Jul. 10th, 2015 01:21 pmScott's parents are coming soon to do some yardwork. The weather is excellent for it. I just hope they don't overdo or get overwhelmed. I think Scott's father wants to work on the trees growing between the garage and the fence and to mow the lawn. I think Scott's mother wants to work on my raised beds (she said they were hoping to bring some coleus, and there really isn't anywhere else to put that).
Scott might have to work late tonight, and we're kind of hoping that he will because the alternative is going in early tomorrow which might turn into having to stay for twelve hours. We're supposed to be at the vacation house some time between 4:00 and 5:00 tomorrow, if we can, and if Scott's working until 3:00, we won't get there until around bedtime. It's about a two hour drive, and if Scott works, I don't see any way we could leave any earlier than 6:00. We might very well leave later.
This will be troublesome because Scott and I are supposed to have first pick of the rooms in order to get something that will accommodate my bad ankle. I don't see the rest of the family waiting that late to select rooms (if nothing else, the four year old may need to go to bed before we get there). It would also mean that Scott and I wouldn't get a chance to put in any requests on the list for the grocery shopping expedition. At least, it's only supposed to be a ten minute drive to the store. Last time we did this, it was half an hour, so that, if we forgot anything, we pretty much had to do without.
I need to call my aunt and uncle and probably email my cousin again to make sure that everybody has and will use my cell number. I don't want them trying to reach me and unable to because they keep calling our landline. My father has my cell number but it's 50-50 as to which number he'll use when he tries to call. I also need to talk to them to find out exactly where Grandma is going to be. My cousin told me that his best friend's wife is the daytime manager for the rehab place where Grandma will be and that her mother is on the staff at night, but he didn't tell me the name of the place or what town it's in or anything concretely useful.
I want to run the dishwasher before we go, whether it's full or not. I just don't see anything good coming of leaving the dirty dishes in there while we're gone. Most of our laundry is done (some still needs to go in the dryer). We had pizza for dinner last night, and there's enough left to feed us tonight. That way, we won't be leaving leftover chicken or turkey burgers or whathaveyou.
I wrote up a call for volunteers for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
metanews and posted it yesterday. As far as I know, we haven't gotten any responses yet, but anything sent to the Gmail account goes to the other moderator, so maybe someone has talked to her. I also wrote up but didn't post an explanation of what we do and don't link to. I think we need a more up-to-date mission statement, and we definitely need to edit the information on the community profiles. That lists people as working on the newsletter who've been gone for many months.
