Wednesday.
It's a good return to work. A quiet day yesterday. I had decided to leave
at four to get an early start on racquetball. Just before four, the phone
calls started, and didn't let up until five. No problem. Just lots of
things that needed to be talked about.
Today, I did a review for a new client, so I got to go work at their office
all day. Environmental Learning for Kids. They take inner-city kids out
camping and fishing, and teach them some wilderness ethics.
The ground is warming. I can tell. I can tell from the ceramic faucets in
the bathroom. They're the old style, four lobed faucets. It's easy to
recognize exact positions for water temperature. All winter long, I have
been setting them in one particular configuration. Now, on our return from
a month and a half away, that setting results in a scalding hot shower. The
temperature of the water coming out of the hot water heater hasn't changed.
The cold water mixing with it has to be warmer. The instant ice water from
our cold water faucet is warming.
We like the layout of the motorhome. With one sliding door in the middle,
it's clearly divided between front and back. We can hang around in the
front in the evening without having to close it all up. When we start
settling down for the night, taking showers and such, we can close the
middle door for privacy and to keep the shower heat back there. We slide
the door back open, last thing, and when we wake up in the morning, we have
a nice bright room out there waiting for us.
