Stormy Beginings

Today became a vacation day. Last night there were some of the craziest winds ever, which while they didn't really keep me up all night, they certainly did have me waking up every so often, normally to imagine the worst case scenario and come up with a plan. If the caravan rolled over I was going to grab the ends of the mattress and roll myself into a protective taco. I had not plan for airborne sheep, which seemed possible at the time, but fortunately never actually came up. During a lull in the rain I ran out of my caravan to rescue a book that i remembered I had left outside under an awning. I felt a little foolish running around at 3AM in my underwear, but it was worth it, and hilarious.
Which brings us to why today became a vacation day. After a hard few days of working, and then an eventful night like last night, I was a total blob today. I've eaten, watched a show, read a lot, and let the internet entertain me for hours. I tried to start gathering some potatoes when it looked like the sky would clear, but it started raining almost immediately, so I just gave up. Peter and Julie said it's fine, today was a day off, and I'll just work Sat and Sun a little, totally fair trade. I certainly enjoyed the rest, my body was aching last night. I feel rested and ready for tomorrow though.
I've also figured out why I wasn't having much luck with the internet inside my camper. At first I thought it was the large thick stone building between me and the wireless box, but my computer had fine reception on the other side of the house, so that didn't quite make sense. It was the camper itself, essentially a big metal cage. Sitting just outside I have a great connection, which is of some comfort.
