Driving, etc
Much driving this week.
Monday rehearsal ran long, and I had to do some grocery shopping on the way home, so the 96-23 interchange was closed when I got there, and I got to do the detour in the dark. Fortunately, it was very well signed, and I knew how to get home from where I was anyway, but it still took an extra 20 minutes to get home. Fifteen minutes after I got home, the skies opened up and it rained hard for about an hour.
Tuesday, I got a later-than-I-wanted start on my trip to NC to visit Mum. And then it rained most of the way through Ohio. And it was cool -- I didn't ever turn the air conditioning on in the car, and didn't even take my sweatshirt off until I was into NC. I spent Wed & Thur with Mum, not doing much. There were two parties on Wednesday (the June birthday and the From Michigan), and I went to both. We went to the NC Zoo Thursday morning when it was cool --it's a very nice zoo. I will go back! I came home Friday, in hopes of avoiding the rain. It didn't work. I got rained on for most of Ohio, and northbound has more construction delays than southbound. I spent about 30 minutes standing still at the VA/WV border, and was slowed around Columbus, such that it took about an hour longer to come north than to go south.
Next week, I get more driving, as I have rehearsal in Farmington on Monday, a concert on Thursday, and a concert on Sunday. Well, if it doesn't rain. It's raining and cool right now.
The garden is getting away from me, between travel and rain - the rain both makes the weeds happy and makes it hard to get into the garden because the ground is too wet. J has been doing drywall, but the books are still heaped in the nook.
