Pink Flamingo on Toast

Today is the start of my Spring Break Jerry and I are taking a little trip to the beach for a few days. This will be our first vacation since June of last year. I can't tell you how excited I am to get out of town. Sure, we're only going to St. Augustine, but for a few days I can pretend to be a tourist. I found us a place right on the beach so we can stare at the ocean for hours. The weather this weekend is supposed to be icky but by Sunday, when we leave, it's expected to be sunny and warm. I just hope I can get my kite up at least one time while we're at the beach. I don't know what it is about flying a kite that makes me so happy, but it does

This is the time of year where I tend to take stock of my life. Check to see if I need a kick in the pants, or if I can float along the lazy river, or maybe a little bit of both. Life if pretty good and 42 doesn't scare me. It's the answer to the ultimate question of Life, the Universe, and Everything...right? How will I spend this event? Working...and it's going to be a stressful day tomorrow. More FCAT testing. Science. After work, Jerry and I will head up to the home to visit his mom and then come home and collapse. It's okay though, because most of my life is fun and carefree. I'm feeling pretty lucky

March 4th I've been bed ridden the past few days. I went to work on Monday but I probably should have stayed home. It started on Friday night. I went to the doctor hoping to get something but alas it's a cold and I just have to wait it out. I don't like colds. This one is unusually bothersome. Constant sinus headache, burning nose and a hacking cough. Yay me... Enough about that...I don't think I've talked about Dad lately. He's doing great, according to Mom. His last appointment went well and was told to come back in 3 months. I'm thankful he bounced back so well. It amazes me actually, compared to what we've been dealing with here in Florida with Jerry's Mom. Mom-in-law is healing, and they have a shrink wrap sock on her leg to help the swelling and make it easier to fit the prosthetic. Hopefully the will start soon. I think I've said that before...*sigh* Jerry said that when he talked to her today she was a little ...umm...gr...
