Tuesday, June 25, 2013 – Rest Day at Hungerford


Despite feeling sleepy when I turned my reading lamp out last night, I ended up getting up to write an email that was bugging me, and still took some time getting to sleep after that. Woke up fairly early, laid in bed a while, before finally getting up earlier than what I wanted, but just couldn’t stay in bed anymore. I’m
really looking forward to relaxing here, and I hope that eventually I’ll settle down to a normal schedule, at least like what it used to be. Spent most of the day reading after breakfast, spent a little time disconnecting the RV to make it more level, and also took a look under the truck’s hood, as it’s been making a little noise lately. Determined that the vacuum pump seemed to be gone, so that’s another chore I’ll have to take care of, probably tomorrow. Weather forecast is a lot of rain, even though we only had a short shower early this morning, with sun coming out in the afternoon (but fortunately, not enough to get it too warm) so tomorrow will probably be best. I’m hoping the mostly quiet day will help me get back to sleeping better! Tired of being tired, frankly, but that seems to be the way of things. Sometimes I think we push ourselves too hard, but everyone’s days are numbered, and we’re trying to get in as much as we can, while we can! A tough balance, sometimes. Anyway, got a good portion of the way through my latest book, the first of the Pea Island Trilogy by Tom Lewis, a prolific and diverse author that seems to have no real genre, yet always has a compelling story to tell. The horses had a nice quiet day on the highline, and we kept them fully satisfied with constant hay, though tomorrow we may put them on the anchors to mow the site next to us, the only one with any real grass from what we’ve seen. Finally settled down for the evening, with movies and cocktails till bedtime!
