Had a bad night last night. I guess all that hiking did something to my knee because it hurt all night....got up and stumbled to church and came back and just generally lazed around. Advil and a heating pad seemed to have taken care of most of the pain ( Read more... )

We didn't get to the Scottish Festival....so we decided to take a hike along a locale historic trail instead. It was the scene of the Third Battle Of Winchester (over and over the info signs kept telling us that it was the bloodiest battle in the Valley). There is even a marker for the "Bloodiest spot' in the Shenandoah Valley.....I wonder if there ( Read more... )

I am allergic to something in this house. I don't know if its because its an old house or the cats. My throat is constantly sore while I'm here...when I'm out its gone. I know...it might well be all in my head because I don't want to be here.  Consequently I'm gone from the house...a lot ( Read more... )

With all my medical problems there are two things that I am grateful that I am not subject too...one is I rarely have headaches and the other is I rarely suffer from nausea ( Read more... )

Stayed home today so Kev could have a day out. Cleaned a LOT. Went to Berryville to pick up Kyle...nice ride in the country. Uploaded some pics to face book and that's just about it ( Read more... )

Today I went to make an appointment with an eye doctor for contacts. After a lot of insurance run around (I'm not completely sold on Universal health Care but what we have now could use a good kick in the butt) I  finally got an appointment for next Wednesday ( Read more... )

Finally got some time at home with Dave and did some clean up. He took care of the upstairs hallway and the stairs and Kyle tackled the back porch. Things are starting to look halfway normal again. Perhaps next week I can stay home and write and not run away like I have been doing but the mess was just too much for one person to deal with and ( Read more... )

I tried to stay home and spent most of the morning uploading a video to photobucket and facebook.  Its a video of the last time the staff was all together...we had gone out to eat lunch at CiCis and a bunch of them (mostly the younger guys) went outside and did what was normally the closing campfire song...in front of the store. Got 12 comments and ( Read more... )

I have internet again! Yay. And it was all Comcast's fault! All that plugging and unplugging and turning things on and off and tech calls and it was all THEM! They neglected to type in some code or other ( Read more... )

One of the bad things about Dave's job is that he is Camp Director in addition to being a District Executive...that means he has to do his regular job in addition to camp. He gets swamped and we all take turns helping him out. Today was my turn to do some data entry for merit badge records  from camp.(very important for rank advancement and ( Read more... )
