Life goes on

Yesterday was a decent day although my belly is acting up. Cramping and diarrhea seem to be my routine at the moment. And my fissure has reopened. So starting fresh there another 6 weeks of healing. So today I will be blogging and writing so I am able to get up and down if the 'urge' hits. I was up off and on most of last night. I never felt less like blogging.




My Journey continued:

Dinner on my birthday night was all the comfort food. I had a french slam with hot chocolate. No coffee for me because I wanted to sleep. It was good food but not outstanding.
When we got back to the room I called my daughter because we had been having an argument. I will not go into details, just that when I thought the conversation was going well she hung up the phone. What did I say? When I called back her husband answered and lets just say he made me pissed off so I hung up on him.
I was so tired and cranky and that is never a great time to try to resolve problems. I knew I needed to call her but I guess I should have limited my conversation to the bare minimum. Then again hindsight is always 20/20.
I woke up the next morning only feeling slightly refreshed. I had coffee and oatmeal in the room for breakfast. At 9:30a I called the roadside people to see what was happening. "I am sorry ma'am we have been unable to get a hold of a repair service yet. I shall cal you back in the next 10 min with details."
So I call customer service as recommended last night by the roadside people just to insure that reimbursement will be forth coming. "Ma'am, it will be 5 to ten days before you get reimbursed. Although it will be for $91.45. The price of the hotel as well as $40 for food." Wait 10 days? The girl last night said 3-5 days. "I am sorry you were misinformed last night. However I will attempt to insure it is expedited." It is out of my control for sure.

Trip to Spain: The journey there

Yesterday I left California for my first trip out of the continental United States. My stomach was all knotted up and I could hardly sleep the night before. However, I was okay with that, as I believed I would be able to get some sleep on the plane. Getting to SFO was not a problem. Rich drove me. We left at about 1pm so I knew I would be there at least 2 hours before the flight. We had weighed my bags before leaving so I was pretty sure there would be no problem there. On the way to SFO I realize that Rich had placed all my bags, including my carry-on in the back. The only reason this was bad was I wanted to double check a few details before I got to the airport. Oh well, it could wait. Then I really looked at him and could not believe what my eyes told me. Did I not just tell him the other day that I would appreciate him looking at least presentable when we go out? Not in stained or ripped clothing please. Matching clothes would be nice. He was actually wearing a yellow and gr...

Moving forward

Monday was amazing. After I finished my blog, as advertized I went and swam in the pool. How awesome that it was snowing these big huge fat flakes right outside the huge windows of the pool house. I spent about 30 to 45 min working out in the water. Did some crunches. Gazed at the falling snow from the warm water of the pool. Afterwards I went up to my room and soaked in a tub full of hot bubbly (shampoo as I had no bubble bath) water. And read until I fell asleep. Just marvelous! I did not get much sleep as I kept worrying about the fact that I had not heard from the girl I was training with. I finally got up at 5 and started getting ready for the day. At 6 I finally got the call from Kellie. Yes I could not remember her name and had actually just picked up the phone to call Kris my supervisor when my phone rang. Now Kellie will be picking me up at 6:45. Good thing I was up and dressed. I put some make up on and went down for my free breakfast. I had already decided knowing what th...

Why does life move so quickly?

Wow I truly can not believe it has taken me a week to get back to this. Then again when I look back at this past week I can. The first stumbling block was not having a laptop or computer at my beck and call. You see while I am here in Ohio I literally have to go down to the lobby to use a computer I can blog at. Then there are all the distractions of many people coming and going. Some see you at the computer and ask what you are doing. Hello, what if I am typing something business related that is highly sensitive? Oh well my bad I am in a public spot. But acn I have my space anyway? So what has happened since I last blogged? Not a heck of a lot. I guess. My farm in Missouri is now officially being sold. We will be closing on or around Feb 25. This has me tearing up as I really wanted that place. I could so see myself breaking ground and growing my own food. Having some real live chickens. Laying naked (ok topless) out by the pond. Having a horse or two out there. I hope this really d...
