Well, folks, we are in Texas in August. For those of us used to turning on the faucet and waiting for the water to get cold I have news, you can wait all day but you’re never going to get less than tepid. Why is it places down here have water heaters but not water coolers?
But, I am sleeping wonderfully well. Yay! Maybe there is something to this ” early to bed” bit? It can’t be physical tiredness can it? Although when traveling the walks to meals and bathrooms do tend to be a bit longer than at home, it’s not like I’ve been doing any hiking or anything. Could this still be a side effect of eating clean before the trip? They do say eating that way will improve your sleep. But, we sure haven’t been making the best food choices all along they way.
That all for this news report. Now back to our regularly scheduled day.
——————-
Eating clean can be a much bigger challenge than you would think. One of the rules during the Whole 30 is no sweeteners of any type. That’s why reading ingredients of prepared foods is so important. But who would think of salt as a prepared food? Just imagine our surprise this morning when Dave read the salt packet in the breakfast room. It said, “salt, sodium silicoaluminate, calcium sulfate, dextrose, potassium iodide.” Did you see it? “dextrose”. Those of you familiar with the -ose words will recognize that as sugar. There is sugar in the salt!
We spent about 3 1/2 hours at Sportsmobile asking and answering questions. Do you know that saying about not knowing what you don’t know? Even after all our years full-timing we learned more things today. We are now much more confident that the things we finally ordered are the right things. We learned a lot about what would and wouldn’t work and why. And we taught them a couple things they didn’t know. Paul even took pictures of my Travel Scoot.
Had to laugh at our GPS today. When teaching it to read, it was obvious that “St.” would be read street, right? Until we turned onto St. John St. which our GPS announced as “street John street.” 😀
So, now we are back in the motel with a bit of afternoon and all evening to try to catch up on all the computer stuff that has been accumulating the last four days. May not be able to do it, though, since I’ve pretty much used up all my brain cells on Sportsmobile and travel challenges. It might be nap time. We’ll see.
TTYL,
Linda
ps. to Bruce. I hope you forgive us for not being home today. Have fun at John’s tonight.
Pictures?????
We spent a lot of Augusts in Texas but if you’re in Houston, you’re much more humid than we were. One thing for sure is that the air conditioners work well. That can make for a good night’s sleep.
