Three things from my trip to Bend three weeks ago.
Dh and I went to Bend for the eclipse three weeks ago. We stayed at a Sleep Inn. A few things from that trip.
1. Soap. The hotel soap was a nice smelling sandalwood soap. We took both (open) bars with us when we left because eh, why not? We put one in our bathroom sink soap dish and three weeks later, we are still using it. There is still another one to go. The waste of hotel soaps never fails to make me shudder.
2. We finished our audiobook on the way down to Bend. As we were leaving, I opened my library's page and grabbed a random book, _Fourth Wing_ by Rebecca Yarros. We knew we wouldn't be able to finish it on this drive, but since I had been able to borrow it right away, there were no holds on it, so I figured we'd be able to grab it again as soon as we needed to. I put it back on hold as soon as my loan expired. Only... apparently it's been picked up by fucking amazon to be made into a series. So now there are 356 fucking holds on 10 copies, and my wait time is over 6 months. GRRRRRRR!!!!
3. Anne-Chloe had gone down to Bend for the eclipse as well. She'd been planning on camping, but got out late so crashed at my sister's too. We decided on separate viewing spots -they had clouds too- but Anne-Chloe, unlike dh and I, got her photos uploaded and eventually posted to Instagram. Which led to the following exchange with my younger daughter. Her typing wasn't the best that day, LOL.
Linnea: Did u guys go with Anne-Chpoe for the apcogolypse >:(
Me: The what?
Linnea: The eclipde.
Me: Phew. I thought you meant the apocalypse! 😂
