Monday Morning Musings....

Bill’s most recent ride was uneventful so I was thinking about all the things we do in an RV that would be weird if you did them back at home. Here’s the list I came up with:

            Put the kitchen wastebasket in the shower before you go anywhere.

            Walk around the outside of the house each time you leave.

            Keep your toothbrushes in a drawer in the kitchen.

            You say things like, “Quit walking around, I’m trying to write!”

            Pour dishwater down the toilet.

            Store the welcome mat in the back of the truck.

            Empty the septic tank every morning.

            Find food in the pantry with a flashlight.

            Keep bottles of juice in the bottom of the clothes closet.

            Duck your head and put one foot on the wall to get into bed.

            Use toilet treatment packets in the bathroom every other day.

            Roll up your plumbing every morning and store it in a bin under the house.

When you reach your destination, pick up all the potholders that have fallen on the floor.

           

            Vacuum the whole house on your hands and knees with a shop vac.

            Make sure the frig and freezer doors are locked before you leave.

            Making the bed qualifies as an extreme sport.

            Hang old towels over all the windows in the bedroom at night.

            Secure all lighting, pictures, and decorations with Command Strips.

When you come home, open the freezer very carefully so you don’t get hit in the end with the ice tray.

Open the frig door just wide enough for your arm and pull out things that have fallen off the shelves.

Duck your head at the kitchen sink so you don’t hit the upper cabinets.

Wash all your clothes in a public place and fold your underwear in front of strangers.

Buy $20 in quarters every laundry day.

When you have guests, fold down the dining table, put cushions on it, and tell them goodnight.

Check to make sure the house is connected to the truck when you leave.

You put down stabilizing jacks under your house on the weekend.

Shut off all the electric to the house whenever you drive somewhere.

Push out the living room wall so you can open and close the bathroom door.

Do not run the air conditioner, microwave and toaster at the same time or none of them will work.

And when you put that kitchen wastebasket in the shower…don’t forget to lock the shower door!:) Thanks for reading!
