Heebie-Jeebies

I had to look up that expression after Jim was saying that's what I get when we go to the trailer.  Heebie-jeebies is used to describe a feeling of anxiety, apprehension, depression or illness.  I have no idea why this is happening to me after all our years of camping, but I'm now safely ensconced in our apartment and things seem to be getting back to normal for me.  I've been back to the trailer on several occasions for a few hours while Jim tends to his lawns and gardens, but I'm so relieved when I'm safely back in my little nook.

Hot, hot days!

We've endured some incredibly hot days this past week, and I'm not handling them very well.  When the inside temperature of the trailer hit 93F with the air conditioner on, we decided it was time to move our poor cats and me home until things have cooled down significantly.  I'm keeping an eye on the long range forecast, but so far I'm quite happy here in the apartment!  Jim and I enjoyed another great train adventure up to Ottawa on the weekend and a lovely visit with my siblings and their spouses.  We had fun using our Magic Jack phone on our computer on the train with VIA Rail's free WiFi.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

I was saying to Jim the other day that it's too bad we couldn't afford an old camper van or motorhome so that when my brain got scrambled while traveling, that I could just go lie down and let it get back to normal.  Jim has been finding it increasingly stressful traveling with me, as my anxiety level rises, and I start clutching at doors, dashboards, and even the air.  We came up with the perfect solution, and something we could easily afford.  A single size airbed and little curtains.  We made the 3 hour trip to Ottawa on the weekend, and were delighted how well it worked for both of us.  With my headphones on and the curtains closed, my brain can drift around and sort itself out just fine. 

Happy Canada Day

And of course I want to wish my American friends a Happy Independence Day on the 4th.  My morning has been spent trying to fix a technical glitch.  For two days now I've been getting failure notices that various servers were blocking emails sent from my KOS server, because of a high volume of spam.  Now how on earth can I keep in touch with my many friends if my emails are being refused?  I have now spent the better part of four  hours trying to get all my contacts into my yahoo email account.  Most of you know what a totally exasperating task this can be.  Believe me, you do not want to try to do this with a demented brain!!!
