Tuesday, January 4, 2022 – Frustrating Day On So Many Levels!

Hi Sweetie,
Well, several things happened to get me upset today, even though I managed to sleep late. Last night after 10:00 some guy in an RV, without horses, tried to park right next to me. I went out and asked him when his horses were coming and he said he didn’t have any, so I mentioned the fact that the sign said Horse Trailer Parking. He said the Forest service guys just told him to park anywhere. Guess the signs meant nothing to him. Not really my place, but it is so frustrating! I mean, this guy can park ANYWHERE, with plenty of space elsewhere in this campground, not to mention the dozens of campgrounds around the area, but he wants to take up on the of maybe eight horse camping sites here at this campground. The nearest other horse camp is more than fifty miles away, but we’re supposed to be okay with someone taking up ONE of the EIGHT campsites within fifty miles that are designated for us. REALLY? Well, no matter, I’m leaving tomorrow anyway. Then I did a search to see where the book package that I sent last week was, and whether it had made it to Wisconsin, the according to the USPS tracking site, they never got it! So unless it suddenly shows up (which I doubt, since it’s been since last Tuesday), then I can only assume it was stolen out of the box it was put in (not by me, I never would have left it in a regular mailbox of a stranger on a busy road, but that’s just me!), or the post office has lost it, which doesn’t seem likely. Anyway, I drove over there to see what might have happened, and the box was full of incoming mail, but no sign of my package. Who knows what happened to it. I’ll wait a couple more days to see if it surfaces, but it looks like I might have to replace it, so now I’m out what little profit I make on these books, plus I’ll have to send another one. Grrr! I should have just done it myself, and put it in a post office box like it should have been in the first place. Oh, well, water under the bridge. I ended up running into a nursery for some hay, figured while I was out I might as well make it worthwhile, and picked up four bales of crappy coastal, which is all they had. Frustrating! Got back, put the hay away, washed the truck because the road here is so dusty and the truck looked truly terrible, though it by the time I get out of here tomorrow it probably will be just as bad, got the trailer hooked up and put most of my stuff away in anticipation of my departure tomorrow. Apollo was back to his old tricks, intentionally knocking over his water, I had to fill his bucket up three times! And I’m not talking little bucket, he’s knocking over the whole 15 gallons, silly boy! Guess he’s bored. I had been hoping to take a quick ride with him today, but too many things got in the way, starting with a load of laundry this morning. I filled up the truck tank and the RV, though I don’t usually like to travel with those full, water is going to be more difficult at the next place, so I’m doing what I can to prepare. Plus it’s only about 50 miles, so I figure it won’t hurt anything. Anyway, the evening is over, time for shower and bed! Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
