A Newsworthy Event

It has been 3 weeks since I have had something to say.

With the exception of two weekends (March 14 - 16 and March 21 - 23) my life has comprised working for Hudson Energy Services and spending jillions of hours on the AAUW TX Convention -- not interesting blogging material.

The two weekends I mentioned were amazing: we spent them at my sister's lake house on Lake Buchanan along with extended family that brings us great joy.

I have to say that this lull was changed last night when Carl and I went to eat at a local Greek restaurant. We were seated by a 20-something waitress wh0, when seating us, looked at me and said, " You are just darling!"

Now, to a 59-year-old, this is newsworthy. . .

Flu, Blew, Blue, Achoo!

This pretty much describes the past three days for me: I thought I could treat it myself but finally gave in today and call my doctor. He couldn't get me in but he did call in a prescription for a Z-Pack. Carl picked it up for me about 6:00 this after noon; I took the first two capsules; and expect to be back to my normal self by morning. . .

Too Much Like Camping for Me!

I got home from the gym this morning, jumped into the shower, and NO WATER! On my personal scale of things-that-are-too-much-like-real-camping-for-my-taste, this ranks alongside waking up to find that your water pipes have frozen or waking up on a cold morning to find there is no heat because we ran out of propane during the night.

Even though I live in an RV, I DO NOT consider myself a camper: we have a microwave, full shower, indoor toilet, 2 televisions, 2 DVD players, a CD/AM-FM stereo sound system, two air conditioning units, queen-size bed . . .well, I think you get my drift.
