Yesterday the bed arrived and we managed to get almost everything done AND still leave town well-rested at a reasonable hour.
I went to bed with an aching back (because it's hard work to take apart a queen bed and schlep it to the dumpster with the five-foot-high rim), and we had to shift around a bit to get comfortable, but part of that was that we were finally able to share a bed again after some time. And we woke up feeling good -- my back didn't hurt at all, and neither did Jodi's.
We made it through Waldo and Lawtey without being pulled over (I imagined that my 'imagine no GOP' license plate might have caused a radar gun to malfunction) and are now sitting around with
Jodi's uncle Jimmy at Panera, having had a light lunch. We'll probably meet my aunt Linda at
Penzey's Spices to pick out a wedding gift for her daughter (and because I've been looking forward to going to a Penzey's store for a while now).
We'll be hanging out with family for most of the weekend, so my access to the Internet may be limited by etiquette. (I say this less as an apology or a warning than as a gripe -- but when I'm with them I probably won't even want to be online.) I'll post photos later, I'm sure.
