I’ve had a
week of errands, relaxing, eating good food, hanging out with my boyfriend and
enjoying my time away from camp. On 4th of July, I had a BBQ for
several good friends. The weather has been RIDICULOUSLY hot (100 degrees) and
so the BBQ actually turned into an indoor event and I made sloppy joes instead.
This was the first year we were going to run camp over 4th of July
and we had great programming planned. As I sat in my house in the city,
surrounded by friends, it felt a little bittersweet. I was happy to be with
everyone I love, but I was supposed to be with a bunch of crazy kids, grilling
out, playing games and having a really cool day at camp. A few cocktails later
and I wasn’t thinking about camp anymore, so the day turned out ok.
On Thursday
I spent the day with my best friend. We went shopping, saw a movie, ate good
food and chatted. It was wonderful.
I have a few
days left at home before I return to soggy camp. I have talked to Property
Manager T a few times. It has rained several times and the archery field is
worse than when I left. It’s going to be messy, smelly and disgusting when I
return. It sounds like the lake is still receding, despite the rain, so maybe
it will be better than I’m imagining.
I am nervous
about what is waiting for me. I am trying not to get ahead of myself or worry
or let the dread ruin my last days at home. I am planning on running camp on
July 15 even though there will be standing water around camp and we will have
to rope it off and move some of our programming. I think it will still be a
great week and I hope no one is upset about the condition of camp. I’m trying
not to think about it though- I still have a nice weekend ahead.
