Day 44: A day at TheHowserHouse to do.......nothing....!

What did I do today????? What happened that might have changed my Life today??? Will this day "stand out" for it's importance in my Life???? Hmmmmmm.........lofty questions.....aren't they??? But........in re-reading all of these questions/thoughts.........none of them reflect upon this day in any way........

Awake at 7am......and that damn little guy with the heavy hammer inside my head was pounding to get out......pounding on my skull......until it was really quite unsettling and very hurtful. Soooo, I moved from the bed upstairs to the sofa down in the den........and then just laid there until it was time to awaken the 1st Lady. She had line dancing class at 9am and so she had to scurry around to get herself ready and over to the Rec Hall in time.

I fixed my Fr. Roast coffee......poured a large cup of this dark steaming liquid....and then returned to the sofa.....having taken a couple of pain killers when the 1st Lady came downstairs. I stayed on the sofa almost the entire time she was gone.....it was QUIET.....and restful to my pounding head. I finally went upstairs, did my morning rituals, and made myself presentable for the world, as my head began to lessen from the pounding pain.

The 1st Lady returned........and I then just laid around, sat outside....and slowly began to feel better than I had for many hours of the night and early morning. We had a bite of lunch a bit later......and then I suggested we take a SLOW bike ride around the resort. The fresh air.....the emerging sunshine....which had been hidden by the thick, gray, moisture laiden clouds......and the small amount of exercise seemed to do me well.....clearing my head just as the sky cleared itself of the thick clouds.

We rode...SLOWLY......throughout the resort......and found ourselves on the east side of the resort. There.........there are new mobile homes for sale and each one is on Open House Display. We walked through several........and found only one that we thought might be interesting to have ......but not at this point in time. Returning to the north section, we went back to TheHowserHouse. A bit later......we headed up to the pool......and spent the next two hours there, soaking in the water....and in the sunshine.

When back at the rv.......we fixed some turkey sandwiches........and then: WOW....the "cold" front blew through from the north, lowering the temps by 15 degrees or more......and with high winds which made all of the rv's shudder and quiver with the strength of the winds.

This evening: American Idol was quite entertaining and very surprising in the large amount of really good talent that performed. It will be really interesting to see who they select for the final 24........I was really impressed by some of these young people!!!!! I can see myself becoming hooked on this show......again! Oh well..........I always did enjoy this program.

I continue to watch, to observe, to enjoy the race for the Democratic nominee for the new President........which can't come tooooo soon. Without a doubt, I am an Obamaman......but, should he not be the nominee, I will vote for Hillary......or even my garbageman before I would vote for the other Party.....this year. As time goes on.......I will elaborate on this subject......not to change your mind, but to help you to understand my strong feelings........the feelings that are a part of my being after all of these years of not only being a citizen, a military veteran, and an educator in our great country.......but, by being a citizen of the wonderful world that we live in.

And so........this day at TheHowserHouse was one of doing not much at all......just having an enjoyable day(after the little man with his hammer in my head.... disappeared).........and realizing 110% that.....

LIFE IS REALLY REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
