Taking it Easy

We're sitting outside enjoying the weather and watching the weekenders arrive in this lovely park. Paul's preparing to open a bottle of fine champagne we've been meaning to consume for a couple of days now. We'll take one more opportunity to toast our brand-new lifestyle. 

We wandered around Bend for a bit today. But, basically, we did nothing...again. No matter how you slice it, we are being pretty darn lazy these days. We're resisting the temptation to run around and see everything. Instead we're giving our bodies time to rest and our minds time to adjust. 

Today we realized that we've been running at a million miles per hour for the last three months. Well, except for the last four days.  As soon as we hit the road, ironically, all that stopped. Only now can we see the cumulative effects of all that stress. We're both tending to sore and stiff parts of ourselves. We are discovering what happens when your weary brain tells you to pack something for the RV and your body packs it for storage, and vice versa. We're trying to find all kinds of things and still, believe it or not, finding things we can live without. 

And, did I tell you we're tired? 

We aren't complaining!  Really, we're not. It's just something to finally be able to stop. It may take our formerly busy bodies time to catch up. That's all. 

For now, we'll just take it easy.
