Oh it’s frightful outside

Oh My it’s frightful outsdie!! What a chilly morning it was!  I slept in again today!  I was up earlier today then yesterday but i have to admit i was up most of the night with a aching back and legs.  I was up and then straight to the couch with a morning of doing nothing!  My body does not like the cold at all.  I’m experiencing pain in my left knee as well.  I know that someday i will have to have a knee replacement due to the fact that my left leg carries all my weight and stress from a back injury that has nerve damage on my right leg and it can not carry the weight it should.  I find that getting up and down in low places is getting harder and harder.  Today when i went to get inside the truck i struggled getting in.  Hmmm is it the weather or is my knee getting worse?

After lunch i did get a load of laundry going. A day like today makes me thankful for the washer in our home.  Then the rest of my afternoon was spent resting.  Actually i spent the afternoon reading the beginning of my blog and i can’t believe we spent our first winter in our RV in the extreme cold and survived it.  At times i miss our motor home Ms. Southwind, she was such a good home for us and we have lots of good memories but i have to admit having the more room in the 5th wheel with all the slide outs is very nice since we tend to stay for longer periods.  Hubby is much more happier driving our truck and 5th wheel.  The motor home was very uncomfortable for him to drive being a tall big man.  I miss the good gas mileage our car got compared to the truck for daily errands and stuff.  We have discussed getting a car but there is just no way i could drive it when we travel from place to place.  Another advantage is now that we have 2 grandkids they have much more room to play.  We are really happy with our decision to upgrade.  It’s hard to believe we’re going on 2 years now with our new home.  


With the cold weather I've moved my flowers inside to the warmth.  I’m sure their much happier inside then outside on a day like today.  One thing about it, we are nice and warm and toasty inside the comforts of our home.  I am looking forward to warmer temps soon.  I’m rethinking our decision to stay around until after Thanksgiving.  I sure am praying the weather holds out.  I’m miserable when it’s cold. Once again i up late, it’s 2 am and i can not get to sleep due to my back pain.  Getting comfortable is impossible so I'm waiting for my pain med’s to kick in before hitting the hay again.
