Drying out

The rain is gone because the cold front passed through. Of course they call it a cold front for a reason. Today in the 50's and tomorrow morning in the high 30's. Glad I brought the sweats and vest and coat and such.

I have no real plan today, which is the day I really have been waiting for.... maybe read something, or write, or rithmatic. Just sit in the sun when it warms up a bit. I am almost out of fresh food, so I may go to some local store. Or not.

There is so little time in the normal flow to just act on the spur of the moment. We have lots of choices, but they are always tightly confined within the constraints of taking care of the house, doing things we promised to do, getting to the place we said we would be.

I have paid for four nights here, and have spent two. So, within the constraint of 48 hours until I leave, I am unfettered. It is a nice place to be.

I'm thinking exercise. Not because i like it, but because I need it. Another constraint, but a very general one, and the house I carry with me needs some little bit of care, too. Lots of beautiful land around, and a couple of trails I can hop on. Don't know how much energy I will have, after weeks of sitting behind the wheel and in the libraries. We'll see. Then there is the laundry. Maybe tomorrow.
