Updates and Lamentations...

February has come and gone and March has almost passed since last I posted. Why? Um...I've been busy? In truth, I HAVE been busy. After the cruise I came back to town and went right back to work. I took a "short term" position subbing at the alternative school in the GED program. Short term was supposed to have ended in February. It has now been extended until at least 4/30. Whether or not the position is still here will not matter to me. MY last day in this position will be 4/30. I wouldn't have accepted the job if I had known that it would last this long. I did not retire to work full time. It interferes with my play time!

Other than working what have I been up to??? Well, we went camping in the RV during Spring Break. Not far...just to Joe Pool Lake, but it was a nice getaway and it made us aware of some things that we need...and need to get done to the RV...before our camping trip in May. Ford Motor Company has issued a recall on the RV. Something to do with a sharp edge on something that might cut a cable that tells you which gear you are in. Ronnie is getting that fixed even as I type this. While on our camping trip in March a couple of problems manifested themselves. We are scheduled to get those fixed in April. Add a tow package, an ice maker (already ordered) and a couple of hammocks (also already ordered) and we are ready to roll. Can you tell I'm a bit eager?

We went to Shreveport with Ryan and Richard one weekend in February. No, I didn't win...but Richard won $1500.00 so we still had fun. I live vicariously through other people's good luck! Lol

I've also been several times with Richard to play Bingo. Again, I did not win, but Richard did. Hmmmm. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Spring has reared it's lovely head and while my allergies are kicking my butt, I am soooo loving sleeping with the windows open at night and the ceiling fans on. LOVE this time of year.

The grandsons came to stay with us last weekend. Trenton and I went outside to wash my car. I washed...he rinsed. Most of you know my penchant for foot problems. Well.....I happened to drop the hose reel (containing two 100ft. waterhoses) on my big toe. I'm thinking that pedi isn't going to last. And that was my first pedi since the car accident last year. I've been afraid to go...afraid they would hurt my ankle. Finally got up the nerve to go and now the toe is swelling underneath the nail and pushing it up. Hurts like crazy! Such is the story of my life.

I think I'm getting spring fever. I am picturing all these projects in my head...repaint living room and do something special in the inset...strip master bath cabinets and re-stain...strip and resurface ceiling in master bath...refurbish the patio...etc...etc...etc. Just have to keep reminding myself...one step at a time! But I will have all this time on my hands once school is out for summer! Oh. Wait. I'm thinking of teaching summer school...
