Mammoth Workhorse, Day 18

Tuesday, June 2

U boxes due today...but when? I'm hoping to suggest New Clock for breakfast again, but I really hate eating breakfast at 11 o'clock. I have to eat before we go and then I don't feel like paying fifteen dollars for a second breakfast.

It ended up with Ed and Edw going to meet the boxes while I cooked spam, did the chores, and then waited around while May took her two hour shower. I guess it’s worthwhile spending three or four hours in the bathroom everyday, if you want to be beautiful. Me, I’d rather have fun.

Needless to say, we didn’t get there until Ed and Edw had unloaded one whole box and started on a second one. All the help I could have provided did not happen. I helped with the last two, of course.

Then went with May to get food. She drove. I still have the nervous jitters from that experience.

Much later:

They decided to spend the night in their new house, so it's over. I won’t be fixing the kids  breakfast in the motorhome anymore. And no more soccer practice in the RV park. Or ping pong. Those were the things I liked. So I’m a little sad but hey, it had to end sometime. Regrets are a fact of life and I've had plenty of years to learn to live with them. 

But it still feels lonesome.
