Don’t go near the water.

We’re right next to the Mississippi river and I feel terrible. I’ve had the same FM and CF symptoms I experienced back in Florida. So, living near the water is not an option for me. It’s looking more and more like the high desert is the place to be.

We’ve been at the casino campground three days and the only gambling we’ve done is on a lottery ticket. I won $5 on a $1 ticket though, so at least I’m ahead. We’re hoping to squeeze in some slots or something today but we want Ed to have fun too. Yesterday we ran errands in Memphis since there is nothing but cotton fields for miles once you leave the casinos. I bought some parts for the generator, at a wholesaler no less – woohoo! It’s very hard to be my normal deal hunting self. Ordering things from the Internet is iffy while we’re on the move and buying bulk of anything is not an option. We did get mail forwarding set up with American Homebase this week. I’m looking forward to receiving mail again soon.

I guess the excitement and novelty of RVing is wearing off. Either that or the way I feel is just getting to me. I’m having trouble seeing beyond the headaches to the fun. We had heavy rain this week and the roof leaked in the bathroom. I bought some silicone sealant but don’t look forward to crawling around on the roof trying to find the cracks. Also, the ants are unstoppable! We’ve sprayed enough ant chemical to put us into a coma and still they keep coming. We picked up groceries last night and double bagged everything that isn’t frozen in ziplock storage bags. Hopefully, the weather will be better the rest of this week so we don’t have to spend as much time inside the RV fraying each others nerves. With my adrenal glands shot, I have no patience and Ed loves to push my buttons when he’s unhappy. I know I’ve been a bear to live with since getting sick. Unfortunately, it’s only harder to live with me in confined quarters. I just thank God we didn’t buy one of those really tiny Class C RVs we thought about!
