Frantic Time

What a frantic day! The plans changed early this morning. I made breakfast and threw the dishes in the sink to soak while I went to get a hair cut, but, before I could make it out the door, mom called wanting to confirm plans for the day. Thus began - change land. Originally, I was going to get the hair cut, then come back home to clean up the kitchen. New plan. Get hair cut, then head to moms to get an early start in the garage before it got hot. I figured if I got to the barber early in the morning, I would not have to wait long and I'd be on my marry way. Apparently, other folks had the same idea. I got to the barbers around 9:45 and left about 11:30. Delay 1: there's a new thrift shop right next to the barbers - let's check it out, shall we. Bought a cook book and several "experimental" CDs. Hit moms house and had lunch. Then hit the garage to start laundry and check out her new set of wheels. Sorry, didn't think at ALL to get a photo of it. It's a Chevy Cobalt though. Onto the garage. Fun stuff folks. As the afternoon rolled on, got the garage sorted out, got laundry done (except for jeans), and managed to amass a chunk of stuff to bring back home with me. Turns out that most of the stuff in the garage is by brothers! My mom said it would probably take the afternoon just to go through my stuff. Not so folks. Anyways, dinner ensued and I made my way back home to plow through another weeks worth of dishes. All today though, I've been having this kind of stressful sense of urgency and time constraints to get things done. I don't know why. I guess just having a lot to do and doing several things simultaneously.

Tomorrows original plan was to hike more in the Petroglyph National Park, but now the family is going for a hiking trip into the forest in Pecos New Mexico since my mom is not singing in her church choir. Will give more details on the hiking trip tomorrow.

Well, it's nearing 10pm and I'd like to chill on the couch a bit before I hit the sack. I've got to be at moms place around 9:30 tomorrow cause it will be about a 2 hour drive to our destination. Nighty Nite.
