Yep, the shed’s up and Rog has already turned it into his man cave. He’s so happy to have a place to be and have something to do. Pictures next time of the inside. We put big windows in the ends so he’d have light to work as we didn’t run power out there. If he does need some light he can run an extension cord from the RV. He just putters away out there. This afternoon he sharpened his wood chisels!! Roger’s been spending too much time standing on the cement floor doing his woodworking so his hip and sciatica have been acting up a bit. We got him a shop stool the other day and we have a anti-fatigue (heavy duty) floor mat coming for him from Amazon this week. Hopefully that will help. He’s taking it a bit easy today - he’s sitting to do the sharpening. He needs to rest for a day or so.
The sign - we’ve had that sign for a few years. Had it made at the Yuma Flea Market when we were there a couple years ago. We have been hanging it on the kingpin of the RV when we stay more than a day or so in an RV park. It worked out nicely to be our shed sign. Most everyone here has some sort of signage out front or on their shed. We just bought the 7 at the hardware store to indicate our lot. Roger put up some solar motion sensor lights on the shed this afternoon. We want to put up a few other decorations on it but are going to wait a little while. We are supposed to get our patio done this coming week. That will be wonderful to have something to walk on that you don’t drag into the house on your shoes and clothes. That fine, silty, red sand is a constant. The patio and then some rock on the rest of the lot should alleviate some of the dust.
I am a weather wimp when it comes to the pool so didn’t get any water exercise at all last week. It was cloudy and around 75 - just not fun. Too much time spent shivering - although that does use calories. One day only 3 women showed up - including the leader. I have been walking the dog around the perimeter path in the morning as well as up and down our street for afternoon pee walks. I bought a small Fitbit to keep track of my activity and hopefully motivate me. My back sometimes get cranky when I do the 2 mile loop and then do some standing. Today was a walk, lunch out, Safeway, and Walmart. By the time we got back home my back was talking to me. I’ve been sitting most of the afternoon. I’m fighting right now to get motivated to lose some weight. I was up 10 pounds last time I checked and have been afraid to check since. As usual I get derailed easily - bought scones at the store for snacking this week and when we got home we went up to the activity hall for the Sunday ice cream social. Never seems like a good day to start. The Fitbit is tracking my sleep as well. I now see why I don’t think I get enough rest - It shows I was in bed for 8 hours but 1.5 of those I am awake or “restless.” How it knows??? I definitely can see on the chart when I get up to go pee! Looks like pretty much the same time every night!!
When I went to the Bay Area Roger let Maggie on the bed with him at night. You can guess where she is sleeping now. The other night it got a bit chilly and she kept trying to stick her nose in Roger’s armpit! She does produce some body heat and I keep pushing her down to the foot of the bed. She is such a spoiled baby. She has become even more of a Velcro dog - she sticks right with us. We are able to be outside and she doesn’t wander away when not on the leash. Of course we have to hook her up to go for a walk anywhere, but thankfully she isn’t tethered when we are sitting outside. It helps that the ground squirrels that were here in March are gone. She doesn’t have anything to chase. Right now she is next to me on the couch with her head in my lap because I wouldn’t let her put it on the keyboard.
I’ve finished crocheting two scarves. One for Stephanie and one for Pam as a thank you for taking care of me when I flew to the Bay Area. Now I need a new project.
Roger is doing dishes. Dinner was bean, cheese and rice tostadas with bell peppers, onion, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. It’s a staple around here - and actually tasted good tonight.
The Super Moon is just that tonight. With the saguaro outlined in front of it, it is just awesome. Wish we could have gotten a picture.
