A Very Therapuetic Day

Sunshine is so awesome!  How different the world looks when the sun is shining!!  Not just to us, but to everyone we encountered today.  

Maggie and I did a half-walk this morning - I'm still not up to the whole thing.  Everyone was outside.  Seriously!  Dogs, kids, parents, old folks, teenagers, everyone.  One neighbor said she was sitting in the sun to kill the "mold" from being inside. Another neighbor told me he is now sure that his GPS gave him bum advice and instead of pointing the way to San Diego sent him to Seattle.  Kids were in their galoshes splashing in the puddles and playing in the mud and parents just let them.  I'm sure it was ok since the alternative was having them inside another day.   There was a cacophony of voices coming from everywhere.  Everyone talking to someone, kids playing,  dogs barking,  and music playing.  A busy beehive of a park today. People and cars coming and going non stop.  It being a three day weekend, the place is packed.  I'm just glad the weekenders will get some nice weather for their stay.  

After our walk, I threw caution to the wind and just sat in the sun for half an hour with no hat, no sunscreen, no sunglasses.  I figured maybe if the sun could kill the neighbor's "mold" it would really work on my virus germs.  Maggie joined me and stretched out in her "flat dog" pose enjoying being outside.  It felt soooo good.  

We changed the bedding, wiped down surfaces with Lysol wipes, opened the windows and just let the cool breeze blow through the RV.  We swept up the little stones and gravel that have been coming in on shoes and little paws, and it just made the whole place seem so much nicer.  

I gave Roger a haircut outside in the sun.  I made three meals today (Rog did the cleanup) and we went to the library to return movies and pick up two books I had on hold that came in at the same time.  (I'm going to  have to do some speed reading.) I'm on the mend for sure.

Roger worked on our one leak in the RV.  There is one spot at the base of the bedroom slider on my side of the bed that seems to let the water in. We stuff it with a towel but still the carpet and underfloor get wet.  He's been trying to fix this leak since we got this RV.  Maybe today's efforts worked as he went after the problem from a different perspective. We just can't figure out how the water gets in - it's not obvious at all.   We'll find out soon if his effort paid off, as by the end of next week we are expecting three or four more days of rain.  :-(

Spotted a coyote running through our site about dinner time. Maggs didn't see it, thank goodness.  She would have gone ballistic. 

Still no yarn.

  1. Hey Ma!
    Were really hoping the sun helped you today & you start to feel better & better!
    The whole cayote thing sounds scary to me, never having grown up where they're prominent.
    If figure your yarn with show right about the time you pack up to leave but hoping not.
