Life is easy

The last week has been very mellow.  The weather has been nice.  Bob's health is progressing.  He keeps complaining that he is getting tired and then I remind him how far he has gotten in the last three weeks.  It is still frustrating for him to be so tired and not able to do what he likes to do.


The park here is really not very full.  there are about 200 spots and about 100 of them are filled.  The odd thing is where.  The park is divided in three sections.  Two of the sections are pretty full.  One is almost empty.  That is the section that we are in.  The good part of that is that we have lots of room to spread out and we don't have to worry about being bothered by neighbors.  The bad part is that there are few neighbors to talk with.  The folks in the other part of the park are very cliquish (?sp)  So I probably would not want much to do with them any way.  But I miss having sociable neighbors. 


Today the park had a bus that went to a casino about an hour away.  We went.  There were about 40 people on the bus.  The 20 in the back of the bus brought their booze for the ride.  by the time we got to the casino they were pretty drunk.  They drank on the way home also, but then fell asleep.  So those are 20 folks that I have little in common with.  The good news is that we did meet another couple on our side of the park that we  like.  The trip to the casino came with a free lunch.  We were sitting in the buffet area and I saw one of the couples from the park that I did not know.  I invited them to join us.  They were really nice and are located on our side of the park.  Nice and enjoyable conversation.


After we got back to the park Bob set himself in front of the tv to watch the football game.  I did not want to watch it.  I saw our new friends sitting outside their rig and went to talk with them.  Really enjoyed it.  I hope we get to see them more often.


My exercise is still going well.  I did have an issue on Thursday.  I don't know why, but I started feeling really bad about 10 minutes into the class.  It felt like my blood pressure was plummeting.  I tried to stick it out, but then got to thinking that I had no way to get home if things got bad.  So I left the class and came home.  I felt pretty lousy the rest of the day.  But by Friday I was fine.  I will never understand this.


I do miss my life back in Portland, but this is pretty good and is great for Bob's health.  So we will keep healing.
