Beautiful Sunday

Got an e-mail and a IM from Janee this morning. I do miss her. She is a little ways Southwest of Kansas City, Missouri. HE finally left, now it's time to start her life over. Only now with HIM gone, she's all alone in this big cruel world. At least until she gets to her second home in Bloomington. I really wish I was there for her. How long before I don't miss her so much? Have not had a good nights sleep since she left. All I can think about is that she's gone. Please come back soon. October/November is such a long way away.

Saturday

They, Janee and HIM, only made about 200 miles yesterday. Unless something unforeseen comes up, they should be in Wichita today. This is where they are supposed to seperate and go their individual ways. Janee will not be a happy camper. But, I think it will be the best thing that can happen for her. She needs that away from HIM time.

As for me, it was just another boring day at FHTV. Rode my bike around the park and checked on all the houses and vehicles that I'm watching. Everything is OK.

Can't wait until I hear from Janee. I really miss her.

A Couple of Updates

I went to the doctor this morning for my latest post surgery check-up. Everything is healing just fine. I have been released from his medical care. Back feels great.

After the doctor I went to the Chevy dealer and had my car's oil changed and tires rotated. Every 3000 miles whether it needs it or not.

From there I went to La Mesa RV to look at Class C motorhomes. Looked at 4 or 5 and found one I really liked. Took it for a short ride and decided that I would like to buy it. After filling out all their paperwork, the finance person wanted 20 or 30 thousand down. I don't remember my exact words. But if he does what I told him he won't be able to sit down for quite a while.

I even received an e-mail from Janee. She and HIM are doing fine except for the strong cross winds. They have made a little over 500 miles in two days. Janee thinks that Wichita is another 3 days drive, that's where he will head North without her (in theory). It's only 400 miles from where they are now. I think that she is trying to postppone the seperation anxiety that will come with HIM leaving. They should be there in less than 2 days. Less than 1 day if HE was driving alone.

MaryAnn called this morning and said that her knee replacement surgery will be on July 21. That means that I will probably be in Colorado from late July until early September.

Busy, Busy, Busy

With Janee gone, I've got to start finding things to do to get my mind off of her. So here's what I did today. Started the day by checking to see if Arizona insurance is less expensive than in Colorado for the motorhome. It's not. It came to about $600 more. Agent said they have more lousy drivers here. I then went to Department of Motor Vehicles to see about license plates and drivers license. What a zoo. They couldn't give me any information about price until I was actually buying the plates. Didn't even ask about drivers license. Next I came home and did some more research on Class C motorhomes. Found a couple more that I want to look at in person. Mark, middle son, called and wanted to know if I had Skype, for instant messaging and video conferencing. When I told him no, he called me a cheap illegitimate child. My kids love me. So I signed up for Skype and now can do instant messaging on 3 different platforms (Skype, Microsoft and Yahoo). Then I researched some web cams and ordered one that should be delivered next week. I will then be able to talk to and see others that have web cams. Whew, I'm tired after all that. The good part is that I only thought about Janee maybe 20 or 30 times. I miss her.

They Really Did It

The "kids" finally really left about 9:30 am Wednesday morning. Ending their first day on the road together in Las Cruces, New Mexico at 4:00 pm. That's about six and one half hours. Not bad for Janee who swore she almost never went over five hours (10:00 am to 3:00 pm) a day driving. I guess HE didn't want to stop that early and whatever HE says goes. Janee told me not to guess at the future in my blog. But I'm going to make a hopeful prediction anyway. I hope this summer will cause her to temper her feelings for HIM. It's not a win/win siutuation for her.

As for me, hopefully I will get my shit together and control my emotions. It's going to be a long lonely summer.

I finally found an eye doctor and had my eyes checked yesterday. Healthy eyes and a very small change in vision since last check-up, 2 years ago. My current lenses are scratched so I ordered new ones. Delivery in about 1 1/2 weeks. Back is doing very well. Almost no pain for the last two days.

Today for Sure

Well as expected they did not leave yesterday. However, they are both completely ready to go. When everything was ready yesterday it was 4:00, too late to leave. Jack and Janee decided to empty my motorhome for me, since I'm still recovering from the back surgery and can't carry anything heavy. And they did it. In order to thank them, for all that work and everything else they have both done for me during my recuperation, I took them out to dinner. We went to Texas Roadhouse and had a great time. Janee had falling off the bone ribs. Jack and I had filet. We all agreed it was wonderful. Dropped them off at Janee's RV about 9:30 and I came home and cried in my beer. They really are leaving this time. I will miss them both. One more than the other. See you guys in the Fall.

Leaving Again

Well it's Tuesday morning. The 5th or 6th Tuesday that Janee is planning on leaving Tucson. Not going to happen, again. She's pretty much ready to go, but Jack is still behind in his packing.

We (Jack, Janee and I) spent yesterday afternoon looking at Class B and C motorhomes. I'm thinking about trading my Class A for a smaller unit. Last night they went to a meeting of a bicycle club. I have no idea why, since they are both leaving (sometime) for the summer. Why were they doing all that instead of packing? I don't think either of them wants to leave the other one. So any excuse to postpone the exit is a good one.

I have a company coming this morning to wash the exterior of my motorhome. Will try to find someone to come over and clean the interior. Maybe Merry Maids. Once it's all cleaned up I may not want to get rid of it. If diesel fuel prices keep going up that may make up my mind.
