It's like Whack-A-Mole around here

And I'm the mole. I may have to put baby bumpers along the edges of my cabinets - hit my head three times yesterday, the last one hard enough to send me staggering to the freezer for an ice pack. Goose egg city! (I can hear you laughing, Roxanne. Quit it.)

My fourteen days is up for the big rig, so I'll be moving both rigs a couple of miles down the road to another state park where I can hook up and have A/C. We're getting a break today with the heat, down to 92º, but it's going back up to 100º in a couple of days. It's actually working out pretty well with the heat forcing me to only work on clearing out the big rig a few hours every morning (there is no A/C in the big rig, in case I've made that confusing for anyone). I don't get overloaded with stuff to bring back to my new home or to donate at the thrift store.

I mostly just have the bedroom and basement compartments to do yet so that feels pretty good, too. I wasn't going to do any real cleaning before everything was empty but cleaned the fridge and kitchen cabinets yesterday. The fridge always feels like a big job but once it's empty it's really pretty easy. Nice to have that done.

Here's where I've been since I brought my new home back from Flagstaff. This shot gives you a better idea of the size of the rig, it's really not much longer or taller than my Honda.



Jake is sometimes tasked with cleaning out the cats' food bowls. He takes this responsibility very seriously.

  2. Stylin' combo in the picture. You might want to try out the combination for a bit before fully deciding that you don't need a toad.

  3. Sorry about bonking your head. Must have been the kind where you see stars? Yep, I've been there usually followed with words you would never say in front of your Granny... lol... Keep up the good work it just makes it so much easier to do considering you don't have to punch a time clock in between. Jake looks like he likes his job and he is mighty good at it... It's starting to warm up to the uncomfortable numbers here too for this little chubby chick, I consider 70 a heat wave ... Whew... Hope you will be so happy in your new digs...

    1. LOL! It's true, Granny would not have been pleased.

      You are so right, it would be a lot harder if I were cleaning out between work shifts. Blech.

      Stay cool!

  5. Oh Annie your poor head has a boo boo. I'm so sorry. Do you think this is a repetitive stress injury from all the cleaning. Glad to see Jake too is taking his job seriously. You are now one of those rich folks with two homes. Maybe you should consider having one up higher and one down lower then you could commute. :-)

    1. LOL Sherry, yes, I've started slamming my head into things because of all the damn cleaning. :)

      Ooh, I got a tingle thinking of commuting between my 2 estates. They would be very, very wee estates but still!

  6. Oh! I have hit my head many times in my rig. Oh! I have hit my head many times in my rig. I don't think it has impaired my thinking or memory. I don't think it has impaired my thinking or memory. No. I'm fine. No, really. Just fine. Really.

  7. Just 2 days ago I did the same thing while walking with my head down outside the rig. 'Whack' right into the bedroom slide. Never seemed to knock any sense into me though. I sure would be hard pressed to handle that kind of heat you guys have down there. Just can't imagine working at something in hot weather like that. Think I would heading for some cooler higher altitudes somewhere.........

    1. I've heard those slides can get you pretty good. Hope you didn't do any lasting damage.

      Higher altitudes sound SO good right now. I'm hopeful!

    1. LOL, I wish there had been a Munchkin involved! Makes a better story.

      I've recovered. :)

  9. Your new rig is seriously nice looking. Congratulations! I hate the head hitting. I ran into an open storage bay door and thought I had cut my head open it hurt so bad. Move slower, it always happens when I'm moving too fast.

    1. Thank you, Allison!

      Yes, that's what happens with me, too, I'm moving too fast and not watching out where my head is pointing. Glad you didn't cut your head open!

  10. Hey Annie! You're slackin'... Give us an update! How's the new digs coming along? And... Life in general? Don't get us hooked and then keep us in the lurch... ; )

    1. You're so right, I'm a total slacker! It's this heat. I would say I've been taking a lot of breaks but that would mean there was some actual work happening.

    2. I hear you my sister... The heat just wipes me out... We actually had a beautifully, cool, rainy day here in the desert of Nevada. But, I know the heat is coming. Is the move keeping you from moving to cooler elevations?

    3. Glad to hear you've had some nice days. Yes, having 2 rigs has kept me here but I think I'm going to put the big rig into storage for now so I can get some relief at higher elevations. I'll come back to deal with it this fall.
