Mx. Luna Corbden<p>Finally had a good day yesterday. Wasn't a *pleasant* day. In spite of years of effort, I still judge a day as good if it's productive. I got a huge thing done — I changed my sheets.</p><p>In an RV? That's no small feat. It's been on my list since the thaw in..gosh, mid March? Late Feb?</p><p>Under my mattress sweats w condensation. I feared mold, and needed to know that after the difficult task of moving the mattress I'd be able to handle whatever I found. I needed my battery at 50-60%+ to start.</p><p>I had to take apart a stack of crates and other things blocking the mattress. And it has to move bc there is NO SPACE. Can't fit my fingers between the edge, much less a sheet. Thankfully during the harrowing winter move, I'd thought to sew two straps to the mattress, otherwise.. I'd also put special puffy plastic mesh under which was supposed to prevent the mold. (It helped.)</p><p>With every surface of this space covered with stuff where it didn't belong, I slid out the mattress to discover the mold. Not as bad as it could've been, but mold is mold. Opened all the functioning windows, sprayed it down with Lysol, set up a fan, left the vicinity and planned. Extremely tired at this point and still hadn't changed the sheets. But I had 25% battery left to finish, and I could go into deficit if needed.</p><p>Decided I could cut 3 1x2s and run them under the mesh to give more air flow, and had enough energy to put everything back together, hands shaking towards the end (that means battery entering negative range and I'll pay for it later). I should've used 5 boards? But I'm feeling better about it. I also redid the crates for less work next time.</p><p>A big worry off my mind. This project would've been unthinkable last week, when I was freaking out about how long I'd been nonfunctional. Waking with 20% every day for 2+ weeks is not sustainable under these conditions.</p><p>Now I'm listening to the wind try to rip off the fake roof I built to stop the leak over the slide-out.. 🤭</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/RVLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RVLife</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Recovery2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Recovery2025</span></a></p>
