Hooray for Good Days ;-)

I was still mind-fogged this morning, and my back continues to give me the shingle-tingles, but by this evening I was starting to ooze bits and pieces of productivity (particularly after I'd recovered from traveling in an air-conditionless car during a heat advisory).

*I've been doing some background reading for the missionary story at Family Camp. Two-thirds through a book started today...hoping to finish it tonight.

*Carolyn and Trevor baked up the cookies we're required to bring, and then she drove me to Iowa Falls for grocery shopping.

*Stopped by Goodwill for the first time since early June. Found enough shorts and T-shirts for the boys to look respectable. I have two lads that are pert near blind to stains and dirt, so they've been warned, under no circumstances, are they to wear these clothes before Thursday. I even took the unusual step of washing their "new" clothes, as well as three sets of sheets.

*After an exhilarating 3.5 miles on the treadmill--during which I saw part of Leap of Faith with Steve Martin (interesting)--we ironed out some details with our special music. THAT was a relief. Things weren't quite settled but now...now I can relax a tiny bit.

Tomorrow Ethan and I will start on the side lawn to whack it down to size before camp. He's also going to fry up 2 pounds of bacon and I will cook up 3.5 pounds of chicken. Carolyn has another load of cookie bars as well as cupcakes. A simple dry pancake mix and we should be all set for the camp food.

I feel somewhat less crunched.
