00:00Good morning, it's me Barb. This is take number four this morning, so we'll see if this works.
00:10What I'm going to do is I'm going to try and attempt to give you a tour of my camper. Everybody's
00:14been asking about it, I don't know what the big interest is, but here we go. Starting
00:20out, well I guess that doesn't work, I don't know what I'm doing again this morning. This
00:25is my bedroom, messy as it is, and this is how I sleep. And if you say you don't snore,
00:36I say you lie. I swear, I think everybody when they get old snores. Anyway, continuing
00:44on, the next part, this is the bathroom. There's the mirror mirror. You know how many times
00:51I have gotten scared by that mirror? You get up in the middle of the night and walk
00:55into a room with a mirror staring at you and I guarantee it's going to wake you up. Here's
00:58a shower, and oh yes, if I get much bigger I will not fit in it. And this is my stove
01:10right here. There you go, all of its glory. And the microwave which I could not live without.
01:17And I could not live without this beast of a refrigerator, which I may have to learn
01:22to live without in the van. I also have a double sink, which is perfect for hiding dishes.
01:31And I have a couch, which I have never used. I don't use a couch. I use my chair and tables,
01:41my bench over here, and that works just fine for me. And of course, we have our front of
01:48our camper here. It's just like every other camper, they're kind of boring. This one has
01:55none of the modern amenities, which is fine because I wouldn't know how to use them anyway.
02:02And you know, after trying to learn and figure out all this TikTok, Instagram, and all this
02:09I gotta tell you I'm not in any mood for learning any more technology this week. But anyway,
02:15this is my attic. It's supposed to be a bed, but right now it's just a catch-all for everything
02:22I don't know where else to go with, that I'm going to be getting rid of in a huge dumping
02:27session. Anyway, that's about all for today. I hope you've enjoyed this, and I know it's
02:36pretty pathetic, but too bad.
