So I have a bad back this morning... should have figured that I'd end up in this state... I've been lifting and doing things that I really shouldn't be doing in the last few days. I have a batch of herb biscuits in the oven baking and I'm mostly packed except for my personal stuff and the food which I won't pack until the last minute. My back is not so bad that I can't move... but it is really touchy so I'm going to have to be very careful today. No more baking and standing on my feet for more than a few minutes and no more heavy lifting.
Most years I travel by myself in my own vehicle or for the last two years I have traveled with a friend who has been going with me, but this year I find myself in a bit of an odd situation. For the first time ever we decided that the Blueberry retreat was really too short and that we needed to start on Wednesday instead of Friday. This means that if I go by myself then I will be leaving Teapot with no vehicle... which I can't do since he needs it for work. The lady that I usually travel with is not going as she has made a grave mistake of agreeing to do some stupid horse workshop... (can you tell that I'm disgusted... since when do horses take precedence over spinning... : ( hmmm... ). This leaves me high and dry. So another friend is going to town today so I'm hitching a ride with her as far as town and then hooking up with another friend who will be going to Blueberry... then I'm doing the same thing coming back... I'm really feeling the one vehicle thing today... I would have liked to be out of here by 1 p.m. in my own vehicle with my own stuff and not having to lift it and reload in the middle... very inconvenient... I am thinking that I might like to look into buying a new vehicle... a nice little second hand one. Hmm...!
Still there is quite a list of stuff to be done before I go... thank God Teapot cooks... or I would have to be doing that for them too...
I hope to have pics ready when I get back.. see ya Monday...
