I guess you could call it a sort of vacation.. and old salem

I'm putting a TL;DR (Too long : Didn't Read) for those who can't be bothered to read the whole things.. The TL;DR will be at the bottom When you go away for a week or even a weekend, you don't often have to worry about housework. You might tend to the dishes if you stay at a beach house or a cabin, but that and a little general cleaning is all that you really worry about. Well I'm not on vacation here, I'm pet-sitting which means different tasks than I am used to at home. For instance, the only things I have to feed at home are myself and my family, and we are a different type of animal altogether. Here there are two cats and three dogs that require petting, food, the toilet.. This also means litter duty (which I am not looking forward to after not having done it in years) Even so, I'd still call this a vacation. I only have to worry about my own dishes, i'm not constantly throwing things in the trash that stay lying around. I'm also out in a rural area, which is it's own reward. I also may be going to Old Salem next weekend, which will be it's own sort of fun and apprehension. I haven't been to Old Salem in 15 years. Old Salem, for those unawares, was an old Moravaian settlement founded in 1766. It is now a living museum of sorts. I'm not apprehensive for the trip itself but for who I am going with... TL;DR : Different chores, only have to clean up after myself and the animals. I'm going to Old Salem next weekend, it should be fun but I'm still nervous.
