Trip to Urgent Care

August 4 – It was hard getting up this morning for another 8 AM day.  Not enough wind down time last night.  It’s also a challenge to go to work for someone who continually tells you what “tasks” you need to do.  I try to avoid going into the office and let Bill go.  I think this is going to be a REALLY long month for us.  I know it will be for me.  We hit the bath house first as usual and there were lots coming and going already, making difficult to cut off traffic and clean properly.  I only managed to clean one of the 4 showers.

We hauled several loads of trash as we made our way to the Cadillac and portolets.  We went back to try the showers again and I managed to get another one done and we had to empty the cans at the bathhouse again.  There are those who think that is better than putting their trash by the site post like they have been asked to do.  

Bill’s poison oak/ivy had gotten really bad and all over so I asked Jean if she knew of a Urgent Care but she didn’t.  I told her on our break time we needed to find one to try and get Bill something stronger than OTC cream.  She urged us to go when ever we needed.  So we left working at 10:30 and didn’t even change clothes just grabbed our wallets and left for an urgent care facility about 7 miles south of us.  They were not busy at all and he got right in.  The Dr. confirmed it was poison oak or ivy and gave him an injection, a script and commented that I’d be in next week.  That’s not too encouraging.  I have 2 spots on the inside of my knees that don’t itch at all so I don’t touch them.

We stopped at the office to see what time they needed us back and were told 6 – 10.  So we had a nice long break.  Bill did go out and ride his bike and picked up some cans/bottles for recycle. We had leftovers for dinner before heading back.  It was a long 4 hours!  Once Bill starts checking passes, I do continual bathroom checks, trash pick ups, chat up the guests.  We have a large groups on 2 sites that are the nicest folks.  We stop and joke around with them and they have 3 dogs and Bill takes them treats.  They produce a lot of beer bottles.  In Michigan when you buy beer and soda you pay a .10 deposit on the bottles/cans, like in the old days when I was a kid we got .02 for bottles.  A lot of people just put them in the trash or back in the boxes they bought them in and set them out. The Wal-marts, Sam's and Meijers have recycle rooms in their stores and give you a receipt to turn in for the cash or pay against your purchase.

Nothing exciting happened, but we do have a full house!  It was not as chilly out as it was last night.  Had our jackets on hand but didn’t need them.  Was glad to see 10 pm roll around.  Actually we left at 9:45 to freshen up the bathhouse.  I had done the Cadillac just before.  They had gone through a lot of TP in there.  Figure each site on that side had at least 4 people on it, and a lot of in tents, cabins and pop up campers that don’t have toilets, so with say there are 25 of those sites, that’s 100 people to use 2 stalls and a large percentage of those 100 are drinking a lot of beer!  So once we did our final bathroom check we headed home!
