A few things over the last couple of days

For the past few days, we have just been doing things around the park and Mesa...

Carl put the vent cover back on the fan over the kitchen. It allows us to use the fan even if there is rain -- the fan has a rain sensor that causes to automatically close if it senses moisture -- the cover allows it to continue working as long as the rain is not blowing directly in.

We had removed it when we were going to Quartzsite because we did not figure that rain would be an issue and we wanted to avoid any shading that might occur from it over the solar panels.

On Thursday, there was an event in the park by "Hams at Heart" -- no, not a Ham Radio group, but a group of folks who live in the park and who put on plays and entertainment in the park -- I guess normally they would have several things scheduled, but this is the first thing we had seen scheduled and been able to attend.

They did "A Trip to Nowhere", written by one of the ladies in the group, based around folks waiting at an airport for flights that weren't leaving, singing and dancing about the places they were hoping to eventually get to... maybe... This group sang about the joys of Zoom meetings.

The long suffering gate agent seemed to only have bad news about flights being delayed. And... she had strange passengers that needed her attention!

"Somewhere over the Rainbow"

"Vive Las Vegas"

"Goin' to Houston"

The cast -- it was fun -- they had altered the lyrics to many of the songs to make them COVID or elder related.

On Friday we went out for a Chinese Buffet for lunch, and stopped by the mall so Carl could get his glasses adjusted. At the mall, we saw this interesting rig...

It had a web address on it: https://www.globalxvehicles.com/ -- that is the manufacturer of the RV body that can be installed on various truck chassis. It looks like there are storage boxes as well as a spare tire on the back.

We wondered about the top-heaviness of one of these. There were solar panels on top (can be seen in the first picture), and a cab air-conditioner on the roof of the cab, but not on the living space.

Dwayne and I had seen one similar to this the first winter we were out RVing (soon after we met Carl and Sue): https://trekincartwrights.blogspot.com/2015/02/thats-interesting-rig.html The couple who owned the rig we saw then had a blog and told about their travels: http://traveljoy.ch/?    Depending on your browser, it may offer you a translate option (my Chrome browser does).

I also had a COVID test this past week -- since my run in the desert a few weeks ago (https://journeyinamazinggrace.blogspot.com/2021/01/thursday.html), my lungs were initially sore from exertion (I generally do NOT run!), and in the past week, I started feeling like it was hard to take a deep breath. I was pretty certain that it was not COVID, but, I wanted to get checked by a doctor, and I could not make an appointment if I was experiencing shortness of breath unless I had a negative COVID test. So, I got tested on Monday -- told that results should be back in 24-48 hours. I kept on checking online but results were not posted. Finally, on Thursday, I called to find out why my results had not been posted, and was able to get my result, "Not Detected" (aka negative). It turns out that my name as I registered for the test did not exactly match my name as I registered on the website (Patricia Williams versus Patricia T Williams), and, even though I used the same email address to login that I had listed on the form, in an abundance of caution, they did not post the results for me online. ARGH!

I did end up seeing a doctor (Physician's Assistant) on Thursday afternoon, and her diagnosis was that my bronchial tubes are just still inflamed from my run, and gave me a steroid treatment to try to reduce the inflammation. I also got a chest x-ray which was clear. So... I'm COVID-free and working on getting my breathing back to normal -- all good news.
