And I complain about Christmas music this early. But tonight is the member preview night for ZooLights, so we are going - hopefully it will not end up being ironically more crowded as all the zoo members in the metro area have the same idea.
I think next year I may suggest we skip ZooLights and look for some other event to do - they exist! - because the drive through option that was added with Covid is now gone and the boys really preferred that. I *like* walking through, but honestly, I would have preferred driving through as well. So since I know we have some lights areas that ARE for driving through, clearly that is a better choice. (For lights: I still support the Oregon Zoo, I'll just find other ways to give them money than ZooLights.)
Forecast says we are going to get rained on, but not as heavily as if we'd gone later in the week.
I need to go get the trash and recycling down later today, pickup is tomorrow early, and I need to grocery shop, pack a lunch for Ian, etc.
Which list of things at least worked to get me to stop procrastinating on writing another post! I'm trying to rebuild the habit of posting here, and if I build it on the back of procrastinating household chores, I have at least still achieved it.
Now I have to go do those delayed household things, though. Alas.
