Assorted Thoughts for the Day

It has been a long time since I have been this sick. I am still dragging after overdoing it on Wednesday. Poor Dave had to dump the black water tank after he got home from work because I was just too weak to go outside and do it. Because the water hose to flush it was frozen, we had to dump dishpans of water into the toilet to help it "flush" out the tank. Not ideal...but it works. It got us through the last two winters. :)

Yesterday was a special anniversary for my Honey and me, which I started to write about. But I got too foggy to continue, so I saved it in a document to post later. Hopefully, I will get to it soon. Right now, I am still pretty weak and will be laying down again soon.

There is still a little bit of snow on the ground. It is in the mid 30's, which is about as warm as it is supposed to get today. I am praying that we will be able to do laundry here this weekend. We have the water hose running down the hillside to drain, so it should be open to use.

As I lay in bed I get all sorts of things going through my mind to share about our lifestyle out here. It is hard to have all these thoughts in my head and be unable to sit here and write them out.

As I sit here, my son is watching educational TV. It is amazing the things we can learn from some of these programs. He is laying up in his sleep area while I am below here at my pc. The bed is still a bed. I don't know if it will make it into a couch today. Yesterday it did not. I really don't think I want to spend the energy to convert it both ways today. I need to reserve my strength.

Well, this is about as far as my foggy brain will take me today. I need to go lay back down and get better. It is nice and warm in our cozy RV. :) I hope that all of our friends and family are staying healthy!

Wow your little RV is little. We have a pop-up which is also c class. I was having a hard time imaning in my head how big it was. Dad said it was as big as our pop-up fully open. Wow it is small. Read everthing on your blog. I can handle that kind of camping for a week and then Im reading to go home. we have a stove and potty in our pop-up. We always stay at camp grouds with showers. Mama cant stand to got bed with out one. I think the next one will actully be bigger then yous cause it wiil have a shower sewage and microwave and maybe air conditioning. We could have it now but dont next next one will have more bells and whissls. I dont really care. Just as long as Ihave a place to sleep. Your really are ruffing it as my mama would say. 7 acers. You must have some pretty walks. Wish I could see it, im sure it doesnt look like what I am thinking it does.
