Best Laid Plans

Apache Junction, AZ   High 101  Low 74

Jim’s doctor’s appointment went well today. They cardiologist gave him a B and told him to get out and do more walking. However, she also wanted blood work done and he had to be fasting. So we aren’t leaving tomorrow as planned.

After watching the weather, I think that is a smart move. Northern Arizona is under a high wind warning tomorrow so we probably wouldn’t be headed out anyhow. Hopefully Friday morning we’ll be on the road. At least almost everything is done and I’ll have time to do one more load of laundry.

Skittlez is getting nervous with all the packing up activity and threw up a couple of times yesterday. I spent a lot of time calming her down and today she seems to be okay. She does not like to get ready to travel. When we finally get on the road she settles down and sleeps. Scooter doesn’t get very upset – she just wants to chase rabbits.

That’s about it from here.

  2. Glad to hear Jim got a B...I would not want to be traveling in all that wind either.

    One of our pups knows before we do that we are moving...it's Sally and she starts hiding a few days before we leave and won't eat! Like Skittllez, once we are in the road she is ok!

  3. All three of the Traveling Longdogs are thrilled to go on the road. The RV pulls up in the driveway and they want out there NOW. They try to sneak out the door and race to the truck or the 5th wheel if the door is open. Glad Jim's news was good. Watch out for that wind.

  5. Wind? No way. Good idea to stay put, even if Jim can't snack tonight. :c)

  9. Fully understand you guys not wanting to drive in those stron AZ winds. Between the wind and dust it's just too dangerous out there. Be safe and have a fun.

  10. Driving our home on wheels in the wind is definitely NO FUN !

    Bennie gets nervous also when he sees me moving around too much. They are so smart those fur babies of ours.

  11. Good for Jim! I'd be staying put, too. I don't drive if the wind gusts will be more than 20 mph.
