Where I've been?
Wed Aug 27 2008

I've been nowhere.  Why haven't I written? I dunno. What's happening? Not much.

Well, it's hot here. The last triples of the year (I hope!). The dog days of summer. The State Fair is going now. Haven't been in years! Can't remember how long.
Why don't I go? Well, all that walking! All those rides that  I don't take. All that deep fried food...ugh! Deep fried Twinkies? Deep fried candy bars? Why?!

Oh, there are exhibits to visit.

I guess it's inertia.  The same thing that keeps me from writing here. I am so wishful of being in Washington, I can hardly think of anything else. Will wishes get me there?  I don't think so.  Looking for a typing job. Got some good suggestions from a friend where to look.  Age doesn't matter there, I hope. Other places I've looked just sort of fade away when I write down my age. No use lying about it. Some things just can't be hidden.

Need to call my grandson to find out how My Baby is doing. Last time I talked with him she was standing by herself. I'm sure she's taken her first solo steps by now.

Meeting with some DDers this afternoon for late lunch/early dinner at Fresh Choice. Will surely have something to write about after that.

And speaking of DD, what's happened to the notifies? Not one single DD in my mail today.  Anyone else lacking notifies?

OK, that's it. My tummy is reminding me that I haven't eaten yet today. So I'd best do something about it.

Bless

    I have noticed a dearth of notifies, too. You might check in your junk mail folder, just in case, to see if they've been relegated to the wrong place. However, there have been very slim pickins. This time of year is so busy for people with kids or people with gardens and people who work at schools. That's nearly everyone, isn't it?

    I'm really excited about our little get-together, too! Right now I'm just waiting for my pain meds to stop making me dizzy and then I'll be on the road! Can't wait!

    I guess you don't want to know that the high today was only 79°F? Sorry!

    The other way to find few extra backs - to sell off few things/old books that you might never knew why on earth have you got them in the first place...this will also help when moving over - less stuff to pack ;-)maybe you can do some pet care? like, when people go on holidays and got pets to look after? just a suggestion...Good luck in finding what you are looking for anyway.
    I can understand the inertia - have been trying to get back up to speed for a year now, still not there yet :-( But I also believe that when you intensely focus your energy upon anything, that thing grows more real and influential in your life, so let's focus on Progress!

    It was a pleasure meeting you. Marissa said it was like a bunch of old friends getting together, although she admitted to being ready to go. Pretty good for a teenager. I thoroughly enjoyed it all.
