Out of the Zone, But In It

Outside of Herself's comfort zone: planning and executing a road trip, complete with place to stay, things to visit, and accompanying teenager to feed and tend.

Round trip drive from this desert land, to the new patch of desert where Cherished Friend now resides: 622.2 miles.

Time spent in car making that trip: 10 hours 35 minutes, give or take a few.

Museums visited: two, including a small private bug collection and a large public natural history museum.

Board games played:  just one, though it was quite complex.

Time spent in the moment, enjoying the company of Cherished Friend:  uncounted, for to measure the time would detract from it.  Suffice to say, it was not quite enough -- but it was Very Good, Indeed.

Time ephemeral
As fluttering butterfly
Tranquil, lovely Time.
