I know that I should be writing more often than what I have been. But it seem of late that I have been very busy or just plain too tired to even think about getting on the computer.
Work is going great! This week I did voluntary overtime-and that should really help the paycheck and our future trip to California. I do have to say that I think I’m working much harder than what I did last year in Coffeeville.
I had to break down and buy a pair of therapeutic gloves to wear while I’m at work to help my hands from hurting so bad and then braces for at night when I’m sleeping-to help keep them from going numb and tingling. Both seem to be helping greatly.
Last weekend was busy. Friday we went out with another couple (he is working for Amazon) for a nice Prime Rib Dinner. Being it was close by-Brian and I chose to walk to the casino/restaurant and on the way home we caught one of the many beautiful sunsets.
Some of our sunsets around here have been beautiful-and I happen to have the phone with me to take these pics
Then the following day we went Rock Hounding near by. We even manage to see some wild horse in the distant.

this week I volunteered to do overtime-so that shot one of my 3 days off. Since it was a pay-week, we had decided that the both of us needed new glasses. So off to Sparks/Reno we headed.
Brian hasn’t had a good eye exam in a very long time and the Dr. was intrigued with his eye condition. He had study a little in college about what Brian has (Milk Cataract behind the eyes-but never had a patient with his eye condition. At the same time it gave me a new found look at what he (Brian) sees or does not see. The Dr. was impressed that with his vision impairment as it is-that he does not allow it to slow him down.
all in all-there has been little change in Brian’s eye’s. Maybe a little weaker-but not progressing any worse than what had been thought in past exam-which is good.
And of course I too had to have an eye exam. Little change in mine as well and as the Dr. so kindly reminded me: I’m no spring chicken and mine is progressing at the normal speed of me getting older each year…Now where did he ever get the idea that I was growing old????
While in the Sparks/Reno area we had to go check out the worlds largest Scheele's store. It was amazing with two huge aquariums and a Ferris Wheel inside the store!

We did find some nice hats that we have been looking for that is light weight and yet help protect our head, face & neck from the sun.
And then or course today (my last day off) I had to do some minor cleaning of some cupboards that was long past due. Brian does the majority of the cleaning and cooking while I’m at work and does a great job. He even does most of the laundry-I just nicely help him sort it out so that my whites don’t end up with my darks-as he use to do once upon a time-before we were together-but he has come a long ways and learned a lot!
I do appreciate all that he does while I’m at work: Feed Leah, clean, Walk Leah, visits with the neighbors, Plays and Walks Leah, gets dinner ready, Feeds Leah and of course I come home from an exhausting day to a nice hot meal and a clean motorhome!
This week will once again be a bit crazy. The dept. I’m in will have another “Stress Test” on Wednesday and they have changed our schedule for that day-slightly. Instead of our normal 7am-5:30pm; it will be 8:30am-7pm and possibility of another volunteer overtime that yes, I will sign up for.
So until the next time that I’m not busy or tired………….
