August 10 – Another pretty
crappy day! My face was worse than
yesterday and I itched most of the night.
I did go with Bill to clean the bathhouse and the Cadillac but the RV
tech was due at 9 so he dropped me off just before his arrival.
Unfortunately the tech was
not able to reset our night shade on the dash and a new motor needs to be
ordered. He did get the new sliding
panel back in the screen door, lubed the big awning that was squeaking badly,
put some missing screws back in that were somehow missing in the water hookup
area of the RV, sanded and painted the part of the panel that was rusting badly
and glued the rubber gasket all back on.
He could not repair the toilet valve so parts will be ordered along with
the motor. It’s a slight possibility he
will be back next week, but more likely the week after.
After lunch Bill went back
to work and I left for Urgent Care. The
wait was short and they don’t have a real answer for me but decided on another
injection of prednisone and starting on benedryl. No more alcohol, more cool face packs and
wash only with mild soap and warm water.
Hope this gets me on a better track.
From there I stopped at
Wal-mart for a few groceries, a new Keurig machine, mild soap and some aloe
vera. However, I forgot the benedryl, so
got off at the next exit and ran into Wal-greens.
Really didn’t do much the
rest of the day. Bill was in and
out. It was his turn to buy pizza for
the owners, the other work couple and the new helper. It’s always pizza and fried shrimp. Bill ordered it and I had a piece of my
leftover quiche from last night. He came
home for a bit of dessert with me and took a short break and then went back til
about 11.
I watched a bit of TV and
read. AND tried my new Keurig and had a
HOT cup of coffee for a change!
August 11 - It was a better day, hope I’m not jinxing
myself! I went out with Bill after
breakfast and helped him with the bathhouse, Cadillac and portolets. Then he dropped me off and came back for me
at 11 to do it all again. Then it
started getting hot out and right now I can’t be getting too sweaty. My swelling was down a lot this morning, but
tomorrow will tell the story. I’m
concerned that the shot does great for the first day but then my body takes
over and I’ll swell again!
It was a rather boring day
for me. I finished a book, did some
crocheting and made a blueberry crisp.
Bill came and went throughout the day so I spent a lot of time with
Molly. Bill took another load of towels,
sheets, etc, up to the laundry. I hope
we’re going to start slowing down on the poison ivy so the laundry slows too. Bill is better in some spots and worse in
others. It’s been just over a week, so….
Bill had to work the front
tonight and check passes. He’s using his
Deet spray as the mosquitoes are out at dusk.
He doesn’t need any other itches to scratch!
We had the last of the
quiche for dinner and some crisp.
We got to tour a school bus
that’s being converted to an RV. He guy
is a carpenter and electrician by trade and has done a great job on it. He and his wife have 4 children and have sold
their house and they are staying here probably to the end of the season while
he completes the inside. He had
apartment size stove and fridge and a HUGE TV, a queen bed for he and his wife,
2 bunks on each side of the bus, a couch area behind the driver and is almost
done putting the bathroom in. It's really nice but tight inside. Right now they ahve a portable AC but he wired the ceiling for 2 roof mounts but said the bathroom is more important. He said
eventually he has to paint it as you’re not allowed to leave it looking like a
regular school bus.
Looking forward to 4 days to
do some fun things and no more scratching!
