Mr. Virgo was Catholic and always gave up chocolate for Lent. He loved his chocolate so this was a great sacrifice for him. I’m not Catholic and not as willing to make such a huge sacrifice as that. So, I’ve decided I’m giving up snow for Lent. That works for me!

After Monday’s blue-blaster skies, yesterday dawned with cold, gray, blustery snow. Ick. My highlight of the day was when a friend showed up for a visit. Company! I picked up and everything. Took me two minutes. One can live large in a small space. The thing I miss the most living in my camper is no bathtub. I miss my bubble baths. I’m trying to figure out how I could put a bathtub in here. I’d have to take out the vanity in the bathroom but hey…sink? Or soak? I’d take the soak any day of the week. It’s probably just a pipe dream but it gives me something warm to think about! Especially after my foray into bathing without benefit of running water. I have a gym membership so I can shower there. But the snow has me housebound the last couple of days. I couldn’t stand my hair one more day so yesterday morning I took out my soup pot and heated up about a gallon and a half of water. I poured it in a dishpan that I perched on top of the toilet. After adding enough cold water to cool it down, I washed my hair, then sponge bathed. Afterwards, I cleaned the bathroom and washed the floors with the same water. I’m resourceful, to say the least. And, I felt 100% better afterward. I celebrated with pancakes! It’s the little things. lol
