much more appreciative of our nice cozy house. Not that we minded the camping; it was fun. It's just that I always have that experience in the back of my mind and I often think of how comfortable my existence is compared to what it could be, even if the discomfort when we were camping was voluntary.

The adventure continues.
