There's a reason I haven't been posting.
I went to bed many nights ago - the night of the last post actually - and instantly was overcome with cold chills. Like turning on a light switch, it came out of nowhere and persisted half the night. No fever, but getting up the next morning feeling horrid. The next night, hot sweats. One extreme to the other, back to cold chills, then sweating, etc. Headaches, certain body aches, things that would accompany a flu but there was never a fever.
Fever or no fever, the effect was the same: feeling like hell. Today is the first day that I can say I am feeling a little better. When I say a little, that's exactly what I mean. 4 plus days into this. I have painting to do. I have no idea what happened to all the painting supplies this house used to have, but they have apparently and completely disappeared. I very much do not want to go start from scratch buying everything you need to buy to paint drywall. I guess I have no choice.
I would have had to buy some stuff, yes, but everything? No and no. Does it cost that much? Well considering how much I've already spent, saving every last penny available to save is important at least ot me if no one else.
Anyway, I haven't heard back from the RV repair guy. No rush. I have zero energy. Fixing that would simply mean having to install carpeting and testing other systems in the unit. I don't think I'm going to have a big problem renting the thing out once it's ready. At least, not if I'm renting it out at the right price. I think $600 per month - after some thought - is about right. That's the regular lot rent plus a couple hundred towards paying back the unit.
Anyway, that's just out of my thought processes right now. In fact, what I'm really thinking about doing is going to the healthcare express and dealing with this DOT certification I need done and done very soon. My previous employer used to make me wait until the last week leading up to the deadline as well. I would have already gone but for being sick.
Do I feel like going? I don't feel like doing anything, honestly. But, life goes on and so do the bills. If I do that, I might as well go to Lowe's afterwards and buy the minimum amount of stuff I'll need to paint that shed. And after that - probably nothing.
Just flushed $1,200 down the SWEPCO drain. Power company. That one bites. It's the biggest payment of any kind that I have besides a mortgage payment that is equally as high. But as I noted earlier this year, once we get through summer, that bill will come down substantially. Not a little, a lot.
I had a call yesterday. A lady saw my ad and asked me questions - questions that are distinctly answered in the ad. How much, etc etc etc. I answered all of her questions and then some and then she ended the conversation: Well I've found much cheaper parks elsewhere blah blah blah. What did she think I was going to do, start begging her to come to my park? Instantly lower my price? Well, okay then, I'll bring my price down!
No. The electric bills are too high, I'm not eating it. They can go find their dump. Whatever place it is, it isn't a decent place for I check the at least semi-decent parks on a regular basis for their pricing and mine is either right in line with theirs or lower. People may not care what kind of park they live in, fine. But it was pretty obvious they were hinting at me offering a lower price.
It didn't even phase me. I instantly went to "well thanks for calling!". Nonsense. She knew what I am charging. You get a lot of newbies into RV'ing and they have no clue what they are talking about. They think they know because they did 10 seconds of Google searching, found some clip notes and decided they are experts. I didn't treat her with disdain on the phone, but after all of that? She could have just ended the call when she "found out" the price which I am 99% sure she already knew.
There's nothing else for now. I am going to push my butt out of the chair and go get this DOT physical over with.
