Notes - new Pouch 10 begun /


         Carol spent the morning washing, drying and ironing clothes while you slept, played with the cat, did your forty minutes of exercises and thought about what you might take on this trip to Sunset, South Carolina. You had lunch at Potbelly’s on Mason-Montgomery Road and are now at Kroger’s buying essentials for the road trip and stay. You want to wash the Avalon and begin packing tonight so as not to forget anything. – Amorella

         1546 hours. I do try to remember to thank Carol for doing the wash, I usually do. She doesn’t like me messing with the washer and sometimes asks me to fold clothes. I can do that somewhat respectfully but I have to move the clothes pile to the living room so I have the room to sort and fold. Until Kim was school age I washed, dried, hung and folded clothes regularly. I had built my own washer and dryer area and had built a folding table as well as high horizontal poles to put hangers/clothes, etc. It is a smaller area upstairs off the kitchen. I don’t like the new water saving washers in particular so I don’t mind that she wants to do the washing. I am rattling on. Sorry (for anybody reading).

         Boy, paragraphs like the above pretty much assure you will have very few readers. – Amorella

         1555 hours. I do this consciously Amorella as to disguise the top-secret material I am working on in plain sight.

         Orndorff, you do very little consciously. Let’s work on Pouch Ten. – Amorella

         After dusk. You did begin a new draft for Pouch Ten. Drop it in to show progress. After you watch the news it’ll be time to start packing. Add and post. – Amorella

First Draft Pouch 10 – GMG.2 - rho

         Uncomfortably, Blake Williams sits in a human-styled easy chair in the small workstation at the StoneHouse site waiting for Friendly to return to the secret dig on Planet One with medical information about Pyl and Justin. His mind ruminates on the event an hour earlier. The two were at the northwest corner of StoneHouse dig at the bottom of the ten-foot deep, three foot wide ditch between the ancient foundation and the thin outer safety wall when a black and red squirrel-like animal appeared to jump or fall into the dig, landed on Justin’s right shoulder, bit him on the forearm as Justin attempted to knock him off. The panicked rodent’s back claws dug into Justin’s wrist as it then jumped at Pyl who quickly turned to knock the animal to the dirt floor. The small furry animal bit her on the right forearm before falling onto the dirt floor. The rodent ran ahead along the ditch floor where it was stunned Friendly had drawn from her front left shirt pocket.

         2002 hours. Carol did her walk earlier. We stopped and had a Graeters cup as a treat. The car is not packed but it is clean and ready to be packed. We aren’t leaving until around noon and we are only going to just north of Knoxville proper. Friday we will head east towards Asheville, North Carolina and eventually find our way to Sunset, South Carolina. We are pumped for a road trip but wish our friends, Craig and Alta B. were coming along with us.
