I was invited to go camping this weekend. It’s been so long. I can’t wait. Boy this came on time. I needed some nature and a change of scenery. For those who know my OCD issues I’m sure you’re probably going, “How will Aussie deal with no upscale restroom facilities?” Well, my restroom issues are centered on my own restroom not the restroom of others. So, there’s no real issue when I go out in public or anything like that. The issue is my own restroom and letting others use it. I don’t foresee any OCD panic attacks where I prematurely call Hasmat or scream “You ‘re triflin. You people were raised by apes, apes I say apes.” I don’t expect that at all.
So, we’ll leave Friday morning and come back late Sunday evening. There’ll be fishing and stuff like that too. I haven’t been fishing in a good 10 years or longer. They’ll have to put the worm on the hook cause I’m not touching that nasty thing. I’ll be fine with cleaning the fish but they’ll have to deal with the worms. Yuck! I haven’t roasted marshmallows in years nor have I had a roasted hot dog since I was a little kid. I can’t wait. Oh I so can’t wait. I do have to wonder how on earth I’m going to do my hair out there in the wild.

Here’s hoping your camping experience exceeds mine!
I’ll be thinking of you out there having a blast while I’m slaving away painting and cleaning . . . don’t worry about me though, ok? Just have yourself a good old time.
Have a great time. If the biggest worry right now is your hair, you will be fine. Can’t wait to hear about it!
… my hair and canoeing… We’ll be going on a 15 hour canoe trip but this Little Duck’s afraid of water… very afraid of water. I’m going to do it though. (deep breath) … and of Ladybird having pups before I return. Ladybird will be here but my neighbor will come and care for her while I’m gone.
It’s me, Fife Jr, his friend “McGuiver” and two 8 year old boys. I get my own tent as well so that’ll be cool. It should be fun.
see everyone later,
Austin
Have a great time!!!!!!!
Have fun! I love camping. Just wear a life preserver and enjoy the canoe trip.
My little OCD tip for camping – I bring an old outdoor mat to put in front of my tent – so I can brush off my feet before I go in and out of the tent. Keeps the dirt out somewhat!
