I have the eyes of a 70 yr-old...and I'd like to give them back....
As some of you know, I have been having difficulty with my vision for the past year. I have had two prescription changes in my glasses to no avail. My vision has gone from a -9 to a -11. For those of you who don't know, that's REALLY bad. I can no longer drive at night. The dr. could find nothing wrong after tests for glaucoma, detached retina ( Read more... ) -
Deep in the Heart of Texas!
I am off to Texas to see my dear friend Will, who owns Inn on the Creek in Salado. http://www.increek.com It has been 3 years since my last get-away, and I am more than ready. I know that at the inn nothing is expected or wanted from me, and I can totally relax. I'm going to turn off my phone and just enjoy lounging by the creek. My only snafu ( Read more... ) -
It's the most sinusey time of the year.....
Bill and I like to share. He's quite generous with everything, even his bacterium. After recovering from a nasty abcess in his tooth, the poor guy had to deal with a sinus infection....which he then shared with me. Thanks, Babe. I spent yesterday feeling like I had a non-stop brain freeze, and I didn't even have ice cream to enjoy before hand ( Read more... ) -
If you don't like the weather in East TN/Southwest VA...wait a minute
Having survived two tornado watches and one warning last week, we thought we'd start this week off with...SNOW! Actually we have very little here, but Lebanon Va, which had a tornado early Sat, now has 4 inches of snow to make the clean-up effort a little more interesting. March is always nutty here. The biggest snows we've had in the past 20 years ( Read more... ) -
No trip to Oz ....this time
Well, yesterday was interesting. We were under a tornado watch most of the day. Normally this doesn't bother me, as it's the season for that, and a watch generally means a bad storm. At 9 p.m. the watch turned into a warning for all of East TN and Southwest VA. I am right in the center of that area...yikes. I though it was high time to go to ( Read more... ) -

Tornado warnings until 12:45, but it looks from Doplar Radar that the worst of it will pass to the north of us and up through Virginia. Tornadoes are the only form a weather I am afraid of, because there is very little prep time. It is currently raining, but so far no storm. Another system is scheduled to move through in a few hours. Gonna be a ( Read more... ) -
Back to Our "Normal" Headbanger
Feeling much calmer today, esp. after running several errands for Mom yesterday. I have officially "stepped up." ;) Seriously, the Bible study I am doing with the youth has helped me to calm and center myself and focus on God, which is a huge help with the whole "I'd like to kill you with a spoon" attitude.
Poor Bill has been suffering from ( Read more... ) -

Anger is not a pretty thing. Headbanger Anger is an ugly, dangerous thing. I won't bore you with the details, but family drama has me very close to using the word "behoove" while brandishing an axe....as in "It would be behoove you to shut the hell up." The anger is directed toward my darling sister who has recently told my mother that I need to ( Read more... )
