All dressed up and ready to go! I’d never changed outfits so much on a trip, except when Kevin and I were super duper dressed up for sailing to and from the UK, and then changed to hiking gear for marching along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in Wales. And before...

which I’m reading is actually a political term, whereby someone does a whole bunch of different things in all directions in order to cause confusion. Well, that’s not what flooding the zone means to me. For me, it was a literal flood. Confusion, yes, but...

That’s what was going through my mind on Sunday morning. Actually, my first thought was “Are you f***king KIDDING me?” Because after all the stuff with Mom’s surgery, and she’s doing great, BTW, I felt like life was a whirl of crazy...
