Just got our new "home"

The blog is having some problems. We got our new "home" last weekend. It is a pop-top camper that is now on the back of the truck, which also has a new utility truck bed. Looks pretty sweet and I am already looking at various cabinets, saying oh the dishes will fit here, the kids curriculum here, and the utencils here. Always fun looking at these things and trying to figure out where everything will go. More, I am looking at everything to see where we could put pix of different stuff, like our family and such.

This is really beginning to come together, Yeah!!!

I AM THE ALPHA DAM!!

Well, our dog Kit Kat is not exactly as easy going as I thought. About 10 days ago, she picked up our TV remote with her teeth and damaged it enough that is had to be taped back together. Last Tues. she decided to do the same thing with my cell phone. Of course, this time the cell phone was pretty much toast. Then she did the same thing to my CoolPix camera (which I loved!) and destroyed it. On Sat. night she got through our hard sliding door and peed on my side of the bed. OK...WTF is happening?!?!

After some conversation with other people and some thought of my own, I think that she is attached to John in such a way as she is trying to replace me. She was marking my side of the bed and trying to say that it was hers. She was destroying things that she saw as mine.

To remedy this we have bought her a sweaky toy piggy plush toy and a squeaky toy ball. She is no longer so bored, as she will bring the pig to be thrown and she will fetch it for us and we do this for a while. And I am now giving her treats while I hold them in my mouth. That way she sees that I am the pack leading female and I am feeding her from my mouth as would happen in a normal pack. Those treats don't seem that bad! LOL

I am hoping that this behaviour fixes itself soon, as I can't have this happening in even tighter quarters once we leave. I can say that I was stressed on it on Fri. and Sat. but now a few days later I think it is kind of funny.

Stuff that should keep us healthy.

Looks like we are leaving Sept. 20th or so....went to Henry's and got colloidal silver, which is a natural antibiotic. Got witch hazel for cuts and scrapes. Got GSE (grape seed extract) for disinfecting and making water potable. Looking for some good aloe to put on sunburns, some good sunblock, some good shelf stable probiotics. Need to look into getting our shots that we need.
I have to contact the dr. and see if I can get in for a mammogram now before my naturopath appt. and make sure that I will be getting the shots I need. I also need to get my hearing aid batteries ordered. They go through the insurance. No cost to us.
I am in the middle of deciding what needs to go with us for curriculum. I am looking for a spanish book that teaches verb conjugations and spelling for the kids. I found a curriculum by Brainquest and will take 3rd and 4th with me. I'll decide in Jan. if I need to get 2 new grades or not.
The truck is in the shop for the new utility bed and will be there for up to 2 wks. John is still working, although I am not sure that is for the best or not. Seems like I would rather have him be alive than working with some of those jerks that he is working with (the GF in particular, sigh).
I need to talk to our neighbor who did Central America with her husband for a few months. Hope to do that today after I teach.
I am sending Love to me and support to me. I need it right now.
