1. The dishes have been washed. Twice. They will have to be washed again later.*
2. Maps have been printed out along with directions.
3. Shock has been had at the cost of a room at the so-called cheap motels, such as Super 8, in Newark and its environs (the cheapest I could find was $75 prior to taxes).†
4. Disgust was to be had on the part of my husband, who was horrified that the rental place had Fords and Chevys to offer, but no Subarus. Or even Toyotas or Hondas.
5. The nearest SDA church has been located, and their website denounced as hideous by me. However, Dan says that at least they HAVE a website.
6. My large suitcase has been packed. It is not as literally packed as in former years. In fact, Mr Baldwin will easily be able to fit his clothes in and still perhaps have room to spare.
7. Some work has been done. For the most part, however, I am unmotivated.
*Different dishes, that is, from different meals. Not like some strange dishwashing ritual or something.
†Many of the ones that were so *cough* cheap had horrible reviews. Exempla gratia: One Ramada Inn had two isolated reports of hairs discovered on towels.
