When I said that I cleaned the inside of the RV like a woman possessed I didn't think about what it was doing to my back. So, on Saturday I cleaned, on Sunday I lifted grocery bags and laundry baskets, and for several days we had been walking the path twice a day (3 miles total). By Monday evening I was hurting like crazy, so yesterday and today I took the day off. I've been taking muscle relaxers and ibuprofen and now I'm starting to feel better. I spent both days mostly sitting - either doing computer work or knitting but getting up once an hour to walk around a bit. I plan on trying to walk tomorrow. Shall see how it goes.
I haven't done much of anything with the geneology stuff so far this winter despite my intentions to get a lot done. My subscription to Ancestry ends next week and I probably won't renew it until May after we get settled back in. On Monday afternoon I decided that I needed to get everything downloaded from Ancestry to the computer. First I had to load the Family Tree Maker onto this computer, then tell it to import my tree. That didn't take long, but when it came time to import all the photos and source documents it was forever. Really. I started the download after dinner on Monday and it took until 0638 Tuesday morning for it to complete. But, I have everything and feel comfortable that it's all there.
I made reservations for us at the Sparks Marina RV park for the 7th and 8th of April - our target date for getting home.
Several emails and phone calls later, I finally made progress with the PA for my neurologist. They've pushed back my appointment twice now and I realized I didn't have enough meds. It took a while to get her to understand that we were not at home and wouldn't be until the beginning of April. She kept trying to give me an appointment in March. Finally, we got it straightened out and she will renew my current prescription for just enough to get me to my appointment. Whew!
Today Lona and I went into Florence and hit the thrift and consignment shops along Main Street. There are three plus a small shop that does custom embroidery and t-shirts. We found an antique store we wandered through, too. It was fun and we stopped in a little place that advertises fudge but also serves sandwiches and salads. We had a nice lunch there - no fudge. The antique store has a couple of prints by a Native American artist. I want to go back tomorrow and check them out - to see if they are prints or copies of prints. The artist is R.C. Gorman. For the price I'm sure they aren't original prints, but I'm going to check them out anyway. I really liked them and they would be a good addition to our living room decor at home.
It rained most of the night last night and today was cold (55 hight) and windy. It's 6pm and it's warmer now than it has been all day and there is no wind. It's really quite nice outside. The sun is about to set and there's not a cloud in the sky to make the usual incredible sunset.
A new month tomorrow. It's hard to believe we've been here four months now.
