Day of rest and recuperation

Location:  Saddle Mountain BLM near Tonopah, Arizona

Felt much better throughout the night last night, but still could not sleep soundly.  The tickling of the nose and the watering of the eyes  has stopped for the most part and I could breathe without too much difficulty.  Kept waking up every hour and at every four hours I would take a couple of cold remedy pills.

Again, I waited for the sun to make its appearance before climbing out of bed.  Decided to just rest today.  After breakfast, I actually went back to bed and rested well for a few hours till Yuma got tired of doing nothing and started barking to go out.

Here is Yuma's new resting place as we travel down the road.  He was giving it a test today.

Hope he actually does use the bed as we travel, but will have to wait till tomorrow to find out.

Dolly sent me a picture early this morning of our backyard as it was snowing.  Got about 3-4 inches of the white stuff.  Going down below zero tonight.  Now that's getting cold.

Snow at home in Bloomington, Illinois.

Later in the morning, Dolly called to tell me how excited she was at receiving Valentine's Day flowers today. She was surprised he came out to our home in the country on a snowy day to deliver them.  She just had to give him a tip for being so brave.  I usually have them deliver the day before because they are so busy on the actual Valentine's Day.

Happy Valentine's Day, Dolly!

At three I went up to Deb and Riley's place for a dry Happy Hour.  We just sat around and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon.  I tried to tell Deb how miserable I was, but she wouldn't have any of it.  No sympathy out of that woman, for sure.  I'm sure we'll meet again down the road this winter.  I sure do appreciate their friendship and all the help they gave me with my move to the White Lion.

Time for dinner and finish up with the blog and hopefully a restful night.

Sunset.

  See you later.
