Not busy, just lazy

I just realized I've been MIA this week. Truth be told, it's simple laziness and the fact we're in an area we've explored in the past so we're just veggin' this time around. Of course, at these 55+ campgrounds you can stay busy all day and never leave the grounds. A sample activity sheet for the day looks like this:

• 8 AM Walk away the pounds
• 8:30 AM Muffins and Starbucks Frappaccino, just in case you worked off any calories at the Walk away the pounds session
• 9 AM Silver stretchers-another exercise program that's more intense than it sounds
• 9 AM Computer class/Casino Tag-along/Brake Maintenance and Safety seminar, etc.
• 10 AM Craft-beading/wire angels/whatever
• 10 AM Line dancing/wood carving/pool tournament
  
• 10:30 AM Water aerobics, weather permitting
• 1:00 PM Craft class/cribbage tournament/pool instruction for the ladies
• 1:30 PM Line dancing instruction
• 2:00 PM Estate planning/healthy living seminar/RV safety, etc.
• 5:00 PM Meal offered by campground
• 7:00 PM Bingo (obligatory at least once a week), live entertainment/RV tour seminar/Texas Hold 'em Poker.

This is a moderately busy schedule. We've been in campgrounds where there may be only 4-5 classes/gatherings scheduled per day and we've seen schedules that run from 7 AM to 7 PM with multiple classes going on simultaneously. Me? I hit the Walk away the pounds group and try hard to keep up with the 70+ year old cotton tops that have been doing the 3 mile routine for weeks--they're a fit bunch! My knee is telling me that I have been sadly remiss with my therapy and now I'm paying for it. We'll check out a couple of the seminars, maybe tag along to a casino but we've been puttering around the rig with miscellaneous chores, a switchover to Direct TV and an immediate switch back to DISH TV (involving an extra cable stretching across our cabinets--not acceptable), leisurely walks around the campground and working out where we want to travel this summer.

It's still much cooler here than normal so we've only been able to enjoy one afternoon of sitting in the sun so far. We've actually had rain here in the desert the last couple of days and it's been gentle enough that the rain had a chance to sink in instead of simply washing away. That's unusual here.

That's my tale of laziness. Now it's time to prepare to sweat and pant and watch those tough old broads ask the activities director for a second session of Walk away the pounds after we finish the first one. Gasp. I'm a wimp.
