October

October already. Still in the 90s and no rain since we got here to speak of. Lake Conroe is down about 18" and ground is cracking in some areas. Above normal for rain, but all came earlier.
Got my flu shot today and got Kay to see the Dr. that I saw last week. I'm impressed with him and Kay likes him also. Took ex-rays of her hips today to try to find the reason for the hip soreness and pain and is scheduling and MRI of lower back and shoulder to see what is the problems there. Gave her new med to get her through until can find the reason for the pain and stiffness. Some nights she gets very little sleep because of the pain.
I have an interview with Wal-Mart tomorrow. Hoping to get on as cashier and build up our purse for our trip next summer. Going to stay in this area, so might as well do something profitable until we head west and north next spring.
Had an interesting experience last evening. We were going for a walk and had to come back to the RV for Kay's glasses because the sun had came out. Stepped inside the RV and the noise was overpowering. The Propane alarm was going off. Stopped the alarm and went up on roof to get the fan vent open to air and went off again while there. Kay stopped it and this time didn't come on again and had a green light. Searching for the manual, while Kay searched online. Found out there are many things that will set off the Propane alarm. One of them was hair spray and Kay remembered that she had used a new hair spay just before we left the RV. Has not gone off since then, so feel confident that was the problem. Poor Sam. Was for sure a blessing that we came back for the glasses or Sam would have been locked in here with that piercing alarm going.
