Just about the only cure for jetlag is sleep — and a lot of it. Today I finally feel back to normal and will probably make it all the way to a normal bedtime. That’s just in time to get ready for a short camping trip this weekend. I’ll take Friday off from work and we’ll head somewhere into the mountains. The main candidate right now is Yellowstone, but Challis also is a possibility. We’ll be working on putting the RV back in shape tonight and will probably make the decision. Bradica (the dog) will have surgery on Thursday to remove a cyst, have her teeth cleaned, and her nails done, so leaving before Friday morning is out of the question. The landscaping guy will also come over Thursday evening to show us some options for doing the yard.

I’m also having some trouble coming to grips with it now being September. This has been a very eventful summer and time has gone by so quickly it’s like there was no summer at all. On the other hand, the cruise to Alaska seems to have been an eternity ago. In less than a month we will be on a cruise boat headed downriver from Budapest and that also seems to have come up very suddenly. Time certainly is relative!

Mom and dad stopped in for a while on Monday morning (Labor Day). Dad needed a few things from Home Depot, so I went over with him to do some shopping myself. What’s a week without a visit to Home Depot! I want to move the refrigerator in the garage to the other side and need to put power over there to plug it in. I’ve now got most of the parts I need to make that move. One more trip to Home Depot should do the trick. Saturday afternoon Nina and I went to Blackfoot to the Eastern Idaho State Fair, along with several thousand other people. The fair was so crowded as to be uninviting. We were there for about three hours before coming home. We both felt we had pictures and other items worthy of entry into the fair. Maybe next year?
