A change in mindset?

Today was Thursday and that meant that the Country Stores were going on over at the RV parks....  Valle Del Oro has one on Thursdays and so does View Point...   And I had the best intentions on going over, at least to Valle Del Oro, but somehow I didn't get enthused enough to leave the house....

I'm not sure what happened, because last year I was always up rummaging  around thru the different crafts and stuff that folks bring...  Is that an RV kind of thing....?  Am I loosing it?

I had left the new little tablet computer on and hadn't put it on standby, so its batteries were both flat...  I mean 0%, and usually I don't like to run stuff all the way down like that....  So I went about slowly bringing it back to life...  I like to run the computer while it is charging at first so some of the electricity is going into the screen and the charging of the batteries becomes really slow at first...

Once I had the unit up to about 10% then I went ahead and let the screen time out, but left the computer running...  Eventually I turned the whole thing off and let it charge full tilt...  You can't really tell that anything happened to the batteries, but it has taken some of the life out of them just the same..

I read the computers, worked on the weeds that continue to sprout in the back yard... And sat out in the yard by the wrought iron table... Biscuit was out there sniffing under every bush...  She hasn't figured out that other dogs can't get inside the concrete block fence...  She is sure there will be a calling card under one of these if she keeps checking for it...

Eventually I left and went to Wally World and Wendy's..  I was told to buy a new water pik by the dental hygienist the other day, but you know how that one goes....  So today I was checking out the ones at WM... Ended up with their hand held model...

It wasn't nearly as warm today, but still over 70 in the middle of the afternoon...  But I took the car...  Not too sure why....

I think we are both getting ready in our minds to head back to Kansas one of these days...  Which has changed our mindset.... But its cold back there, so I'm not too certain how enthused I really am..  But I don't seem to be starting any long range projects..  More just hanging around like I'm getting ready to leave...

Loyce is sewing away on her craft projects for Christmas, so what she doesn't get done here will just be packed and returned to be worked on there...

  1. I never started any "long range projects" after we moved to Europe, and at this point we've been here over four years. Kind of makes you wonder what the heck I consider a "long range project"!

  2. Some days are just kind of down ones, whether you're RVing or in a new house. You've been working hard on the house and not having a project is really okay. Remember, you are retired now. lol

  3. Heading back to Kansas? Heck, it's only Dec. 7th! Enjoy the sunshine and do nothing for a week or so, Kansas will still be there even if it is buried in snow.

  4. I am supposed to use my Water Pik every day, but I am not disciplined enough, hope you are!

  5. Checking the shrubs for scents is Biscuit's computer. She's checking for P-mail. Be safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.
