MAY MONDAY
Posted: Mon May 04, 2009 4:09 amGOOD MORNING ALL YOU CAMPERS!
It appears that things cooled off again last night, as it's now 32 out there. I am so hoping my baby lilacs will withstand another frost or more. It looks as there could be a lot more blossoms than I had originally thought there were hidden in those bud capsules.
My alarm clock, a self-setting atomic clock sort of thing, resets itself every night at midnight, and it's stuck on the next time zone west of me. That's what happened on Friday when it was really an hour later than I thought it was. Luckilly, I caught it last night before I went to bed, so set another alarm clock. The problem is, I have lost the instructions on how to get the darned thing into my correct time zone! It's telling me it's only 4:00 now, as it is in that time zone. Sigh....I've looked all over for the instructions. Maybe I can go online to find out what to do with it, as I really love that clock.
I have only a 4-day week ahead of me, and for that I am glad! AP exams begin on Wednesday, and I will be out of the library while they are being given. Hours of wasted time in the teachers' room while this is going on. So I've taken a personal day on Friday and Monday.
I hope the weather is being nice wherever you all are. It's not been nice in many parts of the country lately. Climate change is proving itself a reality, like it or not.
Echo, get yourself one of those bucket-top toilet seats that snap onto those huge buckets, and you will have your own little toilet right in your tent! Then just take it and dump it and clean it out later! I have three of those....one in the trailer, one in the leanto, and one extra down in the cellar in case of power outages when I don't have any water pump! They are really comfy to sit on, handy in the middle of the night, and save a lot of running! They cost about 15.00 from Cabella's or any good camping supply store. I once melted the edges of one of mine I had too close to the woodstove at the leanto, so now it has some sharp melted parts on the edges that sometimes hurt when I sit down on it! I wouldn't be without mine...I take one in my trailer at this time of year as I can't put water in there this early. At the KOA, I just take it to the bathroom in the morning, dump, and wash it out. Sure does beat not having it! I also use it out here in the trailer in my yard, too. I think they're called a 'Luggable Loo', or something like that.
Hazlenut Creme coffee here again, and it's GOOD! Pull up a chair and let us know what's going on in your world!

We are staying in an RV park in Navarre, FL since all the state parks are full and we, foolishly, didn't make reservations (forgot about how popular this area is before the summer weather sets in). Overcast and rainy today. DH is happy since he won't have to slather on as much sunscreen as usual-although I remind him that rays can penetrate. He gets quite a bit of squamous and basal cancers, so has to be careful. He is packing a lunch as we speak. We are watching the weather as we look toward driving thru AL, MS and onto LA.
