Heading South Soon?! Bella Had Other Plans

I was supposed to check out of the campground and head south for winter a couple days ago. But last week, I extended my stay thru October 16, convinced I needed more time to get everything done. The funny thing is, everything was already 99% done 🤷‍♀️ Several attempts to book campgrounds for October 16 and beyond were made, but it didn't feel like the right time to do it. Summoning my strong procrastination skills, I easily side-stepped the issue 🙄 This past Friday… While out running errands, Bella's check-engine light came on. I was near the auto shop so I swung by to have them run the codes. She needs work but the parts are a few business days away. Looks like checking out of the campground on the 16th is turning into a strong maybe. I’d felt Bella needed some work for a week or so. But walking into an auto shop saying “I can feel something is wrong” would just get me the side-eye and a boot out the door! Meanwhile… The southern states are baking in a freakish mid-October heat wave.…
