Got our flu shots last month, got our pneumonia shots just before that, keeping Halo spray in our mouths so we would side step airborne germs.  Feeling healthy and ready to enjoy San Antonio tomorrow.  I woke up at 3:30am with a migraine, smelled something foul and followed the trail to Millie and KatieBugs crates.  Both dogs had diarrhea. Went to the fridge to get some water for a headache pill and everything was frozen on both sides.  Thought it was time to wake up John and tell him the news.  So, the best laid schemes of mice and men, aka, shit happens!  Today will be spent cooking for the dogs, shopping for a small easy to use vacuum, cleaning up poop and trying to keep the fridge stuff from freezing solid until the repair man gets here tomorrow.  The silver lining?  Wait, I’ll think of something…Oh, how about the day isn’t over yet?

Seems a good swift kick or a firm pop with a hammer is the best tool for repairs.  Have mentioned to John several times that his four tool chests better get some action or they are going to drop off the RV a little at a time.  Twice all we needed was to smack the broken part with a hammer and it began to work.  Good to know when you are headed for the Bureau of Land Management property in Quartzsite, AZ with no hook-ups and nothing around for miles.  Can’t do much if something happens so I’m certainly glad that tools are necessary.

Finally a tiny silver lining for the day.   Dined at a great little hole-in-the-wall tonight.  Organic and locally grown, The Cove was a nice way to end a stressful day.  We sat down to eat and slowly watched a full 10 piece band come in and set up.  It was a great jazz dance band and very enjoyable.  Several generations of ages were all enjoying the food and the music and we stayed for over an hour.  Most of the workers looked like they came from the old Whole Foods store…lots of extra holes, colorful hair, piercings and unusual haircuts but very friendly and a good time was had by all.
