I Am Going On A Trip

Ollie relaxing at home! He is such a lucky dog! I will be taking his place Sunday as I am going on a trip.


Hello everyone, 

 As always I really hope that everyone is doing fine. I am doing great. My son Matthew is here and he and I decided that I am going to go with him for a few days on the truck. We will leave Sunday for Laredo where he will pick up a load for somewhere in Florida. I called today to find out any upcoming doctor appointments. I had all of my appointment cards in my phone case. The front inside cover has slots for credit cards and such but I never use it for that as that kind of thing could be stolen or worse, my identity stolen and so my credit cards and ID is in a separate location away from prying eyes.

 My phone case opens like a book with a magnetic flap so the inside flap is perfect for when I have to go in to see my doctors, they just write my appointments down on these little business cards.

 Today I wanted to confirm my appointments and I was amazed to find that I have only two in February. A Telemedicine on Monday the first and the second one is for my yearly check in with my pain specialist on February 12th so I was like? Is this right? I seem to always be going in to the doctor but I called to make sure that there was no mistake and sure enough I was lucky enough to only have those two. 

 I sent Courtney a text today and told her that I was getting some use early for the luggage set that she got me for Christmas. 

 My granddaughter told her daddy tonight... "When is it my turn to go on the big truck like Nanna?" Hmmm her daddy hem and hawed but her mama rescued him and said that she had to be older and she said "Old like Nanna?"

 Yep she even knows I am old. I have felt it this past week too. One of my doctors called me back today about a cholesterol medication that my endocrinologist recommended and I told her about the pain I am having in my left hand. I just took my glove off. Tomorrow I will put my brace back on. She thinks that it is arthritis and I agree with her. I am just glad that it is in my one hand, I feel so very sorry for those who live with this horrible pain.    

 So Karyn and Foxy are supposed to come and spend the night with me tomorrow night. I miss my little girl and my big girl too. 

 Karyn is making plans as well as I am. We  both have not had very much time to talk and hang out together and even a phone call has been hard to manage with all that she is dealing with and her job. I know that Jonathan is off work tomorrow and so is Nathan and I am not sure if Karyn's office is closed or not. If nothing happens I will have 4 of my kids at home with me even if it is just for the day. 

 I miss Laurie and her family. They are thinking of moving back to Texas. I wish they would move closer to Reno but it is where they want to be that is important but going back to where we use to live is not a good move. The schools are terrible. More terrible now than when my kids were in the schools. They had the means to be a great school but they were way behind in offering the kind of classes that the larger cities like Dallas offered. I never knew why they didn't have a more varied curriculum. I just think that they didn't want to pay the salary for teachers that the larger schools paid. I'm sure that is debatable with whom you ask, but my nephew pulled his 4 kids out of there and enrolled them in a town over. Oh well it is not up to me anymore but I really wish that I had done the same when my kids were younger.

 I hate to cut this short but I am ready for bed. Past time actually. It is after midnight and I have a lot I need to do tomorrow. 

 As always I wish the best for each of you and I am sending virtual hugs and to ask you to all be safe, practice social distancing and wear your masks... BB

 Oh before I forget what do you think of the vaccine? Do you believe it to be safe? Does anyone plan on getting the vaccine or not? and why? I am still undecided and trying to find out all that I can about it before I make a decision. Good night to all.... BB

  1. I would get the vaccine today if it were offered to me. Unfortunately I'm way down the priority list.

    Glad to hear you're hitting the road for an adventure! Hope you have fun.

  2. I didn't realize this was a new post because the photo is the same as the last post. Sorry, I'd have commented much sooner. I think it's wonderful that you have the opportunity to ride with Matthew. Will Ollie go too? Wouldn't that be nice. How is he? He's such a wonderful doggie, I hope he's having a good life. Your big move is coming up soon. I'm hoping it will be a great move for you. I'll give you a call later. You have a super day, hugs, Edna B.
