Not sure where the time goes each day, but it does. I get up relatively early, well – OK, not that early, but it is always before 8am. I take the kids for a walk, Winston trotting along and Safiya in her knapsack, around the RV park. Then back to the RV and feed them, while I either have a cup of coffee or tea. I then do Wordle which doesn’t take much time, and check my email which also doesn’t take too long. I then read a few chapters in whatever book I am reading and contemplate some sort of breakfast. Walk again between 1:00 and 2:00, and again after 6pm. In between the first, second, and third walks I either go biking, swimming or play pickle ball.
During the week here in Galveston there are events happening most days and I partake in the following: Monday & Wednesdays are flexibility classes and I ride my bike on the beach. Tuesdays & Thursdays we have water aerobics, pickleball, and a bike ride on the beach if I can fit it in before the water aerobics, otherwise it gets too hot. Fridays – Sundays are free days for me to choose what I want to do. Most times it’s a bike ride on the beach (did 16k the other day) if the wind isn’t too bad, followed with some exercises in the pool to cool down.
Every day is a reading day and I am reading on average two books a week since this journey started. This equates to over 70 books in total. Not bad!
I also watch/stream a lot. Love cooking shows and really liked the new Luther movie on Netflix. The people at Jamaica Beach are really nice and there is always someone to stop and talk to when we are out and about, so I don’t really get bored and am never lonely.
Amazon also ships anywhere you are so I get Winston’s Canadian dog food delivered and Safiya’s food delivered, along with books/water toys/things for the RV etc. Today I received a bath mat and a book, “Become a Wellness Champion”. I am looking forward to giving this a read as it came highly recommended by a couple of friends, Sharon & Nicole.
So being stationary doesn’t mean you have to be stationary :). Living life in the moment each day is my mantra and it continues to plant a smile on my face. While I’ll be back in Canada in a month, I will miss being down in the U.S., travelling to new places and meeting new people. Upside? I get to see my family and figure out what 6 months in Canada is going to look like this time around.
It’s been a while since Lori posted about the fur babies, so here is an update. They are enjoying this phase of the trip. They love it outside, they love it inside, and are exhausted at the end of each day.
