#32--Moods and bums...

Well last night I got a tad moody so that has kind of set the stage for the activities for the day. Everyone is having an “alone” day.

I admit it is mostly my fault, although in my defense, God has been having a hey day with my hormones—and I thought I was almost done with that cursed menopausal thing--NOT, and then my ongoing physical discomforts of the hands has been wearing on me, as well as all that’s happened, but I guess what really sometimes gets to me is my self-professed job of group leader and thinker. Of course it would be probably worse for all if they tried to take it over—I just sometimes get tired of being the one everyone looks at when we are working on our plan. And I guess it’s natural after a month of living in a 24 foot trailer we might get on each other’s nerves once in awhile! Don’t worry—nothing group shattering—just need some time by ourselves.

So today we are all on our own and I’m going to start painting my flowers! Stacy’s dad cut out a bunch of flowers a couple of years ago that I wanted to put along the front of the house—can’t grow them so we decided to make the maintenance free kind. He thought I had forgotten about them but we have been hauling them all around the country and it’s now time to see what I can do with them.

Stacy took her computer, the truck and headed south to the Jackson Lodge and Yuliya is walking the woods. She did take the walkie talkie since it seems to give her security. It would be hard to get lost around here since one side is all lake but as soon as she hits the trees she feels she is “almost” lost. The boys and I are staying at the campsite.

I will continue this tonight to tell of everyone’s day—hopefully they will all remember to come home and we will all be slightly rejuvenated…or at least I will be less pissy…

Later-
It’s evening and I guess I got the kind of day I deserved. I couldn’t find my flowers and thought they were in the back of the truck. But no—just didn’t look in the right places. So my day consisted of a walk, a nap, and reading…

Stacy on the other hand went into Jackson and found us pamphlets on river rafting and a horse thing that sounds good. We will try to find out tomorrow if they are still running—it’s late in the season and many things are closed. Yuliya walked around the campground and then kept me company. The good news is that I am over my tizzy and will try to stay in a better mood. Ironically as soon as everyone left I started to miss them all…

We just had a meeting and decided to move to the buck moose campground in the morning—this one is hard to leave since it’s so empty and beautiful but the other would be more convenient to what we want to do. Then we will try to ride horses or if that is a no go, head into Jackson to see the town. There is an art festival going on and it appears to be a very cool town so we want to play tourists. We also heard there had been 5 moose in the new campground so we of course want to stay there for a bit.

The weather is still staying beautiful so we wonder how long that will last. But we will probably start heading south again by the end of the week. We finally got a calendar out so we could start to see our upcoming schedule—it’s been nice not caring where we need to be.

Heard we missed some weather at home and I should start to worry about our remaining money in Edward Jones—guess the world out there is falling apart. We are basically oblivious to it all…and might never go home. I like not hearing the news…no wonder people become bums…
