A Day to Ourselves, Lila

Park Place Rv Park

On Sunday, Jan. 25th I woke up hearing Bill talking to Gibbs. It must be 6 o'clock. These pups of ours have inside alarm clocks. Time to pee, Daddy! They got up and out for their walk. Sometimes it is a wild goosechase, Bill following along while he looks for that perfect spot.

Good morning!
Clear sky morning,

I dropped back off until they returned and at 6:45 I got a face lick. It was my turn to wake up apparently. I had decided I wasn't moving until 7 so told Gibbs to 'go back to sleep for a few minutes, it's not time'. He listens every time and laid with his head across my belly until it 'was' time. πŸ’•

Bill had his shower in that 15 minutes. We sorted laundry and Bill carried the basket over to the clubhouse at 7:15. He left for the flying field, always happy after a 3 day sabbatical. I went back and forth until the 2 loads were dried and folded and then had my shower.

The pop of the sunrise.

When my hair was semi-dry (it doesn't take long), I tucked it up under my hat and took Gibbs for his 2nd walk. I made a coffee and walked over to work on the puzzle until noon. Bill returned from flying and joined me. He was no help on the puzzle today but kept me company. πŸ˜‰

After lunch, I had a nagging headache, which is very unusual for me. I can't recall my last one. I did 'make' my dryer towels though and used Fleecy to soak them in. I'm sure that is what created the aching head, so I can only blame myself.

Bill and Gibbs dozed in the recliner so I worked on Robin's pelican project. I've been running ideas through my head and finally started putting paper to....well, paper. πŸ˜‚ My headache didn't ease up so I popped ear plugs in and had a 30 minute nap to relieve it.

Gibbs and I walked before supper
and clouds have moved in.

When I got up at 2:30, it was gone. Yay! I hopped on Lila to see if she and I were still compatible. Well, I only rode to the corner of Riggles and Quail Trail and back and we got along pretty fine. I am not ready to part with my trusty bicycle yet. 

I walked over to visit Sue in the office, briefly, it was uke jam time in the clubhouse and we tease each other about it. Today, there were only 3 players, 4 counting Stephanie on the bongos, so it was pretty quiet. I returned home and made a cup of tea.

Well, this is a first.
Opening a jar, bottle, box or bag 
of ANYTHING, you never get a full
container.
Until this. πŸ˜‚

Crap! The headache was back, of a lesser magnitude, so at 5, I took Gibbs for a walk. It was for me as much as him, the fresh air might help. For supper, Bill cooked fries for himself and I baked the fish in the convection oven and asparagus for me. 

It was good and we each had the last 2 small pieces of apple pie for dessert. After cleaning up the pots, the dishwasher ran and I worked on my blog. Seems a good meal helped and I know a good sleep will do the same tonight and voila! Headache be gone!

This fish was good.
Stayed together, nice thick filets.
It is Swai.

This was a chilly day even though the sun shone prominently all day. Waking up to 40F/5C meant jackets on our first outing, but even the 67F/17C in today's winds felt cool. It doesn't seem right to say that when back home and in western Canada they are experiencing ridiculously cold temps.

I watched Marley & Me again tonight. Makes me feel that Gibbs is a wonderfully trained dog! πŸ˜…πŸ˜…An entertaining movie.

I should have paid attention,
there was probably a lovely sunset.
Good night!

Thank you for taking the time to read. Your comments are always welcome.

    1. Thank you, it returned again after supper. I use old tea towels and soak them in a fabric softener. Sorry, Fleecy is a brand name. It is replacing dryer sheets for static.

  3. For sure it's the Fleecy that gave you the headache!. I just use the Norwex balls and they work. Plus no fragrance! You don't need the smell.

    1. Yes, I believe it is too but it has never bothered me before. I use Norwex balls but they are not keeping static from some of my clothes. ???
