The last week of Summer Vacation

Wow...it flew by and dragged at the same time.

It was supposed to be the summer of fun but it didn't turn out that way. Sure, Vegas was fun, although it wasn't really a vacation as Jerry had to work 14 hour days there. We barely left Caesars. I did get to see one of my dearest friends, Lloyd. I wish we had more time together.

Our July trip to Northern Michigan was cancelled as my dad had some medical problems. Instead I spent two weeks in Lansing. Most of the time was spent shuttling back and forth between the Mom and Dad's place and the hospital. I did get to see all my siblings though. That was a HUGE bonus. Just wish we had more time together also.

It seems to be the same theme as last year...hospitals, and medical drama. I'm really kind of tired of all that. It's wearing me down. Jerry too...

So as summer wraps up, I'm looking forward to getting back to work. At least that will keep me from sitting around and thinking about the worst possible scenarios. Yes, I've become a worrier. Hate that....

Gonna try to soak up as much Summer Vacation vibe as I can

    I know only too well what you mean about the whole "looking forward to getting back to work." Kind of a "need a vacation from my vacation" thing. Admittedly, I don't have the hospital-shuttling that you do, but there's still that feeling of work being a comfortable routine; after 15 weeks of summer, I'm ready to head back to the hallways.

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
