It Could Only Get Better

I guess that old saying is true after all.  It can only get better ..... and it DID!

Cooper and I went for nice long walk among the orange trees, taking in the most wonderful sweet smell of orange blossoms.  I can't believe how heavily scented they were.  No wonder the bees were bountiful.

Of course they didn't help my already trashed windshield.  I didn't even bother to try and clean it.  I was too exhausted and hungry.  Next time I need to plan a little better for those 8 hour journeys.  

In spite of the full RV park, it was nice and quiet.  TOO quiet.  I really need television to keep me distracted from all the phone calls I have to make the next day.  My mind just wouldn't shut down.

I think I scared the guy next door.  I was already out with the puppies when he opened his door at 4:00 in the morning.  He grabbed a flashlight when he heard me talking and hit me straight in the eyes.  Good morning was greeted with a grunt.  We are not all early birds.

My timing was perfect on this day.  I filled up with propane, which took longer than expected.  Might as well savor a free donut while I wait.  Did I mention the Orange Grove RV Park has free donuts and coffee every morning?

It was after 9:00 when I left.  I not only missed all the morning work traffic on the freeway that will forever be under construction, but thankfully I missed the accident behind me that closed it down for a couple of hours.  Wouldn't THAT have made my day.

I cruised along at 60 mph, something I never do, with barely a slowdown or even a lane change.  In no time I was backing into my driveway.  I took a few loads out ... like ten or so ... before collapsing on the couch.  Thank GOODNESS I had TV!!!

I've got two things on tap this morning.  First, wash the windshield and get the bugs off the front before they become permanent residents.  They're not as bad as the kissing bugs in Florida, but they are definitely BAD.  Next, hitting the post office for my income tax info. 

Then I'll deal with the RV television and the fraud call.  Surprise!!  It's raining and is supposed to continue for the next four days.  So much for cleaning the white gunk off the top of the rig.  Even "I" won't climb up there when it's wet.

As for right this moment, I'm hitting the couch for some R & R snuggles with the puppies.
