I REFUSE TO BE RUSHED~5th Night Hanukkah; Coalinga-WA

 

ALL WOMAN~ALL FIRE; Coalinga-CA

This has been my mantra my whole Life.

Bob understood it - because I explained it before we married.

Holland is learning it line by line … and deciding to stand next to the heat; instead of feeding it 😉

3 years together, in 20 more days; I think 2026 will be a kinder year with more warmth than scorching flame ❤️

ALL ABOUT THE NEIS~4th Night Hanukkah; Coalinga-CA

Holland has had it with the cold weather - last night he said, "We need some sunshine, Baby - let's go back to Quartzsite: I'll wear a mask when the dust devils are kicked up". So, this morning as soon as he'd had his morning coffee ☕️, he called the Office here and told them we'd be checking out the morning the 30th … then he called the Skyline RV Park in Barstow-CA and secured a space for 3 days 🔒

While Holland was on the phone, I tried one of the new coffee pods - and scratched off my scratch cards, making a small win gain 😉

And I did a couple "fat targeted" exercises, so I can break out the sleeveless tops begging to be pulled from the closet & worn, again 🤞

2 flavors! I never noticed the Twix, before this morning; I broke even - these 2 winning cards recouped the $ forked out.

The cold snap here 🧦👕🧤🧣, in Coalinga-CA, is unusual 😱: and I agree with my husband that our bodies need the solar healing 🌞 effects of warming sunshine. Plus, the electric costs here are ridiculous 🧐: a fourth of our combined income is flying out the door 💸 in this cold weather 🙄

We'll be taking our time getting to Quartzsite, and that's okay with me: I like all the places we'll be traveling through & hunkering down in 👌 And I think we'll be exploring a new area 🚘🗺️, too, along the route.

I popped in and out of FB, checking PM's, visiting Friend's Pages … and listening to songs - this one 🎧🎶🕎🕯️, fit's today's mood:

We enjoyed a quick supper …

I Jazzed the Manwich sauce up with extra's; Anaheim's, shallots & garlic.

I did a couple loads of laundry 🧺; and started work on another preemie-newborn item: I would like to have a few more items to drop off in Hanford (besides the 2 sleeping gowns), before we pull out of here:

The night wound down with a quiet anticipation and heartfelt gratitude for all the blessings that have been showered on us 😘

4th night.
