March 22nd, Thursday – Ever Want to Pull Your Hair Out?

Ever have one of those days, come on now, we all have them once in a while.  Those days

when you just want to pull your hair out because nothing seems to go the way it was planned?

Granted the day didn’t start out that way.  Nor did we intend it to be that kind of day.  It started out with Barbara getting out the griddle and whipping up a wonderful batch of

chocolate chip pancakes and some fried spam on the side.  Along with a nice glass of juice and a mug of coffee, I felt like I was a king in his castle.  The day was off to a cool but fantastic start.

Following that we were going to do some shopping but decided to wait until tomorrow when we know we’ll have some time to kill while Graybeard is getting his new shoes.  So I started to put things away in anticipation of our home becoming mobile again,  It’s amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in just three months, stuff you either have to get rid of or find a place to store.   So, some went in the can and some went in the overhead bins.  That was just inside.  Then I went outside.  Glad I started today because I had to rearrange some lockers to get everything in.  I’ll have to do more tomorrow and next Tuesday when I have hoses, etc. to store.  In time everything will be in its place.

As for pulling our hair out?  Not me so much as Barbara.  What started it all?  When she

sat down and began working on our taxes!  It went down hill from there!  Along with that task we also had to straighten out an issue with our car and RV insurance.  Want to guess how many calls that took?  If you said four you were close but still low.  Of course, Marti also wanted to help Barbara, translated just when as above she got all the papers neatly arranged on the couch he would decide he wanted to sleep on his red blanket.  There went all those neatly arranged papers!  I, of course, was absolutely no help either.  With my way of doing bookkeeping on Quick Books, let’s just say Barbara couldn’t find much, no, make that she couldn’t find anything she went looking for.  Sorry, honey.

Ok, one thing did go right.  The waste valves have been successfully replaced.  Yet, another chore that can be checked off.  I believe we’ve covered all the bases, at least the ones we can think of.  No doubt other things will arise.  Correction, they have but none are life threatening so to speak.  I have to replace the door handle on the bathroom door, replace a missing spring that holds the door open, and a thousand other little things are on the project list to be done throughout the year.  All in due time.

So, thankfully we are at the end of our day.  A good day?  A great day?  Ask me and I’ll say yes.  Together, with my sweetheart, I’m living the life I’ve always dreamed of.  Ask Barbara, well, perhaps we shouldn’t ask her that question tonight!  Hope you still have the hair on the top of your head.  That your day was not as frustrating.  We’ll get through this.  One day at a time.  Side by side.  Hey, how did that song go?  Something like this
