Hello FU friends and country-persons! Lend me your eyes. Or ears? Ah heck, I will take any body part pretty much. Hmm - already distracted! DOH!
Anyhoo... After almost 9 days and 2,500 miles, I have landed safely back in good ole Mayberry. Er, um, I mean Mount Juliet! Slight slip LMAO! My own bed never felt quite so good. At least since last time I went out of town.
I spent a lot of time in Texas & Oklahoma, got to see some new friends and old friends (I mean long-time friends, not old people of course!), family, and a lot of highway. I enjoy traveling off the interstates a lot, get to see places you never knew existed. Hear weird stuff on the radio, and catch up on the tunage in my music collection. Oh yeah, unplug for a while too. Need to keep in touch with the real world.
My son is still struggling with his legal issues and the soon-to-be EX. Poor guy, never thought he would end up like me - divorced! Tried to tell him to always be prepared, but he is a lot smarter than me. Just ask him! ;-}
My sister in OK starts her chemotherapy and radiation treatments next week. She went from no growth to a egg-sized tumor in stage 4 with spreading in about 10 months. Aggressive little devil. As she said, she is one of the estrogen generation, perhaps medical discoveries do have their payback at times. She has a great attitude, a husband that takes care of her, and more family around to help besides me. Sometimes it sucks to be 650 miles away. I just feel it inside that she will have a tough battle, but she has the spirit to prevail.
If anyone feels like it, feel free to pray for her, and please also pray for my son to have an attack of common sense too! All help is appreciated.
As for me, I need to do an army-size pile of laundry, go rent a bush hog and hay baler to do my yard (the yard guy forgot to come I guess), and back to work on Monday. All good things must come to an end, and work is a necessary evil. Especially since I still haven't won the lottery!
Thanks to all who left love for me, missed you all, and see you around the bar!
XOXOX
