WOW !!! That is absolutely fabulous!! Small trips to figure out what you need on hand - easy reach while driving.
LOL -- I always had a cooler with soda (though more recently just water) and at least a bag of pretzels. I did A LOT of driving - van and motorhome when I was going to herding trials, nosework trials and dog shows. In some cases coast to coast (though that was always with a motorhome everything packed including the kitchen sink :lol: ).

Halfway packed and low pressure system brought rain and seems to have triggered both my RA & Fibro. Usually the latter doesn’t raise its ugly head and cause me much trouble. It came on like a dragon this time 😬
Plus I’m having breathing problems that are a little scary. So will be leaving a couple days later than I originally hoped.
He’s going to town for a battery. Asked him to look for Mullien Tea but I doubt there’s any in Burns. Hoping it will help me breathe better. Ordered some online too so if he can’t find it, I’ll stay here at least until it’s delivered.

I wound up running into Burns for an appointment with a gp. I’ve has a variety of weird symptoms the past few months that I ignored and chalked up to being a result of my crummy condition, the meds, and all my autoimmune issues. But I postponed leaving on our road trip because weather changes truggered monstrous flares of everything including these symptoms and I finally decided I need to know what’s up. (Suddenly feeling as if I can’t get any air, cold sweats, inability to regulate body temperature, instant fatigue, etc. etc. ) She ordered labs and chest xrays All come back normal except low in B complex. I guess I will need more tests as the feeling of not being able to breathe is so distressing I’m desperate for help. I did make tea with some of the mullien leaves @Mini Horses sent. But my O2 is good at 97% and lungs are clear. Hoping to leave Fri for California. Praying this won’t be another problem

I am low in B complex so hope it will help. Would that cause the dyspnea? I am going to leave tomorrow for our first leg of the trip. Dr never called back in spite of me calling the office so we won’t wait around. I will keep us down to 7 hr drives, one is 8. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!! Spend a few days at each place. Found a human/dog bed so Boone and I have a place to sleep as no one has extra room and I can’t afford hotels. They might need a forklift to get me off the floor but I would do anything to see them again!
I’m expecting to hurt often, get a bit stronger and have a much better attitude when I get back :flypig
I hope Boone finds himself enjoying it as much as I will!
