Saturday was a mostly normal work day here at TVC if you discount the 90 degree temps and high humidity......I'm sorry I can't discount them.....as I write the humidity is at 71%.....quite high for SLT. It was so sultry that many were running their AC's before noon. After finishing my morning rounds I clocked out and headed for Barton Urgent Care to have the dressing for my injured finger changed, for for the doctor to check out the healing progress.....all is well, and there is no sign of infection! I was promoted to a full on finger guard and just a small bandaid and advised I could take a shower without the bandaid, as well as wash my hands......my life just became a little simpler.....I can actually type again.....yay! I was gone about 80 minutes, but was back on duty by a little after 11.
We now have close to 300 sites occupied, but the campground feels much fuller than that to me. I know I fuss about heat and humidity and my desire to avoid them at all costs, but there is really no way one can do that completely. Most of the folks I spoke with on Saturday had escaped from temperatures well into the triple digits and high humidity, and were quite grateful to be sitting in the shade at Lake Tahoe enjoying temperatures at least 20 degrees cooler than where they came from.
We've begun to include an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper showing the checkout time of 11 am in bold capitalized letters, and guess what? I only had to leave a note for one of over 60 departures.....everyone else left pretty much on time.
I was off work by 4:15 and TLE followed about 30 minutes later.....we watched two more quarter final Women's World Cup matches....the first between Australia and Japan which Japan won 1-0 on a very late goal. The second match was between the host country Canada and England.....Canada dominated early, but then over a 3 minute stretch England scored two goals that Canada never recovered fully from.....England took the match 2-1 to advance to the semi final round for their first time.
One more thing to note is that for the first time this summer I was forced to turn on our AC....we ran it until after 8 pm when it finally dipped below 80 degrees. We were in bed by 10:30 with cool breezes wafting through every open window in the coach.
Thanks for stopping by!
