It's Saturday morning and I searched Yelp for a coffee shop with free wifi and found an eclectic place on Pearl St called Boxcar something, something. I rode my bicycle here. It's perfect. They've got great ambiance, delicious cappuccino, I'm close to an outlet to charge the electronics and I have strong, free wifi (what a huge blessing that I've taken for granted in the past).
I have a killer site for my Navi--it's in a parking lot behind the Millennium Harvest Hotel in Boulder. I'm under a tree next to a swank Tennis club and am a 5 minute bike ride to my buds at Boulder Creek Co-Housing Community along Boulder Creek.
Matt the manager at the Millennium and his wife Mirenda live in their Class A RV with 6 rescue dogs and 2 cats behind the hotel. Greg and I saw the RV when I was in Boulder in April and asked if I could park my RV there too next time I was in town. Since Matt was the one who owned and lived in that RV, he was fine with me parking mine there too. So, he's allowing me to stay there free of charge. How sweet is that? I met him as I drove in on Thursday and he was under his RV doing repairs. I told him I wished that I had taken that class I heard about where they teach people like me about all the systems in your RV. He said he's a mechanical engineer and would be happy to teach me a few things.
A levels check inside Navi this morning, showed I'm low on water so I need to replenish the water tank today. Greg has offered is water hose at the Gold Run Condos if I can squeeze the Navi in and out of the tight parking lot. They just had dirt delivered yesterday for their community garden and I think it was delivered in a big dump truck so I think I can get in.
Having limited water causes one to think differently about water consumption. No longer do I wash dishes with the water running. I get one large bowl for soapy water and another for rinse water and set my dishes out on the cutting board to dry after washing and rinsing. Similarly, I was going to take a hot shower this morning but ended up doing a fancy spit bath with hot water and a wash cloth instead and calling that good.
Thankfully the weather is cool and dry (40's at night and 60's during the day) so I'm not feeling that sticky, icky feeling so prevalent in Houston. Many a day, I'd get up, take a shower, put on makeup and dress for work and walk outside and immediately feel like I needed another shower.
