Gatlinburg TN
Kelly has been singing the blues that she hasn’t had a day to herself in the trailer in way too long. She’s right. On weekends, she’s been too busy driving the shuttle vehicles to enjoy any time to herself. During the week, she tends to be the one who runs the errands, either by herself or with the campground manager.
I knew better than to leave her alone. When she’s away from the trailer all day, it only seems like I have the day to myself. I generally end up doing at least one load of laundry, making a quick check of the shower houses, running garbage to the dumpster, cooking, feeding kittens, etc. Since she’s gone, she really doesn’t see all the things I do during the day. If I had left her in the trailer, either important things would not have been accomplished or she would have felt cheated out of “her” day.
So, I gave her a day where she didn’t have to do any “work” in the trailer. I made her French toast with turkey sausage and Clementines for breakfast. I did all the laundry. I made her a nice lunch and served it to her next to her computer table. I did the kitten feedings on my own. (She wanted to play with the kittens at one point, but that was by choice.) So, except for solitude, she got what she needed.
Things broke down a bit at dinner time. Kelly likes to play with fire. She loves to build a campfire in the early evening. So, when she said she wanted to grill dinner, I thought it meant she wanted to do that herself, as part of her day. No, what she wanted was for me to grill dinner. Oops. Nevertheless, she seems to have had a really good day.
