I just read over Su’s description of our trip to the midwest (below) and it looks like she hit all the high points. It was a relaxing and fun time bookended between two drives that seem to get longer every year.

Now that I’m back in Newburyport it’s time to get back to normal life. This week has been good so far. Tuesday was spent running, unpacking, doing laundry, and fixing the video drivers in my computer so I can beta a computer game I’m looking forward to. Wednesday was spent getting our bills and the church bills in order after a two week break. Thursday my brain and body crashed and I took a long nap and ordered a pizza while generally doing nothing useful.

Today, after going for a run, I’ve decided to tackle cleaning the fridge. We ate most of the food before Christmas and with the shelves empty it’s a good time to clean them. I was chatting with a friend online and described it as follows:

My fridge is like an archaeological dig. At the top there are traces of spilled mustard, syrup, etc. Next level down has it’s own set of stains plus drippings from above. The lowest level has physical foodstuffs, like a layer of crusty lettuce droppings. All this veggie matter at the bottom is held together by drippings from the top two layers.

I only remembered to take a before photo when I got to cleaning the door so the full extent of what was under the veggie drawer is lost forever.
