vacations are exhausting!

I packed up on Sunday and in order to ignore some Bad Things(tm) I don't want to go into here, I went to the movie theater for the first time since Tenet to see, of all things . . . Jeffrey Dean Morgan phone in it as a disgraced journalist who unleashes something and then wants to cash in on the miracle maker until oops he grows a conscience. I was very amused by surprise Cary Elwes with a truly horrifying accent, put the monster to shame really. It was still fun to be back in there with like two other people and munching popcorn in my heated recliner.

Got up early on Monday and drove down to Hugo. It's so nice to have a vehicle with air-conditioning and the music I want to listen to coming through the speakers. No trouble, lot of it was pretty. They have real pine trees down there, the kind with the funny looking bare trunks that grow straight up for twenty feet before they start with the branches. I like to visit tall trees to remember they exist. I am however also happy to come home where I can see any invaders on the horizon.

The cabin I stayed in (because there was the chance of bad weather Tuesday) was a nice little two room number. One room had a window unit (it felt like cheating then I said who cares I'm on vacation and turned it on the second night), bed, fireplace, a table and three chairs. It led to a screened in porch which was awesome to have for Pepper to stay in. She was not fond of lounging in the great outdoors. I still constantly thought about monsters in the mist and aliens so solid walls vs a tent didn't really keep the paranoia at bay.

I read, I made good fires, I ate good hotdogs. I'm really glad I went.

I got back yesterday and have been taking it easy before I go to work tomorrow. The cat is loathe to let me out of her sight.



my lovely face. it took forever to get them on the table and behaving. hot dogs! but not the edible kind.


there is a lake back there, i swear. lake views, but no access. poor Dasher was sad and just wanted to swim


home sweet, I was sure I was going to be murdered home.

What a lovely cabin and surround! :D

Now I'm vaxxed, I've been thinking about seeing a movie, but there is literally nothing on offer that I am even vaguely interested in. It's so depressing.

Ah well!

I'm glad you had fun .:D

There aren't a lot of movies on the way at all. Even when/if I unpause my AMC membership, I think it'd be hard to see enough movies to justify having it. Though it'll depend on my work schedule and if they expand their days past only being open on the weekend.

I'm so glad I had fun! I desperately needed a good outing from my house. Visiting my parents is kinda painful (literally worst guestbeds ever) these days and I wanted to go somewhere new.

I'm so glad you weren't murdered by monsters! that does look like a sweet cabin, and the scenery is pretty, even if you couldn't get to the lake

I love the color green, especially right now when it's all brand new leaves and grass. Very clean little cabin, I was impressed. I don't know why, but I constantly walk around ready to be scared and it's just a little too easy out there at night! : )

So pretty!

I really enjoyed reading with the lake and winds sounds, and then glancing up every now and then to see everything green and misty! I think I'll probably go back again sometime.
