bags at grocery stores!

kind of just realized this today: had been hearing from parks lately that their offices close before sundown, and I thought it was because they were afraid of vampires or superstitious (we’re going further south now, in VA currently). Then the park we’re currently at spelled it out: they are trying to avoid RVs trying to park at their site in the dark because of how large they are to maneuver, to avoid accidents. And it all finally clicked lol

these past few days, walking around, feet have felt dry and pretty comfortable. I was thinking about this and the term “cheating death” came to mind. I guess because it’s been so long- about eight months straight-that I felt so uncomfortable walking around, that now that it’s getting better, there’s this feeling of cheating death because my life had been so uncomfortable all the time up to this point, that now that a bunch of pain is lifted, it feels like I’m escaping some heavy oppression. I still must soothe at night, and still must wear a pad in each sock to catch any weeping during the day, but still, it feels (and looks) much better than before.

Being out of Jersey bonus: not loading and unloading every single item by hand as much when we forget our bags. bags at grocery stores!
