I was awake on Thursday, Dec. 21st
at 5:30 and remained in and out of grogginess until 7 when I got up. When I
opened a couple of blinds it still looked a bit dark but because we are in a
park, I dressed to go for a walk. The temperature was registering 48F/9C and
yet the winds weren’t too bad yet. We’d heard they were going to get nasty
today.

| Looking to the east on my walk |
I noticed our chairs and little
tables had blown over so I stood those up and headed around the park. I can’t
get over how deserted the park is. Now that it is no longer ROD, we imagine a
lot of the former rv’ers who had this as their home park have pulled out. Sad,
really, but for myself, I honestly don’t mind it not being jam packed full.

| We don't see the actual sunrise here as it rises behind the Gila Mountains You can see all the vacant sites along our back fence The rv's you see are at the blm land (free) behind the park |

I came back from my walk, Bill was up
and we had a tea together before he made a phone call to CanAm. He wants to get
to the bottom of why our inverter isn’t working. I won’t say any more about it because
Bill is writing a post today on the steps he took when he couldn’t reach
anyone. Check it out at On Our Way. All I’m going to say is something I’ve said
before; my sweetie is the smartest person I know.
 |
| And the winds already are prominent and they got much worse during the day |
He hopped in the shower so we could
head out at a decent time to Los Algodones, Mexico. Bill has lost a filling
over the last couple of months. I bent over to pick up Clemson’s water dish to
give him his refresher for the day and felt dizzy. Hmm, weird. I had a piece of
date nut bread and some yogourt before getting into the shower myself. That’s
when the day went to pot. And Jello was in the pot.

Halfway through, after my hair was
wet I had to crouch down and call Bill to bring me a towel. Once I dried the
best I could, I crawled into bed. The rest of the day is history. The dizzy
spell controlled my actions from then until 2:30 I finally was able to get
downstairs to my recliner. I don’t have a definitive answer but still go back
to how much water I drank the previous day. Not even ½ a bottle. Could be the
culprit.

At 4:30 I was able to move enough to
step outside, wave to George indicating I survived and plant myself at my
laptop. Very few pictures were taken today but no one is more disappointed than
I about how this day went.
 |
| I thought it was cute to see these two little pooches in their bed They didn't move except to watch me and not a peep |
We didn’t get Bill’s tooth looked after. Thank goodness,
he didn’t have an appointment or he would have been going alone. Also, my
Christmas decorations did not get done this afternoon. Maybe after I have a bowl
of soup, we’ll get a start at it. We’ll see. It is a quiet tv night.
 |
| This is the stretch of road we are all parked on Waaaayyy at the end |
 |
| And our view is across this field facing the horizon |
 |
| This is the healthiest of this type of cacti (where's my book) I've seen yet this winter |
So, that day went and according to
Bill, George and Suzie, with the strong cool winds, I didn’t miss much, so that
certainly helps. I hope you all had a better day than I did.
Between Bill and Clemson, I was well cared for.
