My first week has been a range of emotions. Not my first week of being a widow, that is actually 4 months on October 18, but my first week of no business responsibilities. There have been a few things to finish things before the official closing on October 29.
Monday, I left the campground for good. The place that I have called home for the last 350 months – 29 years 2 months. The unknown of where I will be is what is hard. To have always had an address to now not having an address, it is an interesting emotion.
To go from working 24/7 to zero is extremely tough. To figure out your new life, a new way of doing things by yourself is weird. Eating what and when you want. Not worrying about someone else wants. Eating Chinese leftovers for breakfast or just trail bologna and cheese for supper or not eating at all. Waking up at 3 am and turning on Netflix while still in bed. Today is maintenance day. Sewer hook up, DEF fluid and carb cleaner in the truck. ALL of the stuff is now my responsibility.
Cooking outside at the kid’s campsite and being able to cook on low. No hurry up to get it cooked or interruptions and burn the food. Maybe I will enjoy cooking now.
Highlights of the week:
Myrtle Beach – Hideaway RV Park arrival. Not pulling the rig any of the trip here (Scott did all the driving) but I put Damn it (the 5th wheel) on its site. Crying when I was getting confused on which way to turn the wheel to move the back end of the rig. Finally accomplishing that because of Scotts patience.
Dinner at the beach with full moon
Watching the boats go down the Atlantic Intercoastal Coastal Waterway.

Ron Jon’s Surf Shop – bought a hat to protect my head. No more sun junkie.

Sunday morning reflection. For someone who has always been a planner this is hard. Maybe that is what God is helping me learn. Slow down and take more time for reflection.
Lesson learned this week.
