Lack of focus

It was a dark and foggy morning and one of the butchers over at the plum was wearing a cardboard box on his head🤣

The day slid slowly sideways from there. I mean *glacially* slowly. The GG took something like FIVE HOURS to decide if he was going to go to the Hoton Lake Group Home today or not. I could’ve cut the vibes his indecision emitted with a knife and that interfered with my ability to concentrate on my job. It was *not* a productive work day.

The “group home” is what we sometimes call his family’s “cabin”. At least I’ve always called it a “cabin” because that’s what I call *my* family’s cabin. Others call it a “cottage”. Actually, after his parents died and he and his siblings rebuilt, it is really a “house”. Modern heat and insulation and two bathrooms and even a dishwasher. I am gonna call it a cabin for the moment.

In the end, the fact that several siblings were there or on their way got him to pack a whole bunch of crapola into Mooon Yooonit and take off. I could’ve gone too but I wasn’t really prepared to quickly pack and jump in the car.

I kinda regret not making myself jump. My cFam out-laws are the absolute best! During the year or so that my brother and dad died, they provided many good family vibes for me. Not that I didn’t still have good family vibes of my own but it was always nice to land at the cFam cabin from wherever and be greeted with exuberantly and warmly by a bigger family than mine. Flote bote (pontoon boat) ride to the tiki bar? Yes! Load the bote, sink or flote!

Then came covid and we didn’t gather at the cabin for a while. And I kind of got out of the habit of going there. (I *have* been there a few times.) I miss my out-laws and I guess I will have to up my game.

That flood is/was in my back yard today after hours of heavy rain. That water is probably a few inches deep. I was wearing sandals so I didn’t test it out. Last I looked (hours later) it was snowing/sleeting/whatever to beat the band. Our driveway was almost completely clear of ice after yesterday’s 40 degree temps. Here we go again.

    Is the group home close to your cabin? I always thought it was. Isn’t it terrifically cold and snowy up there? I guess if the GH has heat and all the modern conveniences it doesn’t matter what the conditions are. I wouldn’t enjoy a long drive with snow coming in though. Or any drive!
