My Day
I woke up at 8 a.m., to the sound of the radio, since I needed to have it on all night to block the noise of traffic. Living in the country is very different than living in the city since I am not used to the sound of traffic anymore. Now if the noise would have come from chickens, sheep, or goats, I would not have even heard them.

As soon as I woke up, my husband started the coffee. He had been up since about 3 a.m., working on his website since he couldn't sleep. While drinking my coffee, I decided to catch up with the reading of my email and support groups. I checked in all of my groups and began writing a journal entry since I am a bit behind.

I made sure to get all of the dishes done and as soon as I finished, my husband decided to catch a short nap before we left. I showered as quietly as I could and went to the office to pay for our overnight stay. My husband took a very short nap and as soon as he was finished with his shower, he dumped the storage tanks so we could leave. I made sure everything was secure for his ride home and packed my car with all of my stuff.

We left the RV park around 11 a.m., and went searching for a place to eat breakfast. We both needed to head in the same direction for part of the drive, so we hit the road. When we saw an exit with a bunch of choices, my husband called me on my cell phone and suggested Chevy's for lunch. I told him I would prefer to eat a complementary meal during the day and save my Reward Meal for dinner.

We ended up at Lyon's and I was happy to be able to chose the ingredients that I wanted in my omelet. My husband ordered his own breakfast and had extra potatoes and toast since I didn't eat mine. We enjoyed our breakfast and it was time for us to head our separate ways.

On my way to my folks house, I stopped at Walmart to return a couple of items I had picked up on my way to the race track. I called my mom to see if there was anything she needed and since there was no answer, I continued on my way.

When I arrived at my folks house, my sister and her friend where in the garage with my mom and grandma. They were cleaning it up and getting it organized so mom could have the floor painted in the next month or so. I helped to get the garage finished and when we were done, my sister and her friend went home.

As soon as my dad came in from the farm, they went to dinner. They were going to a Mexican restaurant so I had them bring me back an order of Mexican steak. I ate my salad and then decided to only eat half my meal since I was satisfied when I got to that point. I made sure to stop half way throug, so I would have enough for my dinner the following night.

I was really tired from not sleeping very well the night before and as soon as grandma was ready for bed, I was too. I tucked her in for the night, grabbed my pillow and blanket, and was asleep as soon as I hit the couch.
