Well, sometimes I don’t post because I am driving and there
is really nothing exciting to take pictures of or write about. Other times are days when I am working all
day. I teach part-time and have a lot of
work to do grading papers and also getting my online classes ready for the next
semester.
And sometimes I am just doing the stuff everyone else does
when they own a home—cleaning, cooking, laundry, running errands, or
relaxing. For example, the day before
yesterday, I did two loads of laundry, graded some papers, and took a beach
walk. Yesterday, I rode my bike five
miles to the post office to send off some packages to my grandkids, stopped at
the library to print off some tax documents, bought something at a bakery, and
rode back home.
One of the nicest things about being mostly retired and
living on the road full-time is that I am not in a hurry. It is a very different life than traveling
while on vacation. For example, while
you are on vacation, you may drive 1,000 miles in a week and visit three or
four places. I tend to drive maybe
200-300 miles in a week and stay in one or two places. Sometimes I will stay in the same campground
for a week or two, which means I don’t have to sightsee every day. If the weather is a little chilly or foggy as
it was today, I’ll stay home and catch up on things.
Today, it was foggy so I stayed inside all day. I backed up some files from my regular
computer, updated my backup laptop, sorted out some stuff in one of my storage
areas inside, and baked some pasties from scratch. (Also, spent an hour yelling at Microsoft on
the phone, but that is a long story.) Mainly
I have been sitting around today, downloading student narrated PowerPoint presentations,
making sure the sound could be heard, and answering about 30 emails, so it was
really a busy day. Course I had my
satellite TV on, so I was also partly watching some of my favorite programs.
If the weather is sunny tomorrow, I will get my bike out and
go for another ride. I want to check out
some of the other places in this state park, including the other
campground. I always am thinking about
good sites for the next time I am someplace. Also want to do some exploring of
the nearby Fernandina Beach area.
Somehow, the days go by very quickly, but I am still happy
when I do not have too much to do. I
have several books I keep putting off reading, so always welcome some extra
time.
