Happy Friday once again! I just worked six early-shift days in a row, and now I get a weekend, so I am so so tired. I could sleep right now as I write to you. Work is nice though — free meals and coffee with each of them. The coffee kept me alive. Also, they were playing Hamilton today which contrasted very strangely with the 18th-century book I was listening to (The Mysteries Of Udolpho — a slow start, but good. Apparently Northanger Abbey is based on it?). The vibe in a summer camp kitchen is very dependent on who the lead cook, and thus the playlist, is.
Mom and Aaron went to the country fair and got back on Monday. It is as you expect from the country fair. I don’t envy that, but I do envy that they got to see Eugene just for a little bit. It’s been so long since I’ve seen home. Aaron played the saw in a Dr. Seuss performance. I saw the dress rehearsal before they went — it was very strange. And liked at the country fair. I spent their time away making lots of mac n cheese.
I have also accidentally committed sacrilege by buying a rosary and replacing the Jesus pendant with a band (Ghost) logo pendant. I found that a little fun since you never know when you sin in other people’s religions. Unfortunately, cannot deny that it looks cool, though. I also bought a three dollar mini candlestick like Scrooge holds. I’ve always wanted one of those, so it’s neat.
I’m about to fall asleep. I love you so dearly. I am always and forever your tired, terrible sister. I FaceTimed cousin Laura a few days ago: she is well, but it is much too hot in Phoenix.
With love,
Alice
