The sun is setting yet the air is still so thick you could cut it with a knife. You stretch out and fall asleep only to wake up in a couple of hours covered in sweat. It’s so hot that broken sleep is all you get. The city streets are for the most part quiet after 3 am so a few hours is better than nothing. Outside there’s a breeze but, not inside the camper. I leave doors & windows open in hopes a breeze will pay me a visit.
I pull in to a park and plug in. Relief is almost instant the moment the A/C goes on. The slides come out and it’s a whole new space. A living room & space at the foot of the bed. How different it looks now. Almost a home. Affordable housing for me until 4 walls comes my way. Time to heat up the water I’ve collected in jugs to wash the dishes that have sat in the sink for a week. I try to use plastic inbetween parks. Plastic is getting expensive.
It’s almost time to go and I don’t want to leave. To comfortable, so relaxed. It’s like having to check out of a hotel only easier to move. Check out at 2PM with no spaces available for this weekend, a holiday weekend. I’ll make it. It may be uncomfortable but, I’ll make it until the next time I get to plug in for a couple of days. Corrected the internet issue so, this next time in a park will be a working one. Made the decision to return next week. This heat is unbearable. Anything a shower did is removed within 24 hours of non stop sweat.
Entering the last phase before the ability to be in a park longer than 2 days is coming. I’m afraid something will pull the rug out from under us again. Transportation situation is getting fixed. The fridge that doesn’t work is being removed on Monday, a dorm style will replace it.
