Woops – missed a day. Didn’t
really have anything of interest to write about – don’t today either but will
any way.
Yesterday morning I had an
unexpected surge of real anger – when I thought about it later it really was
stupid – but sometimes those things just grab you. I was
playing a game of mahjong on the laptop – clicking on the little tiles. But for
some reason yesterday my hand was shaking more than usual and I was having a
hard time keeping the cursor on the tiles I wanted to click. And it just made
me so angry – The emotion just surged over me! I wanted to throw the mouse and
the laptop off the table. Surprised the heck out of me – luckily it didn’t last
long. I’m not usually that irrational. My hands have been shaking for years – I
have essential tremors (that means they only shake when I use them. Like
writing, using a mouse, lifting a spoon or cup to my mouth – fun stuff like
that.) Nothing can be done for it. And I’ve
learned to live with it – sometimes it’s even funny. Like when I handwrite a
grocery list and can’t read it once I get to the store…..And at least my head
isn’t shaking yet. Enough of that.
The guy who came to repair the
pits in Alfie’s windshield said it didn’t need repair. The tiny pin pricks from
the gravel from the truck that got in front of us were not bad enough to
repair. They won’t get any bigger.
Another trip to WalMart in Green Valley– so far
this year we haven’t seen the old guy who wears a gun on his hip in there
shopping. I HOPE that now we have everything. And discovered there was a JoAnns
in the shopping center. Had to go in and look around. Bought another How to
Knit book and some yarn. Have no clue what I’ll do with it but I have it in case
I want it. My new project is about 10 inches along with no mistakes yet. It
will be a neck scarf when it is done.
Stop The Presses! I cooked dinner
two nights in a row! Just wanted a real meal without going out. Steak and baked
potatoes one night and good hamburgers last night.
Well today should be our last day
in the US .
Planning on leaving tomorrow morning and going as far as Hermosillo to the Sonora RV park there. While
there we hope to purchase an Internet service – a TelCel Banda Ancha USB stick
and get it activated [that part is always iffy] Hope the people in the TelCel
offices have learned more about how it works this year.
Today is just putting stuff back
where it belongs, doing last minute business on line and doing the laundry.
Exciting stuff.
The sun has popped out – still lots
of clouds but it is warming up.
Have been checking on line and it looks like gasoline is more expensive in Mexico than the US and diesel is close in price. Also read that the road tolls have gone up again. And one of the RV parks we were going to stop at is closed!
Safe travels you two! So glad we did our Mexico trip last year with the gasoline prices and tolls. Happy to follow you again this year through pictures. We'll be jealous about the warmth!
