It is amazing how much better everything seems to move along when something finally goes right! I've had a wonderful day today, although I did some pretty boring things - found a copy machine (I simply have to buy a scanner), took care of mailing quite a few things at the post office, and spoke with the insurance agent and my contact in South Dakota, Terri of MyDakotaAddress.
If I have understood it correctly, I wouldn't have to license a truck camper in SD, but I would have to pay the sales tax to the state where it was purchased: 6% in SD, but -0- if I buy it in Oregon or Montana. Needless to say I've been researching Oregon RV dealers and craigslist.
I returned the tights to Costco from my last trip there. I was mistaken that they were mid-rise (I am ok with mid-rise), but they were low rise and I just wouldn't ever wear them. I came out of the store with the dog book I mentioned in a previous post. It is called "The Hidden Life of Dogs" by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, and I have already read a couple of chapters. Fortunately for me, the print is darker than it is in some books - not bold, but dark ink - and it is much easier for me to read although I do have to be in a decent light or preferably by the window or outside in natural light. It's a fascinating book, to me at least.
I would like to thank everyone who wrote words of congratulations and encouragement on my sale of the 5th wheel. I appreciate all your good thoughts. I hope I will be able to get back to at least a part-time RVing life because the yearning to travel increases weekly rather than subsides. There is SO much I want to see and places I want to go, and I'm hoping I can find the perfect RV in which to do it.
The weather should be in the 70's up through Friday, which is exactly how I like it, and I hope I can be a little more energetic than I've been lately. Today was an exercise day, and I went up to 3# weights in each hand. I think I will need to find some additional exercises to do on an alternate basis, although I haven't really tired of any of them since each exercise only occurs once a week. The stretch DVD arrived, and I can't wait to get back to that as well.
I didn't get to cross everything off my list for today, but accomplished enough to feel good about it. Tomorrow will be a busy day.

I'm waiting to feel better when everything goes right with my current situation. :) I feel like I've been trapped in this parking lot forever! I know it's only been a week, so I should quit whining. I will, when I'm back on the road. :) Come join me!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried photographing papers instead of photocopying or scanning? That's what we've started to do.
ReplyDeleteAlso I don't know if you said you'd tried the glasses for magnification. I find that if I want to thread a needle or read in low light I need them. They're $1.00 at the Dollar Store.
Glad you're more positive!
A little good news can go a long way! Good luck searching rv's in Oregon too!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you.
ReplyDeleteNow for the next step. Hope your Eye Specialist has good news next time you visit.
Blessings
You sure had a full day of errands and activities. It probably felt a whole lot easier to buzz through those now that a big weight has been lifted. Isn't this cooler weather delightful? Last week was totally unbearable. :(
ReplyDeleteLove your blog picture. Where is that one? And isn't it wonderful when a day actually turns out to be a good one. Pass along some of the things you learn reading your book. My girls are probably too old to do much changing but you never know.
ReplyDeleteI have a list of to do things today but it keeps raining so I don't want to leave the house. I think the weather is telling me I've overstayed my welcome here in NY and it's time to head further south.
I like your header pic:)) Yes, it's alwys a welcome pschycological lift to the spirits when things go well & fall into place. Guess if life was like that all the time we wouldn't appreciate it so we gots to have a healthy dose of bad stuff going on to know how great the good stuff feels when it comes along:))
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read you are back in the swing of things. Sounds like you were pretty busy today. Stay safe.
