Hey, Judy! I'm back! Anybody miss me?
"So, where you off to RO?
And are you feeling better? Be careful driving. The way people drive these days...they must have lowered the test to allow anyone who doesn't try to drive on the sidewalk and mow the pedi's down a DL."
I don't recall what the "feeling better" refers to. I went to CA just for the heck of it (but I didn't see CaliGrrrl anywhere). I saw Disneyland and Six Flags, plus a little in-between. The reason is, one day I plan to live out there (though I hope they change their politics considerably by then) but by that time I felt I'd be too old to enjoy some of this stuff, so I figured I'd go out there, just for the fun of it. So I flew, and I got a ticket from United on-line for $539 -- not bad from Knoxville to LA and back, with only one stopover in Chicago. It was exciting, but at one point I did rent a car and some hateful cop pulled me over for going, like, ten miles over the speed limit on Interstate 5. I was trying to get back to return the rental car in time to get the shuttle to the airport and not miss my flight. Thankfully, I get there on time. I left the Disney area at Anaheim on Thursday afternoon, and traffic was so bad on the interstate that I came to a complete stop three times. But when I returned (and got the ticket) it was Saturday morning, so I had no problem. The cop wasn't hateful himself, just getting a damn ticket was. He claimed I passed him and said, "Didn't you see me?" I wanted very badly to say, "Well, not all of us are on the lookout for ticket-happy cops" but of course didn't. I did say that I was sorry to come to this state out of frustration. The previous day I left Six Flags and lost my car! I found it eventually, but Augh! But hey, it was fun overall. My only regret was that I was by myself. But the older I get, the more set in my ways I get. I sometimes wonder about looking for Miss Right, but then I am so set in my ways, I don't know if I can cope. And this illness still kicks my rear here 'n there, but I seem to be coping okay. I'm not really interested in sex much anymore (I know you've been waiting to hear about that), so I don't see a big reason to go looking. It would be someone to travel with, yes. I've always wanted children, but since schizophrenia is an inherited illness, it's probably good I've never had any. I can still give my love to my kitties, and my little Sugar is now pregnant. I can't wait; she is such a sweet little thing.
Hey, I'll turn 40 in five days!
I just went to Atlanta again, to do Stone Mtn., which I missed last year, because now I get a discount with my "Dollywood" season pass. I went to PittyPat's Porch again (I just can't get enough of that Southern cooking). And hey!, you weren't there again!
