Feeling a bit under the weather

May 29 – Not the best day, as I went to bed with a stomach ache last night and after getting up during the night and then not sleeping well, I really wasn’t ready to get up this morning.  Bill was on his own for breakfast and lunch today.  He went out and cleaned the couple of vacated sites for today and I laid around in my pjs til after noon.  I took a pretty long nap this afternoon in the chair so hope it doesn’t keep me from sleeping tonight.  I’d feel OK then once I was up and moving after a bit it’d hit me again.  I did manage to get a load of wash together and Bill drove me down to the laundry room.  I read and waited on it and then dried it at the RV. 

The Beanbag Baseball game we made

I did some straightening up and tried to find homes for things that make it rather cluttered in here.  I would just sit a bit here and there til my stomach would settle.  Drank a lot of 7-up!  I sat outside and read for a while as it was a nice day out.  Then Bill and I played our first game of Beanbag Baseball.  Of course he won, 6-2.  It must have been due to my feeling poorly.  Then we decided to ride our bikes and my chain guard apparently had gotten bent when Bill’s bike was damaged so we corrected the problem and the chain kept falling off because the sprocket got bent again.  Bill said it was time for me to get a new bike.  We checked my tire size compared to his and they are the same so we think we can use my wheels on his bike but he has new tires so will trade them when I find a new bike to my liking.

It’s a good thing we had some leftovers to choose from since I really didn’t feel much like cooking.  We had leftover potato salad, a tossed salad and shredded pork.  For dessert we shared a small dark chocolate bar.  After dinner I thought I could manage to walk the loop so we headed out.  One of the campers asked us how to clean the yellow catfish he caught.   Bill remembered catching the same kind as a kid but not how to clean them.  I had never seen a yellow catfish.  He told us he fished from the shore and where, so now we have a tentative spot for this weekend.  We had 3 new campers come in today and will have about 20 for the weekend.  That’s not too bad.  Bill matched up the catfish guy with one of the new campers who said he could show him how to clean them.  I guess they peel the skin off and filet them.  Hope Bill was paying attention!

I have to water my plants every day since it’s so dry and windy. Not a sprout showing yet, and I will get a couple more herb plants tomorrow.  Bill said we should stock up on lotion when we go into Durango tomorrow.  We both lotion multiple times a day.  We can’t recall having this much dry skin when we were out west before and in Tucson for 2 weeks. 

One of the swallow nests

We saw the hummingbird today.  Might buy an inexpensive feeder tomorrow and try my luck here.  We have 2 swallow nests in our picnic shelter and one of the guys said they always use our shelter and none of the others.  We see them all the time but not on the feeder yet.

I think Bill will wait to clean the 1 site that will vacate tomorrow after we get home.  No one has it rented so there is no rush.  We will stop at the post office on the way to mail some things and to pick up the new grocery ads.  They come in the daily paper and a free weekly publication so I’m all for that freebie unless Bill wants to get a paper.  I organized my coupons so I’m good to go!
