It’s a bittersweet day today as we dropped of Lucy with ATR Collision Repair and our month of living at Woodsprings Suites has started. The space we moved into is not that bad as we are very good in downsizing of course. We have a small kitchen that has a two burner stove, a decent size refrigerator and a microwave and sink. There is a sofa, a desk, TV, storage/closet area and a king size bed. It will do for a month but admittedly we miss Lucy very much already. What has me worried now, even thought worrying won’t make a difference, is that the guy in charge at ATR Collision told us upon dropping off Lucy that he will go on vacation come Wednesday and be gone for a week and a half and that it might take more then a month to fix Lucy now.
Oh how proud I am in how much I improved my reactions over the years as I do study my stoicism daily and so I kept my mouth shut. In days past I would have been tempted to voice my displeasure but yes, it wouldn’t change a thing. All I can say is that in all the years we lived in Colorado, starting in 2007, I have been disappointed over and over at the horrid work ethic that prevails here. The lies and the lax attitude, the entitlement and disregard of others time makes me livid and I always wondered why this was? Colorado is a most beautiful state when it comes to nature and the Rockies. But it is in my eyes a state that looks like a yummy shiny apple on the outside but has a rotten core. Now I am not talking about all areas in Colorado as i have no insight there but the area we were familiar with this has been the case with everything.
Okay, of my soap box as I said my piece but I so look forward to leaving Colorado behind and not looking back.
We will make the best of our stay at the Woodsprings Suites up in north Colorado Springs. We are neighbors to the Bal Seal Engineering Company who build a beautiful 0.5 mile exercise trail for their employees but which the pups and I love to walk on every day. There are lots of yummy restaurants all around us as well as other hotels. There is an exercise room here as well as a nice laundry room. What more do I need?
I am hoping to use this time here to work on my book some more. Right now I am writing but I need to get all the thoughts and input organized.
Oh and of course we want to work on our itinerary for our launch. The goal is Georgia of course to see Sam, but I already have some spots I want us to hit. There is Eureka Springs, AR, which is supposed to have a magical hot springs with magnetic forces, plus a German Restaurant. Then I want a few nights at the Tom Sawyer RV Park as it is smack on the Mississippi River and all spots face the River. So yes, lot of planning to do…..
