I cleaned 14 years of road dirt out of the tent trailer today. So. Tired. But it looks good. Then I closed it up. It's not the last time--we'll open it up again to give our friends who are buying it a setup/takedown lesson--but it was the last time with it as *ours*. Bittersweet.
BUT that gets us one big step closer to moving it out of the back yard and moving the new trailer in. We pick up the new one tomorrow!!
After cleaning, I took Rigby to the vet for her annual exam and vaccinations. I've also (today and previously) stocked up on food, flea meds, and kitty toothpaste, so she is cleared for launch! I'm really hoping she'll immediately find the new trailer homey and more secure than she found the tent trailer. (Have I mentioned it has walls?!) I trust she'll adapt in any case. What choice does she have?
I was going to wash the exterior of the tent trailer tonight (we have light until 9:30 these days), but I am beat. ¡Mañana!
Instead, I vacuumed out the basement bedroom, which we have been readying for our summer guest, Koyo. He's a student here and a friend of Frank's from Kendo. He'll stay with us for two months, starting next week, until he moves to his new school in North Dakota (brrr). I'm nervous about having someone in our space again, especially given how busy this summer is, but he's extremely nice and Frank and I are both really looking forward to learning more about Nihon.
And now I'm drinking some of the beer our bandmates left as tribute and pondering all the goodness of the weeks ahead, god willing and the creek don't rise.
