Our Location today is La Posa South
L.T.V.A., Quartzsite, Arizona, U.S.A.
Kathy was a little
surprised when she heard the Water
Kettle whistling this morning. That meant it was definitely time to be
getting out of bed but when she got downstairs I was still scrambling to get
things ready for breakfast. The reason was because I had slept way past my
normal time for starting my day and had only been up Fifteen Minutes when she appeared.
It was in the Mid-Fifties while we had our breakfast
which was very welcoming compared to what we had for nearly a month. No need
for any heat in the last week and everything was looking good. That is
everything but Kathy’s Congestion issue
that just won’t go away.
Having taken the new Mucinex-D after we had gotten Home
yesterday her Twelve-Hour Tablet had
expired through the night so she was once again Congested this morning. She was going to suffer throughout the day
until I convinced her to take another tablet. With time her breathing improved
but then she was stricken with a few of the Side Effects. The Mucinex-D
contains ingredients that may cause Drowsiness
but for Kathy that is a certainty. After having a lite lunch of Soup with Cheese on Crackers and
sitting back at our Computers it
wasn’t long before Kathy was reading the inside of her Eyelids compliments of Mucinex-D.
Even though this is our
second winter in the southwest we are still learning little tricks at being “Off the Grid”. RVs are insulated in such a way to keep warmth inside when it is
cold out up to a point because they are far from “Air-Tight”. Now waking up to a cooler interior you can use
that for keeping the Heat of the
dessert out. Later as the temperatures rise before they become uncomfortable all
the Windows and Vents are opened but the Window
Night Shades are closed. The only Window
the Shade is not closed on is
the one on the North side of the
trailer where a constant breeze continues to keep the inside of the Trailer cool. With the outside temperature
reaching 79 F (26 C) we were quite comfortable.
When it came time for
supper this evening we used a part of the Boneless
Pork Rib that we had leftover from the other day to make a Sandwich that we shared along with some
Nacho Chips with Spinach Dip.
We even managed to watch
the 6 o’clock News on CBS. Since we don’t have any TV Guide for Over the Air television we are slowly documenting what channels are
available to us in this area.
Kathy plans on using the Mucinex-D as a night time treatment so
we don’t become prisoners in our Home and can get back to the exploring we want
to do. Thanks

It’s about time.

Lovely sunset or sunrise pictures. It's too bad that connection of Kathy's won't just go away. I wonder if she is allergic to something in the air. Lots of dirty dust particles.
ReplyDeleteWould be nice if it would cool abit. Normal winter temps would be nice.
We have just recently discovered Mucinex and it sure seems to clear congestion. Sorry Kathy is experiencing side-effects. That is just no fun.
ReplyDeleteIt sure was a great sunset tonight. You captured it very well.
Hope she gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteLove the color the sunset gives the mountain.
ReplyDeleteHmmm every time I take an antihistamine for a cold, I get a sinus infection that just won't go away without antibiotics. I sure hope that's not the problem ... it's NOT fun at all!!
ReplyDeleteI had to go to the Dr. for some lab follow up and he checked out this sinus problem which turned out to be a nasty infection I also am taking antibiotics. Maybe Kathy should get checked out for her chest problem it has been a long time.
ReplyDeleteNow for something more important, did either of you try to contact me by e-mail? They were blocked for some reason. If you did try I will try and find out why this happened. Please let me know want2go60@Yahoo.com. Take care
After dealing with three weeks of pneumonia,and three courses of different antibiotics, the ONLY thing that gave me relief and rest was Mucinex D. I hope Kathy starts to feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Doug about the allergies. It may not be in the outside air though, perhaps a new hand cream, or air freshener, or something new in your home that may be giving off a scent, even something as simple as a different kind of dryer sheet. Hope Kathy feels better.
