Thank you so much Dolly, terrific thread open!
Hope you were able to get some good sleep in your “undisclosed location” motel room.
But why would I think you were up most of the night putting together the new thread?
Rest now, you deserve it.
hi. you (and everyone else) are welcome for the thread.
It is a labor of love (although a PIA at times)
I just did it this morning. Had a decent night of sleep not superior but adequate -and so did Lucy. heating pad helped and I had gone to chiropractor Monday AM..We are both better today. It took me 5 hours to find a place to stay. ALL in my close area were NO pets.. except LaQuinta and two things were negatives... price and lobby access. I like the old fashioned type (the new ones have it) that you park in front of your door & load & unload more easily. Im not worried about security. 2nd amendment mamas are comfortable with . having worked in a 3 star with interior entrances I can attest that trouble will find you in that type of facility very easily.
I had been driving place to place... REALLY surprised about no pets(including the one I spent 3 months at two winters ago).. well finally went on line and put in zip code and pet friendly hotel (should have done that much sooner) and found Motel 6 are pet friendly. Price was better than closer places, it is fairly new (5 years) and quite clean and comfy. The manager/ower is really nice and I like the husband/wife housekeepers. This is were God wanted me. Not that far from home.. about 10 miles and I can go the back roads with only one traffic light.
Will be here a few days .. maybe a week.. maybe longer if I can figure out a way
I unloaded my van with the things Ill use here. My Oil diffuser has been gong for several hours. Have a combo of geranium, oregano and tea tree oil. That will help both Lucy and me with our issues.
Unloaded a crock pot and Electric skillet. As I was doing that knocked over a box full of the little craft /jewelry boxes that i had in a cardboard box. 6 boxes of jewelry & beads all over the parking lot. They all had rubber bands but the bands were on all summer and had deteriorated & broke . Fortunately that was early in AM and it was still cool out. I put down a towel, sat on it & put stuff away. it was actually fun to see my stuff which as been buried in back/bottom of the rear of van
Going to watch a few Library movies(First Equalizer is one) and later this PM go to home feed ferals kitties take Lucy to lake to do stick, and buy some dried pasta and cheese and a few other things to cook up.
I aam going to air out, dry out the van in sun for several days. The begin a regime of bleach to disinfect & de-mold. Will clean along the way.
later all.. have a good Tuesday.. Rally on Thursday .. whoopee...
