Friday, July 19, 2019 – Run Into Town, Conference Call and Dialysis

Got up early enough to run into town this morning for horse feed, and I also found a 20-gallon metal trash can I’ve been looking for at an old time hardware store in downtown Logan. On the way out, the fish fry host asked if I wanted to buy his leftover hay, and since I was low, I said yes. I had talked about that the day before with another one of that group who also said he’d sell me his leftovers, but I only have room for so much! Anyway, he sold me 5 ½ bales for the price of 5, and we loaded it up on the back of my truck on the spot. Got my shopping done, and when I got back, there was another even nicer bale of hay on my picnic table, which Hubby said the hay-maker of the group brought down to me. I headed up to pay for it, too, as that was his only available bale, and it was really nice so I wanted to definitely keep it. I tucked it away in the back of the trailer, which I’m now going to have to do with several other bales, since I’ve got too much hay for the back of the truck now! I managed to just get settled down and eat a bowl of cereal before a scheduled conference call with a freelance writer who might be interested in telling our “traveling with dialysis” story to a number of news outlets she writes for. We interviewed for about half an hour, and she seemed pretty positive about it, will let us know early next week. Then we finally settled down to a dialysis session, watching old movies on Prime (what a great selection they have!), just trying to keep cool. With 90+ degree temps and almost the same in humidity, it’s just too darn hot to try to do anything else that requires any energy! It seems this heat wave will break on Sunday night, just in time for our trip further north, so hopefully, next week we’ll finally arrive at the 70’s we’ve been seeking all summer, and so far, not finding! Can’t wait to get up to NY state, though, it’s been 70’s almost all along this summer. Next year, we’ll be up there or in Michigan a month earlier, that’s for sure! Not going to suffer this heat again! Love having a house on wheels, chasing the good weather!
