Today through tomorrow (Sat./Sun.) early afternoon is national amateur radio Field Day. My charge for the last several years is to provide the food. The club provides the funds. I've had a budget of $250 for the last several years and have alsways managed to stay under that. This year, I fed the troops for a lot less than last year. One of our members was able to get eight pizzas donated for lunch...and more for midnight. Match that with what we already had. I think I gave the treasurer back an envelope with over $120 left in it. We had: sloppy joes, pizzas, fresh fruit, a veggie tray, excellent ham, home-smoked pork loin, potato salad, baked beans, chips, cookies, brownies, and lots of drinks. I don't think anyone left hungry!
In other years, I have stayed at the site to contest. With all of the stuff going on at home these days, it just didn't appeal this year. The children are coming home tomorrow, which makes it important to get things cleaned up here, in spite of the in-progress state of affairs. We WILL get it all done. It just seems overwhelming. Meg sat in the computer room tonight, looking off into space, and said, "There is just too much crap in this house." Yeah, there is. We're working on it!
Off to bed with me. I'm going to hate myself in the morning... Oops! It's already morning!
