jdmkleini spent yesterday with Son and his family. It was nice. The kids had cleaned up the house with Mom while he came to pick me up. We watched the movie A Beautiful Mind, very good. Excellent, but on our copy, the sound track was louder than the dialogue and it was very hard to hear. But it was good.
We had lunch at home and then out to dinner, where i proceeded to spill nearly a full glass of a fruit smoothy down Bizzy's front.
Went to the car rental place and put a deposit on the car i'll be driving to Chas. A 2000 Ford Contour. White, non-smoking, 4-door, a/c, no disk player but tape. i'm getting exciteder and exciteder about this. i might even leave on the 31st in the afternoon after i pick up the car. i'm a little concerned about making it there in two days. Woowoo said she and West drove 700 in one day, about 10 hrs. but there were the two of them, even if she didn't help with the drive. My plan is to be up and out early and take a break every couple of hours for 15-20 min. Drink lots of water so there are potty stops at every rest area on the interstate. Borrow some head bangin' music from Son to keep me awake, take a boring book along to read at night to put me to sleep. Sounds like a plan to me.
i think i left my camera in Wisconsin. This may go down as the vacation for losing things. The only good thing about the camera is that i have never liked it.
Got the photos back from the time with Daughter. She does pretty good for a gal who is blind in one eye and can't see out of the other. The only one she took that is even a little bad is some wild flowers. i don't know if there was a breeze or she moved the camera, but it's a bit fuzzy. Gad, i love that child.
We are now the proud owners of two refridgerators and a freezer. 2/3 of these are in the kitchen. It seems i have the option now of not being able to close the kitchen door, or not being able to open the new cupboards Master put up for me last year. The option i want is not yet available. If i have to live with the way it is set up now, i know i'm going to be very unhappy. i don't want to live like a hillbilly and i'm sorry, that's how i feel about it the way things are now. i'm not going to push Master change it, but i am telling Him exactly how i feel. The thread on the list about suppressing feelings is hitting me hard right now. i don't want this to be the thing that breaks the camel's back. It is too stoopid for that. And really not worth the effort, but i am going to have to work very hard at accepting this if He decides not to change it.
Tomorrow night is the first thing of the class reunion. The closer the time comes, the more i don't want to go. But it was my idea and i'm just pretty certain neither Ellen, nor John, nor Connie is going to let me back out gracefully. i don't know why i'm this way, but it is a pretty convincing argument that i am not adopted. Mother is the same way about large groups of people. She seems to have managed to maintain a certain level, while i am finding the older i get, the more difficult it is for me. i sometimes wonder if i will end up one of those people who can't leave their own home because of the people outside.
The Dow closed up last yesterday. Great. That means i've regained about $2.30 of the money i've lost. i'm so please
