CO: My Vacation

I won’t go through a day-by-day account of the rest of my vacation. I knew my sister was working during the day and that I would be stuck at her house watching TV shows and movies through either Amazon or Netflix (something I can’t do on my mountain.) I had arrived in the afternoon of July 3rd and other than a few minutes outside with her dogs playing in the pool I bought them on July 4th I didn’t go outside until July 7th. I stayed mostly in her living room on her couch (as I usually do when I visit) fighting her three dogs for space – they are cute so it wasn’t so bad. I was able to watch the whole season of “The Man in the High Castle” – which was really good. I have the book and can’t wait to read it. I also watched all of Season 6 of “Game of Thrones.” I watched all of season 1 of “The Flash” and several episodes of “Marco Polo.” I also saw several stand-up comedy shows.

 While I didn’t go out for several days as I was now in the land where cell phones work and people deliver food to your door – something they don’t do on my mountain – I was able to still feel I was in civilization even if I was sitting in the dark. The fact that I could send an e-mail or update my status on Facebook by my cell phone and didn’t have to use my I-Pad or regular computer and then I could have pizza and Chinese food brought right to the front door proved that.

When I wasn’t having food delivered, at a restaurant, at the Irish Festival or watching shows and movies I did do some other things. I went to the dog park with the 3 dogs to tire them out and think I was more tired than they were afterwards. I also went to a real bookstore. I don’t know of any real bookstores in my state and usually order them online, but it was nice to go to a real store for a change. I don’t usually know of the new books since they don’t advertise them like they do TV shows and movies. I guess it’s the little things that impress me now.
