Sunday sunrise

This photo was yesterday’s sunrise. Managing heat overnight without my furnace has meant I’ve been up and down and yesterday (Sunday), it caught up with me. I ran out of steam late afternoon, retreated to Wild Thing, put on my jammies, made tea, made ginger syrup, had crackers for supper, walked Bear and went to bed. It was dark, but sunset is early.

It was warmer last night so I skipped the middle of the night heat up and feel more rested this morning. I have an appointment to get the furnace looked at on Wednesday – hopefully something easy.

Lunchtime walk

Bear and I have been walking at a wonderful venue: Coller Wildlife Area. There are three entrances several miles from home base with miles of not bad road to walk or Jeep or 4 wheel, but we park the Jeep and walk along the Rio Grande.

Full moon

The branches I intended…the wire, I couldn’t help.

Full moon.

***RV notes: Propane furnace won’t light and previous fix of starting engine did not resolve. The frig does not show a fault like it did last time the furnace failed. Fortunately it is not super cold and I have a heat pump for when the temp is above 40 (9 a.m. – 7:30/8:00 p.m.), electric heaters and a floor heating system with the engine. We’ll be fine until Wednesday when we have an appointment at a shop.

***Auggie and Bear saw the vet here today. Routine stuff that I ran out of time for before I left home. All well and a very nice vet.

Hopefully a calmer night today and day tomorrow – Friday!

Settling in

Three nights and I’m finally feeling really rested. Except for the very windy night before the last leg, I’ve slept well, but juggling travelling, work, rv stuff and thinking about Bear and Auggie…it subtly catches up.

Auggie is doing much better than I anticipated at being an indoor cat for the trip. It helps that the inside of the motorhome is kind of a cat “jungle gym”…

… lots of things to climb, jump onto and into, go under, etc.

And plenty of windows up high to watch the goings on in the neighborhood: deer, turkeys, dogs, cats, people and a lot of birds.

Bear keeps an eye out mostly from the dash where he also keeps me company when I’m working.

We are all settling in to a different routine and enjoying the change and time with family.
