I'm ready to go home... but hubby isn't...

 I have told hubby before, and I've told him again, anything longer than 3 days in one place is too long.  We've been here since Friday, and here it is Monday, and I'm ready to pack up and go home.  Can I complain a bit?  Neither of us are sleeping well in the bed; there has to be about 10" of foam on the top and we both are used to a firm mattress.  We toss and turn all night long.  We both wake up cranky.  Hubby actually came in here at 3:30AM he said to try and get some sleep. I flip flopped until about 5:30 before I actually got up.  No reason to get up.... 

Being lazy and catching up on rest is always a good thing; don't get me wrong.  But the constant sitting and all is not for me.  We sit outside most of the day, and it has rained a soft steady rain and we enjoy it.  But, one can only read or crochet so much.  I finished one book and am almost halfway through another on my kindle.   I actually did get hubby to go for a short walk yesterday morning; we walked around this 'circle' which is .47 of a mile.  He only would go one time.  But at least we did something.

Today, after I figure out breakfast, we will head to ShowLow to fill up the gas tank and maybe find some shops to go through.  Got to break up the monotomy of just sitting here.  We are just too isolated here, I think.  The lighting in the cabin is terrible and even trying to read my Bible has proven extremely difficult so I haven't been able to read as much as I wanted to.  Yeah, we won't stay here again.  I got to have light to read.

We will be here until Wednesday... and I hope I survive. 

Today is our 41st anniversary.  Never would have thought we would have made it that long. Seriously, if it wasn't for God, we wouldn't have.  It has been a very tough marriage, and without God's help, I would hae ..... well, there are several options; depends on where I was at that moment.  But I chose to obey God and stick it out.  So here we are and here we sit.  Told hubby protein shakes for breakfast today; I ain't cooking.  

Since we haven't gone anywhere to speak of, I really don't have much to write about.  I'm not even doing any online shopping - imagine that!  Found the wifi code yesterday... sigh... hubby had just told me wifi was spotty so I didn'tthink much of it... until I read the papers yesterday and saw there was a code.  duh.  Still using my hotspot this morning; the paper is 'over there' and I don't want to get up.  Don't like the couch either.  

(erase erase)

And there I go again, letting my thoughts go.... so will hush and sign off.  Maybe, just maybe, if we go in to Show Low today and do something, I'll have something to tell.  Have a good day.

Belssings!
