Wednesday, May 1, 2013 – Exhaustion Hits, Plans Change

Although we had planned on leaving to go to Woods Ferry today, I was so exhausted I just couldn’t muster the energy. Much as I want to get out into the woods and relax, my attitude was just too crabby and I felt like I had the possible beginnings of a cold, so we decided it would be better if I just stayed in bed and got as much sleep as I could, so that’s what we did. It’s hard to sleep parked in someone’s back yard, though, especially a busy working farm like this one, where there’s always some activity going on, even if it’s just the roosters!

Tuesday, April 30, 2013 – Travel Back to Charlotte

Didn’t have too great a night sleep, again. I had asked housekeeping to try to do something with the lumps in my bed, and they didn’t do anything, so when I crawled into bed and discovered all the lumps again, I got back up, stripped the bed, and found the offending lumps, and learned the reason was because the corners on the bed liner (which was covering an uncomfortable, non-breathing plastic mattress cover) had completely melted on one side, which accounted for the lumps. I had to call down and have housekeeping bring another one, which turned out to be even worse! Very disappointed in this hotel! In any event, fortunately, my flight was scheduled for late in the day, so I once again didn’t get much sleep overnight, but finally got into a deep sleep around dawn, so at least got a few hours before having to get up and pack. Had an uneventful but comfortable flight home, a tiring drive back to the farm, happy reunions with Hubby and animals, and brief evening before crashing to bed.
