as the week ends....

I am (mostly) blessed with good health as this week ends... high pressure front moved in Tuesday night causing terrible (ie:puking) headache but only killed about 3/4 of my day off. At work today I got my ass kicked... looks like everyone did, too, so I don't feel as bad about it as I could. Met some new friends (and a couple of old ones) at a Circle last night for Winter Solstice... wish could get regular group going. Singing in choir at St Pat's Midnight Mass (will make for REALLY long day, since I have to be up at 3am to work 4am-5pm). I wonder how well dead people sing because I will have been up way too long by the time the bells ring out midnight. Someone asked if I was cooking for Christmas... ha! I have no meal even planned. I work xmas eve and will be wiped... only REAL plan for tuesday is to sleep in. Since I am low man on totem pole (ie: no PTO built up) I am working 4 days (instead of standard 3) both the week of xmas and new years. sigh. And having to get up at 3:30am makes for an early bed time... work, come home, eat, go to bed, wake up & repeat next day. But my paycheck should be nice.... There was frost on my windshield this morning...WTF? Will need to plan for that in future since my 15 minute turn around time in mornings (alarm to walking out door) does not allow time to defrost. Scraped it with maxed out credit card... at least I got some use out of it :-)

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
