Rested on Thursday

[avalen]

Good morning ladies, I'm rested, finally and woke up early ready to start my day. I have no idea yet what the temps will be today but seems to me I saw
the weeks forcast as being much of the same as yesterday which was a little cooler than it had been. Hoping these temps will stay down in the low
100 range and perhaps even drop below. I can only hope though. And then of course I can dream of the day I don't have to stick around in these hot
Arizona summers. Payroll is in the bank today but of course its not a full two week check so one automatic payment is going to bounce. Guess I'll have
to make a phone call so they don't panic.
My allergies are still hangin in but don't know where they come from. Have never had to deal with allergies before.
Birth date has been set for the new baby, will be c section on 10/24, thats just two weeks before the actual due date. The afghan is almost done but
needs to be completed by Sept 16 for the baby shower. I have plenty of time to finish it so I'm not worried about that. Sunday is the day we go over to
daughters condo and get her packed up for the move. Will meet her mother in law that day too so I'm looking forward to Sunday. And son is scheduled
to help with the moving of the washing machine. Its one of those big front loading tall type and they are just going to swap her washer for Pauls old one.
That way the condo will still have a washing machine. She said she had planned on renting out the condo but thats as far as that discussion went.
The new school year is unfolding nicely, I don't have any awful students again this year, I'm fortunate. They are all special needs but nothing extreme.
There is a fresh pot of coffee waiting for me so off for a second cup and see what I can pack for snacks to go. Think I still have some yogurt and add a
banana to the bag and I'll be good for breakfast later.
Ya'll have a great day and be safe.

Good morning everyone, another hot one here! Gonna stay inside today sorting and packing stuff to ship to kids. It really feels good to get rid of stuff. Downsizing really feels good. Had to postpone looking at MH today. Workers are coming to fix the pipe from house to septic tamk and then dig up our septic leech field and run new drain lines underground. Old ones have fallen apart over time. Septic systems are new to me

Yesterday we had the chimney sweep. Can anyone sing Chim Chimery, Chim Chimery, Chim, Chim, Cha Rooo...... Can't get song out of my head. DH had not had chimney cleaned in a long time. He was a bachelor for 22 yrs before I moved here and seldom used the fireplace. I've never lived with a fireplace before and I LOVE a fire during winter. It just is so mesmerizing, comforting, soothing and warm. DH complained to the chimney sweep that I burned a whole cord of wood during last winter. I don't even know what a "cord" is. I do know that one of the nice things DH did during winter was grab a few logs each evening and start a fire for me There are RVs that have those gas or fake fireplaces. I think that would be so nice. But haven't found a small RV with one yet Aloha!!

I need ear plugs!!! After seeing the real ear doctor yesterday and having my ears vacuumed everything is soooo loud!
Still debating about going somewhere this weekend, looks like the weather is going to be pretty cool and my van is sitting there with the fridge on just waiting. I did have to go get levelers to park it in the drive way. Should have videoed that experience of getting on them, the van wouldn't pull over two stacked together until I really gave it the gas, I was pretty close to the garage door so was a bit hesitant. I can't imagine why with that big of an engine it was so hard. I'm sorry now i haven't been turning on the generator as it wouldn't start and they don't work on generators at the local RV repair place. i knew better, just didn't do it I haven't felt well for a couple of days but seem to have snapped out of it today, I think when the weather does a big change it does something to me and others, heard lots of people complaining of headaches and allergy issues last few days. I started feeling better yesterday afternoon right after I gave into the lure of a fresh chocolate cream cheesecake at the coffee place. I'm not even that big of a chocolate fan but it just looked so good I folded. Saved some for today and I keep fighting the urge to finish it off, saving it for afternoon treat.
I hope it cools off for you all still having the horrible heat.
Congratulations to all who are hitting the road or picking up their new rigs!!!

GOOD MORNING SISTAHS!!!

I am sitting here like a lazy bum swilling down my 2nd cup of coffee. It sure is hitting the spot too. Usually I set the pot up the night before and turn it on and let it brew. Then in the morning I pour a cup and pop it in the micro. Couldn't do that last night cause the power in the whole campground went out. Can everyone say "DARK"? Holy smokes it was dark around here! Good think that at least Kelly knew were one of the flashlites was!! It was about 1am so both of us just to go to bed. I was in the process of doing that anyway, had already gotten the water for the coffee pot and had shut down the laptop. Had to use the flashlite to see to pour the water in. Taking Shade out for her last P of the day was interesting. She is jet black so needless to say I could not see her at all outside. Good thing she sticks close and comes when called! Sure did feel good to crawl into bed! Dawn that mattress is gonna do me in.... I crawl up onto that thing and lay down? I sink in and that's the end of me!!! The dang thing about threw me out of bed the other night too! Don't know/remember if I was having a nightmare or what but I came up out of a sound sleep and sat straight up on bed, my butt sank into the mattress and I started to topple over to the floor. Talk about trying to grab a hold of something to hang onto!!! Jeeze! Love the pillowtop but they can be dangerous too!

As soon as I can get my motor running today I will try and do some sorting out of this mess. Have to take Kelly to work, she needs to punch in by 3:30pm. Then I will get back to sorting. Really, really need to get the dang A/C unit out of the back of the truck as it's taking up way to much space and I can't get much in the back of the truck to take to storage but will need some extra muscle for that little job. Told the guys here the other day that we need a picnic table and a fire ring here. Sure with that they would bring the table then I could put the A/C on it for now until I get cleared out in here. Then I will put it back in the truck and hope that I either can get up to sons or that he can get down here to get it.

Usually we both do our laundry on the same night but only Kelly did her's last night. So sometime today/tonight I really need to do mine so that I have clean clothes to cover my butt!! Yep, gonna be busy today. ~sigh~ Going back to work on Saturday depending on what the ortho doctor says. Have an appointment with him Friday at 10:30am. Have shelved the plan to finish the app to WalMart until my wrist is cleared up. Also the doctor at the clinic for the park wrote up work restrictions for me also. She does not want me doing dishes because of my BP and my heart. I have complained about the heat in that back corner and she is dead set against me working in that heat and carrying all the clean dishes to put them away. YAY!!! YAY!! And more YAY!!! Took all the paperwork into safety and into my lead guy yesterday. Was suppose to work Friday but he said to hold off and let him know what the ortho doc says on Friday. I will for sure have more papers to take into safety after seeing the doc.

OK, gonna go do a little reading and try to catch up a little bit on ya'll. Hope everyone has a super great day and that ya'll do it safely!!

Love to all

ps. Red, a stacked cord of wood measures 4' high, 4' wide and 8' long.
