Small Troubles but We’re Okay

Well, yeah, that’s the first one. I have COVID, and now it looks like Bud does, too. We had escaped so far, we have had many vaccinations and are never around people indoors. But last Wednesday I ended up doing the laundry in a very small and crowded laundromat and Sunday I was sick. Jamie says from the symptoms it sounds like the latest variant. We’ll get that vaccine once we’re back in the States.

Fortunately by Tuesday I was well enough to have the energy to move to our new campsite. See the trailer there in our “Full sun, no shade” site? I chose the “open” site for the satellite TV antenna; now we have Starlink which uses much less sky so the inaccuracy of the description didn’t matter.

Anyway, our troubles weren’t over because when I went to hook up our electrical service I noticed some discoloration on the side of our 30 to 50 amp adapter which always stays plugged into our surge protector.

When I unplugged it I found this. Woah, we can’t use that.

But there was a Canadian Tire in town and they had a replacement so we are now nicely hooked up and warm and dry.

We are still in New Brunswick, now almost to the border of Quebec, at de le Republique Provincial Park. I’m well enough to walk Matey and sit outside (bundled up today, it’s just over 60) and enjoy the view. I hope tomorrow or the next day Bud is well enough to join me touring this place. Today he’s just sleeping.

    So sorry you’ve had to deal with COVID. I’ve been wearing a mask to church for a couple months because Jeanie said they’d had a lot of cases in hospital, also been on the news. Yesterday my Neurologist ordered labs. Got results and my immunoglobulin is under the low norm, so it’s masks for me. I have to get the next vaccine. I have to wait another week or so, because of my infusion.

    take care. Love you💕💕

      Thanks. I am already much better, but Bud is in the thick of it. Get those shots! Maybe you’ll be one of the few that never gets it.

    Well, Jill, if things happen in threes as has been said, once Bud is feeling better, you should be good for some time! I’m glad your symptoms didn’t last too long and hopefully Bud’s won’t either. It’s good you “took turns” getting sick so there has been at least one of you who could get out and walk Matey! : ~ ) See, a little silver lining!
