After another good sleeping night (we are getting used to the bed again), the Air Force jets woke us at 7am. They must sit down at the end of the runway until then and all take off at once when the clock strikes 0700! They are noisy, but we have to expect it when we stay at an air base. Not complaining, mind you.
Maggie and I took a long walk this morning after breakfast. It felt good to get a proper walk in after three days of sitting. The path around the perimeter of the park is one mile. Rog, Maggie and I walked it again mid afternoon. My goal is to walk it three times a day. We shall see how that goes. It's time to set some fitness and diet goals as we have been misbehaving for the last week or so.
We sat in the sun this morning waiting for the propane guy to come around, but finally gave up after lunch and left for the commissary. When he did show up, just as we got back, we didn't end up getting the tank filled. It is partially full and he charges for a whole tank and not the amount he puts in, so we will just take the tank somewhere and have it filled as he won't be back again before we leave.
Wow, was the commissary busy! Pre-Thanksgiving shoppers. Lots of turkeys, baking stuff, and vegetables were loaded in the carts. I overheard one woman say to her companion that she needed three and a half pounds of squash. Wonder what she was making? The parking lot and aisles were full, but checkout was a breeze - amazingly there was only one person in line in front of us and that was an active duty guy with a couple of items so we let him go ahead of us. So, we now have groceries and Maggie has some treats. I made a decent meal tonight instead of cobbling together the few things we brought with us and eating junk food.
Tomorrow is window washing and laundry day. Exciting, huh?
We have decent over the air TV and fairly decent wifi here. The wifi gets very slow and cranky in the evenings as people are streaming movies - even though at check-in we had to sign something that said we wouldn't stream.
Yesterday Maggie was just impossible - so needy. She wouldn't leave us alone for a minute and had to be in someone's lap no matter what we were doing. She's settled down a bit today and spent some time not in our laps. She should be getting more comfortable in the next day or so and be back to her normal pesky self. I hope. Maybe the walks helped and the fact she didn't have to get in the truck?
Mid 60s today with sunshine today. Lows in the 40s overnight. Same tomorrow they say. So glad we got out before the winter storms are due to hit at home later this week.
