I’ve been busy doing other things besides blogging today – mainly running errands, getting groceries, getting things packed to go into the car, doing laundry – because VACATION, BITCHES!

One of my stops was to my friendly local REI store (which has a greeter now – presumably to tell people to wear masks) to buy something to help wage battle against something that is nigh invulnerable, mighty, and yells “Spoon!” when it attacks.

Hopefully those darn ticks think twice about trying to take any of my blood!

If I’m able to check in with this blog site at any point during my trip, I will!
