Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario,
Canada.
When we
went to bed last night the sound of distant thunder was moving even closer. At
one point we could have sworn that it had struck just the other side of the
parking lot. With weather like that I slept soundly while Kathy kept one eye
open in fear until there were no longer sounds of the storm outside. The
strange thing is we both have childhood occurrences to thank for the way we
react when there is a Thunderstorm nearby. It was not uncommon for me to help
my grandfather on his farm herd in the cattle during thunderstorms wearing knee
boots and a three-quarter length raincoat. Later on in life I’d learn of the
danger associated with these storms. Kathy’s fear comes from being in an automobile
as a child that was struck by lightning. No one was injured but the engine
caught on fire.
We had a
quiet day mostly in part that the sun was well concealed behind a wall of
clouds and we were waiting for the young woman to come pick up the Bathroom Shelving
Unit that we sold on Kijiji. We spent most of the day on the
computers doing more research. In the afternoon Kathy tended to her online
banking and budget spreadsheet entrees. I managed to get some of our pill doucettes
filled as well as counting each of the medications we have in stock. I created
a spreadsheet that helps to keep track of that on my old laptop but when I transferred
the files to the new laptop I had an issue with OneDrive. The issue caused
me to delete those files not just from the OneDrive but from my Documents
in the same instance. I am slowly rebuilding the spreadsheets that I lost.
After the
shelf had been picked up Kathy needed to get out of the apartment. With the
lack of sunshine, she was starting to get a touch of Cabin Fever. It was
also late enough that we went to Dairy Queen
where we each had a chicken wrap combo for our supper. We didn’t rush because
we just wanted to be out and about.
Since we
hadn’t checked our mail since early last week we drove over to Guardian Storage only to find a single piece
of junk mail addressed to us waiting to be picked up. From there we drove over
to Walmart with plans to only walk
around. We spent nearly an hour getting our exercise in but did end up bringing
home a few food stocks that we’d forgotten to get on Saturday.
With the
monthly Fire Alarm Testing tomorrow afternoon and another new Tenant
Viewing we’ll be making ourselves scarce and maybe we might even visit the
trailer to see what we can do in preparation for our Fulltiming Adventure.
Thanks for following along and
feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Ask a silly question
Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical
situations?
We know others that had experiences in their past that lead them to not like thunderstorms. I didn't have anything happen to me and I think thunderstorms are scary!
ReplyDeleteIts a good time to take a nap when you can hear the rain pitter patter on the roof of the rv.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they haven't rented the place with all the viewing.
