'19/#36 Down Time

We have been back in the Rio Grande Valley now for two weeks and it has been a whirlwind of activity. Also the weather has been a little crazy but not as much as the rest of the country has seen. Today is a do nothing day just because we can!

In the past two weeks Mary has touched base with her local doctors to get them up to speed from the last six months in California. I on the other hand will not see a doctor until agony sets in or Mary is tired of my complaining. Some prescriptions have been refilled and our health is on track so we can get on with enjoying life.

The RV had a water issue on our way down to south Texas. Somewhere along the way we got the on board fresh water supply contaminated. It wasn't a serious or unhealthy situation but it did need to be taken care of. Several days of sanitizing the fresh water tank and water lines plus replacing all the filters solved all the issues. This is just part of RVing.

There were a few other things that we were able to hold off until we got back to the Valley to take care of. A new printer was needed and a new TV was going to be in the near future. We found great deals on a couple of early "Black Friday" sales and we will be setting all this up in the next few days.

By the way.....when did Black Friday sales start in week two of November? I haven't finished my Halloween candy corn yet! It is bad enough that Christmas decorations have been in the stores since the first of the Novenber. It is nice to get Christmas shopping done early but c'mon!! If I hear any Christmas music before Thanksgiving someone is going to get hurt!!!!

On the other hand the weather here has been feeling a bit like Christmas. Overnight lows near freezing and daytime highs not getting out of the 50 degree range make me wonder how far south do Snowbirds and Winter Texans need to go for some warm weather.

I think all this early Christmas hype is pissing off Lady Karma and she has enlisted Mother Natures help in making us suffer for it! Remember people Halloween is in October and Thanksgiving is in November and Christmas is in December! Life goes by fast enough. Why are we trying to rush through it like shit through a goose. When did we stop taking the time to smell the roses?

Well I am going to sign off and hurry up and do NOTHING today but reflect on how good life is here in our home in Pharr because.....

Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
