A happy little sideline

I’m doing it. Finally doing it.

Here she is. Here we are. Stevie and me. Out and about.

I have gotten hold of a little electric disability scooter. My dear friend Karens. Who was here for a year before she died in Feb, gave it to me. So now when I get all set up and can't drive out without taking the awning down..... I use my little scooter.

I live in Victoria and they've had terrible floods since the day after I left. Now I'm in South Australia. And so far I have missed the floods and the weather has been beautiful. First week? Tick. Tiring. But I'm still coping with most things

What a lovely trailer and a nice campsite all set up for business and relaxation. I love to camp as well. Even when I am not on the road to the next campsite, my mind takes me there and I have to smile.

Well I did it. 3.5 weeks. It was a lot of things. It was hard. Really hard. But lovely. And I'm glad I've done it. Not sure how much of it I can do though. The hardest thing?.... Getting from the end of the bed and crawling into the sleeping position. I have the most amazing bed in the van. Very comfortable. And the end of it adjusts, in that it tilts up. Like a hospital bed. But even with all this. It was sometimes so difficult I was in tears. My pain was so great even with all the painkillers I take regularly.

And I found I was often too tired to truly enjoy the places I went. So I was asking myself why I was there. I'm feeling very sad tonight being home and thinking back on the trip.

I'm not so sure how much I'll be able to use the van.

Thankful have this little angel. Stevie. She is greatest love.
