We are now just a little over six weeks living in our trailer and we couldn’t be happier. Just being able to be together without always me worrying about having to drive home to do yard work and take care of the house. The relief is deafeningly silent. Lol lol

I am a little disappointed in the BC weather, as it has rained all but 4 days since we got here. That really sucks. But since I really have nothing to do. I can deal with it. Lol not exactly true !!!! I really find something to do everyday.

There is always laundry. At great time always to be had at the Laundrymat. Today was laundry day. Not that I really have a day. I go when the laundry basket gets full. It used to be $1.25 a load to wash and about 75 cents to dry. but not it is $3.00 to wash and at least $3.00 to dry jeans and blankets are more. I usually have 3 or 4 loads. With towels and bedding. Today I only had 2 loads because I did towels and bedding on Monday. So I thought I would just scoot right through it one hour in and out. BUT whenever I plan that something happens. ( I hurt my back last week……more later) So I hauled the laundry basket in, harder to do with my bad back. I went back to car to get soap and coins. Put everything in washer and then I go sit in the car. Because now with covid-19 you can’t wait in the Laundrymat you have to sit in car. I go back in 1/2 hour later. I get my stuff out of the washer and I find a dirty old wool sock and a pair of mens underwater in my washer with my undergarments and PJ’s and shirts. I was so grossed out I checked washer really good shook everything out then I had to re-wash all my clothes again another 3 bucks. NOT HAPPY !!!! Jamie’s stuff is all done now and mine is just going into dryer. I turn to go to car to wait. I come back in 30 minutes later, oh yea. Sign on dryer…… this dryer only has cool air. WHO dries with only cool air? I swear it was not there when I put it in. Another 3 dollars and 30 minutes. Finally my day at the Laundrymat is done. Note to self. Just because I wash and clean my washer and dryer when I am done does not mean everyone else does too. Note to sell check washer and dryer before use. Won’t do that again. Lesson learned

Now we have lived in trailers for most of our 42 years of married life off and on. Most summers and also springs and falls too. I can take care of everything myself. Fill the tanks with water empty the grey and black wster. No problem. Well that is until I am again not paying attention. The campground we are at we have to share our sewer. Not a problem we just move our hoses from person to person. I have also done that lots before. Well this time I don’t know must be old age or something, I go out to empty the black water ( this for those of you who do not know is the shit water sewer water gross water, whatever you want to call it? I go out and pull the plunger, I hear water and shit come pouring out. But now I hear something running on the ground. YUP it is the sewer going on the ground I didn’t check to see that our hose was in the ground hole. Instead of closing the pull to the tank I run over and try to switch hoses fast. Well I was not fast enough. Not only that, the other hose is stuck in the hole. Finally I get it out and ours in the hole but toooooo late the damage is done toilet paper and poo all over the ground. I am gagging and throwing up now. Holding the hose in the ground as our tank empties I have to stand there holding it. Gagging and heaving over and over Finally it stops running. I go running for fresh air as I have held my breath for a full 5 minutes and have turned completely blue. I gasp for air but I know I must go back and clean up the mess I made. Gagging again and again. I walked to the back of the trailer I threw up gaging so much . Lucky my neighbour had a shovel behind his trailer. I put what I could down the drain then I just picked up the rest and threw it into the bush. I could smell it all day. I used a full bottle of essential oil over the hole, still smelt it, changed my clothes. Still smelt it finally I checked my shoes sitting at the door gaging again I saw poo I threw those shoes into the woods never to be found again. Note to self. Check hose before draining sewer. Won’t do that again. Lesson learned.

Every Saturday night a few of us from the park here all get together to have a nice big fire. It is so relaxing for the guys after a long hard week. Last weekend was the same. But with all the rain here the wood is pretty wet. Just as Jamie and I were getting ready to leave a spark flew up from the fire and wet wood and hit me right on my neck. I felt it and grabbed for the hot ember, but it was stuck to my skin I pulled and pulled the skin all off too. I got a big burn the size of a toonie a big blister and a big part with the skin all gone. Hurt like hell Saturday night. But it is getting better everyday. Just looks ugly. Big old burn now looks like a hickie. Note to self do not have fire with wet wood. Won’t do that again. Lesson learned.

So my health is still good. Thank GOD. I thank him everyday for my health. I never take it for granted. But I have been a little concerned about a few things. First of all I have been worried about running out of all my supplements from Mexico. So I called Dr Castillo in Tijuana to see if I should change up how I take stuff so it last longer. He told me not to worry Mr Trump is going to open the borders and I can come real soon. Well I didn’t like his answer. Even if the borders open up do I want to go to Tijuana’s in September? take a airplane? Stay in a hotel? I don’t think so. So I have decided to take all my supplements every other day, it should help me get until January or February. Hopefully by then me might have some answers to all this covid-19. I hope so. But not to confident. 🤞🏻

I did mention I had a soar back, well I have no idea what I did. I woke up a week ago with a soar back. I didn’t do a thing, never fell or tripped ……. nothing. well as the week went on it got worse and worse. I finally called a clinic and talked to a dr. She thought it might me a bladder infection as I have had before because of only having one kidney. The pain was on my left side. I tried to tell her that was the kidney that was removed. But she said it could still be bladder she put me on antibiotics. Still not better by Thursday so I called a chiropractor and tried that. So tomorrow is Thursday again and it is still not gone and the antibiotics are all done too. Well once you have had cancer that always comes to mind with every ache and pain. So tomorrow I will call the dr back. I might need an x-ray now. I do see the chiropractor tomorrow’s again. But that’s his last chance too. At $70.00a pop with no results. I think it is back to the dr. After all the work I did on the trailer up and down a ladder falling off said ladder. Never hurt myself at all. All the moving and packing no back trouble. Now living the easy life and I can hardly walk without pain. Sucks ????? Cancer sucks too. Fingers crossed there is nothing wrong. But of course I still worry. Did I say cancer sucks ? Other than that I am fine. Lol lol.

So I will hopefully continue camping life in BC. I am also hoping the weather improves with summer starting on Saturday. I am for sure keeping busy. I have made 3 shawls already and about 20 dishcloths. If anybody needs any let me know I can send them in the mail. 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Lucky me I get to spend all this extra time with Jamie now. The last time I went to my Dr for my Botox I told him about selling our house and that I was going to spend time with my husband. He gave me the best advice ever. He said “ You are living on “extra” time now so go live it to your fullest. Spend all the time you can with your family, and loved ones “ so I am doing just that. He was so right. I know I got extra time and I will never forget it. ❤️❤️

Tonight’s saying : When we have each other, we have everything. 💋
