Travel
It is amazing how much better everything seems to move along when something finally goes right! I've had a wonderful day today, although I did some pretty boring things - found a copy machine (I simply have to buy a scanner), took care of mailing quite a few things at the post office, and spoke with the insurance agent and my contact in South Dakota, Terri of MyDakotaAddress.
If I have understood it correctly, I wouldn't have to license a truck camper in SD, but I would have to pay the sales tax to the state where it was purchased: 6% in SD, but -0- if I buy it in Oregon or Montana. Needless to say I've been researching Oregon RV dealers and craigslist.
I returned the tights to Costco from my last trip there. I was mistaken that they were mid-rise (I am ok with mid-rise), but they were low rise and I just wouldn't ever wear them. I came out of the store with the dog book I mentioned in a previous post. It is called "The Hidden Life of Dogs" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, and I have already read a couple of chapters. Fortunately for me, the print is darker than it is in some books - not bold, but dark ink - and it is much easier for me to read although I do have to be in a decent light or preferably by the window or outside in natural light. It's a fascinating book, to me at least.
I would like to thank everyone who wrote words of congratulations and encouragement on my sale of the 5th wheel. I appreciate all your good thoughts. I hope I will be able to get back to at least a part-time RVing life because the yearning to travel increases weekly rather than subsides. There is SO much I want to see and places I want to go, and I'm hoping I can find the perfect RV in which to do it.
The weather should be in the 70's up through Friday, which is exactly how I like it, and I hope I can be a little more energetic than I've been lately. Today was an exercise day, and I went up to 3# weights in each hand. I think I will need to find some additional exercises to do on an alternate basis, although I haven't really tired of any of them since each exercise only occurs once a week. The stretch DVD arrived, and I can't wait to get back to that as well.
I didn't get to cross everything off my list for today, but accomplished enough to feel good about it. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
- Another Camping Trip
I'm just about ready for the weekend trip, with all the gear packed in the car and just waiting for the food & table items. After a delicious supper I need to sit a spell and, then I'm going to make a Billy Bob cake, this time with blueberry pie...
- Arizona, Day 2
We drove 60 or 70 miles to the Walmart store today, and I ordered new reading glasses. I sure hope they work, but I won't celebrate until I get them and can finally read regular print. I also was able to find the eye drops that I'm supposed to...
- Friday Rolls Around Again
Life seems to be in fast forward most of the time now, except when it comes to waiting for something, like a truck camper, or delivery of a printer. Speaking of the printer, I mentioned that it cost me $49.95, AFTER a $50 reduction, so it would normally...
- Trying To Get Fit
I think some of my recent upturn in mood is attributable to the exercise program I've set for myself. I was starting to feel that way back in the spring when I was doing a lot of walking with Jeannie, but then she went off maternity leave and back...
- Costco; Dog Behavior
I was there at 10:00 a.m. when they opened, to renew my membership. I got the dates mixed up as it wasn't due until Nov. 1, but I went ahead and paid another year. Specifically went to get Biotin, a supplement I take to keep my hair and nails healthy,...
