I made it to the Seaside Baptist Church service at 9 am with Jack at Bombay Beach. That was after I got stuck in the sand with my Vespa twice and three fellows helped me get the bike out. Madigan loved it there running all over the beach with the other church dogs before the service began and he settled down at my feet.
After I rode to the Community Cafe and had a muffin and cafe latte writing journaling about the church. A young fellow played drums and a girl played violin. I spoke to a no mad.
I filled up the tank when I got back with the Jerry can gas I’d carried on the back of the Adventure camper forever.
The propane went out at the same time in the morning as the power went out confounding diagnosis. I was able to switch tanks and the refrigerater had only gone from 32 to 38. It quickly cooled down again. I had a couple of showers today enjoying the knowledge a tank lasts a week. I spent some time in the Lobster Pot hot tub and also spend some time lying in the sun reading.
I’m getting the propane filled tomorrow as the propane guy comes 1045 to 1145. I learned this at the office . It’s a holiday but I’m booked for the morning and will just have to tell someone I’ll need to run and get the propane , a half hour out of the day , the last patient moved later.
My nephews and great nephews have been in heavy snow in Ottawa and Napanee. Laura’s had rain and snow but it’s warming up in Vancouver. I don’t like cold anymore.
I’m enjoying Elon Musk and Trump exposing billions of dollars of tax payer money gone awry. I’d love a DOGE in Canada to expose the Liberal waste and corruption. I am hopeful that costs still will go down and we’ll see our buying power restored. I’ve been thinking of trading the 5th wheel in for a bus but have to sort out my eye sight. I really do like this camper for now. It does it all.
I’ve been sitting outside on my recliner in the afternoon sun reading. In the south and summer the outdoors are another room.
The hot springs and steam room continue to be heavenly.
I loved my massage though would like a chiropractic adjustment for my thoracic and low back areas. I need to exercise more. Yoga and tai chi and dancing. I was pleased that I got my mini guitar out and enjoyed playing . The strings are too high so need a professional adjustment but it was good to play. Now I’ll have to work on a set again. This time spiritual music. I’ve a couple of hymns I was learning and would like to memorize and play again. It’s been a while. I so enjoyed playing the guitar in the islands , before Covid, before my hearing aids.
I have books to write and am avoiding that .
Right now I’m enjoying reading another Hiassen Squirm. I just finished Winter King Bernard Crowell.
I have to decide whether to leave on Friday or stay another week. I think of stopping at Oceanside and Gold Coast on the way back. There’s exploring to be done and meandering. I have only three days travel each weekend , sometimes only two days and then I’ve 4 days of work to do before my next jaunt north.
I’ve tickets to Bruce Cockburn Friday March 14.
I’m immersed in self care here, physically walking Madigan a lot and taking the waters. Spiritually I’m attending in person meetings and on line meetings and reading the Bible again. John. I could make a go of rereading the big book.
I’ve tried the Hamm but made no contact. I’ve not needed the satellite phone. I’ve not need the second AT&T cell phone except that first week. Telus and IPhone and Starlink are meeting all my needs .
I’m not sure what my purpose is .I’m the eyes and ears and hands of God. There comes a point in enlightenment when ‘you shit when you’re shitting’. I’m doing better at being in the present. I’m talking to God and asking his will and the power to carry that out. I’m a spiritual being in this human life. It’s an adventure. I’m more positive and occasionally know joy. There are pastels in my pictures and major 7ths. I’m truly blessed and thankful.
Thank you God for the air.
