Bob had a really tough night last night. He started to feel sick again. And he started to get really bad tingles. He went to bed at about 9pm. It was still 95 degrees in the rv. I sat up and read a while. I finally decided that I needed to get to sleep even though I was not sleepy. I got in bed and lay there for about an hour. Could not fall asleep. Bob was having the same trouble. He took some of his pills (which he was afraid to do because he was going to be driving the next day) and I got back up. I sat up and read until almost 2 am and finally went to bed, but woke up to all of the noise in a Wal-Mart parking lot at 6 am (5am my time). So I didn't get much sleep.
But Bob woke up saying he felt so much better - and he has continued to feel pretty good all day today.
We got another early start, filled the gas tank and got the tires checked before we took off. We had a little spat because Bob turned left when I told him turn right. Then his seat belt thingeee noise went off I told him to put his seat belt on. He didn't say anything, so I thought he didn't hear me. So I really yelled at him to put his seat belt on and he got made because I was yelling at him. That did not get us off to a good start. I was pretty anxious all day. I don't know if it was because of the spat, or maybe something else, but I don't like being anxious.
Well, the trip - I must say that western Idaho is really ugly and boring. Very hardscrabble existences and not much to see in the way of scenery. So we pulled out the audio book that we started listening to on our way back from Pendleton three weeks ago. We couldn't remember anything about the story, so we started listening to it all over again. It makes the time go by much more quickly.
Once we got past Idaho Falls, we got off the freeway and started seeing some really beautiful country. First it was very very very green fields. (My guess is alfalfa.) Really pretty. Then we started up the mountains. Betsy is pretty big and pretty heavy. The going up is slow because of the size of Betsy and pulling the car. The going down is also slow because of the size of Betsy and pulling the car. So we pulled over a lot to let people pass, but going slow felt really nice.
The Tetons are gorgeous so far. We are still in Idaho in a small campground. Very friendly, very clean. Great views. It is 8:30 and still over 80 degrees outside. We tried sitting outside after dinner. The wind was picking up so Bob took off his hearing aid and set it on the small table. We went for a walk. When we came back, hearing aid was no where to be seen. After about 20 minutes of crawling around on the grass on our hands and knees, we finally found it. I can't imagine going for two months without Bob having a hearing aid. My throat would be raw.
But all is now well. The two laptops are working well, as is the Jet Pack. Yeah. More happening tomorrow.
