Summer 2022

Yes. It's been quite a while since I've written anything. I have been wasting my free time playing games on my phone, tablet & laptop. I have to give myself some credit for helping get the new house clean, unpacked and organized.....even on a scooter, crutches, and now a cane. But I feel like I am a bit lost. Do I really want to sell my house??? And get a little place here in Seattle?? I think so....but I just don't feel up to doing all that it entails.

I definitely don't want to just live with Josh & Heather. I need my own space and right now that is my van. But I need some help getting a few things fixed up....like the 'ceiling' that is falling down in places.

I am camping this weekend on the Olympic Peninsula. Josh's mom and stepdad are here and I really wanted to give them some space and private time so it was a good excuse to go camping. My leg is much better and I can walk on it with just a brace and a cane. Unfortunately my right lower back/sciatic area is giving me lots of pain. So I am mostly hanging out in my van and resting. But yesterday was mostly getting ready, and driving. This morning I spent organizing since it has been so long since I traveled in it. And since I just threw everything in yesterday.

I had a permit to camp at Second Beach outside of La Push. And Jay and I stayed there last night. But I was no all that impressed with the site. Parking was right off the road. No pets allowed on the trail to the beach. No water. My plan was to go to the Hoh Rain Forest today and then check out First Beach which appears to be more dog friendly. But. By the time.i got to Forks, it was already lunch time and I was hungry. I stopped at a restaurant named In Place and had a lovely.smoked salmon sandwich and fries. So it was getting late and before I even got to the turn off for the.rain forest I happened by Bogachiel State Park and pulled in to check it out. There were lots of available sites plus water and restrooms. I decided it was worth $25 a night to stay here. And now we can head out early morning to the rainforest.

And hopefully my back will be feeling better tomorrowWeiterlesen
