Hi everyone! My dance performance went well Friday and there was a live band after, so I got more dancing in. Friday was also payday, but this will be an ugly month. Long term care insurance annual premium is due and I have to buy tickets to Mobile.
My weekend plans got changed in a hurry! DD17 was in CO with her other family, so I thought I had a free weekend and planned accordingly. They got back early, so she came early, arriving just after I got the cats back from clinic. Since I went from there to an RV place, she came with me. I'm glad she did because her input caused me to change my "selection". (Selection is in quotes because I did not BUY anything, my task that day was to set a savings goal). I want an R-POD 172 (

The next chore on camper-quest is a visit to my financial planner for either a bucket of cold water on all this or a plan to achieve it.
DD did like the massive clear out of her room in preparation for its repainting. Sunday's plan was a bike ride with a friend that turned into a hike. It was one of DD's favorite people, so adding her was not a problem. A good time was had by all. This same friend is putting together a campout and I realized that it was a weekend that the x had not requested, so I requested that time. Well, the x said he had a camping trip planned that weekend and he had told me he wanted it. I seriously doubt that, because when we went over scheduling he WATCHED ME PUT HIS AND MY TIMES IN MY DAYRUNNER!!! No, he is just being a turkey. His solution is to have DD decide where she wants to go, which I think is a terrible thing to do to her. She is leaning toward going with me. We will be two people in an eight person tent vs five people in a popup camper, one of whom is her stepbrother. I'm worried she will choose me and the x will make her life a misery for it, despite claiming to be ok with whatever she decides.
My recommendation for
Harriet on facing an onslaught of visitors: maid service! You have enough to deal with, hire this out.
