Mother Nature is not having a good year. She is suffering from memory loss judging from the weather we have been having. Doesn't she remember that this time of year we are supposed to be in the 60's? Doesn't she know that in order for April showers to bring May flowers, there have to be a few days of warmth and sunshine?
I know, I know, in another few months we will be complaining about the heat and humidity. But even 50 can feel comfortable if there is no rain or wind to go with it.
I am comfortable at 80-85 degrees. Any cooler and I freeze my patootie off. Any warmer and my hot flashes and night sweats have competition.
I would be happy with days in the 80's and nights in the mid 50's, as long as I have my hubby to snuggle up to.
We want to go camping but it's just too darn cold. Want to go this weekend but if it's going to be under 60 and raining, it won't be worth it since we have a lot of work to clean up our lot from the winter mess that good ol' Mom Nature left us. I am planning on taking 2 days off next week, hoping that we can get the floor in our camper replaced and put the kitchen benches and table back in place. I really would like to get all that heavy maintenance type work done early so we can just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of sitting outside having our coffee, sitting around the campfire, and not sweating and busting our butts doing work all weekend. After the major stuff is done we just have to worry about watering the flowers that I plan on getting planted in my containers, and maybe sweeping the sand off our plastic grass that never needs cutting.
Once the camper is re-positioned on the other side of the trees, we will have more room on the door side so we can move the table away from the camper and sit on BOTH sides of it!
I already know we have a potential leak in the cap over the vent in the kitchen area, since a friend stopped in to check on things and told me that the floor under that and the table appeared to have gotten wet.
I can't really complain, we got the trailer at a really good price and it has served us well over the last 2 years. We bought if from another friend at camp who had it for several years. She took very good care of it, kept it clean and in great condition. Many of the issues are because it is so old, 1985 I believe. This will be our 3rd year with it and we will probably be putting a little more $$$ in it in the way of new floor base, fancy-schmancy stick on linoleum tiles, and hopefully new mini-blinds and curtains.
I can't begin to tell you how I look forward to leaving the office on Friday afternoon, getting home and changing to comfortable clothes. I know that my hubby will have everything packed and ready to go when I get home. Usually just have to stop for gas and maybe something for dinner (usually sliders LOL).
From that point on until we get home Sunday night, all stress, tension, and drama are non-existent.
It's HAPPY CAMP time!!
