Here's what you don't want to hear when you don't want to work anyway.
Scenario: We have just stripped a room and are walking by the dumpster. We see a woman sort of sauntering towards us. We keeping talking to each other. We do not make eye contact. (Very important! Never, ever make eye contact!))
"Excuse me...do you girls work here?"
Perhaps the HUGE pile of sheets heaped in my arms should have been the first clue...
"Yes, ma'am". Today I do, but don't put money on that for the long haul.
"Well, I don't need much. Just some towels...and the trash out...and some coffee...and if you could change the sheets and tidy up a little..."
This is the second time in two weeks someone has said 'tidy up' to us. I don't like the word 'tidy' or the word 'up'. Especially when they are used together.
"Sure. We'd be happy to." I am a liar. A big fat bitching liar. I don't want to do a f**king thing in her room. I want her to get in her f**king car and drive the f**k off. That's what I want.
So we go and bring her some towels, take out her trash, give her some coffee and change her sheets. And 'tidy up'. Then we go on about our business and get done and go home. I had things to do. How sad. I had to wash my own sheets! I cleaned my bathroom. I packed a bag and am ready to go in the morning. We plan on being out of here by 8:30. That gives us plenty of time to get there. And I am tired from yesterday.
I am planning to soak off a few layers of skin when we get to Big Spring. I have some Vanilla Lavender Bath Salts. I can hardly wait.
The winds have stopped here in Alpine. But the damage is extensive throughout West Texas. Lots of fires still burning and downed trees and branches. Many car accidents. Close enough to March to come in like a lion.
I am going to grab something to eat and lay down for a while. Hope you have a nice evening.

I used to be invisible
Seriously. I was positive I was invisible when I was a child. Especially when I was riding in a car. When we were parallel to another vehicle and someone was looking at me...I used to wonder...
"What are they looking at? For sure it can't be me...for I am...invisible!"
I would stick out my tongue. Cross my eyes. Mouth the words "booger head" while looking directly at them and wonder..why do they keep looking in my direction? Perhaps...something was behind me. I'd turn around. Nope. Nothing there. Perhaps...they were pretending to see something and were practicing their stare. Fine. Right back atcha. Sometimes they would smirk and sometimes they would stare right back and stick out their tongue. Or cross their eyes. I thought they were clairvoyant! How could someone possibly do the same thing as me...when they couldn't even see me! It was astounding. I was fascinated. I was probably the dumbest child on the planet.
We ate breakfast from the Ramada Inn this morning. We had heard that you could go down there and buy breakfast without being a guest...so I called them. Sure enough, for $5 we got an amazing breakfast...to go. They have a great waffle maker shaped like the State of Texas so we got a waffle. They also had individual fresh made omelets. Mine was mushroom, ham and spinach. Along with bacon, sausage, mini muffins and cranberry juice...it was simply delicious!
It may become a weekend tradition. I'm glad I called them.
Busy day. Winds weren't bad at all. That comes tomorrow.
Collage: Rose colored glasses...
Our world is in a turmoil. It scares me. I don't want to know any more about Egypt, Lybia or North Korea. I want them to just go away. Wouldn't it be great to wake up in the morning and hear that gas is $1.00 a gallon and going down...every American is getting a check for $10, 000 to spend only on candy...the sun would shine everyday forever and all of the crops would flourish...oranges would always be sweet...no one would be sad ever again. What a wonderful world.
More bad news. Midland Breaking News has just issued a critical fire watch for the area. The winds are expected to be in excess of 65 mph and they are urging all citizens to be vigilant of any activities that may include fire, i.e. outdoor cooking and any hot work. It is so incredibly dry out here that any fire could be life threatening. Perhaps this spring will bring torrential rain. And locusts. I need to read a funny book to take my mind off this stuff.
I need to look a few things up. Have a nice evening and I'll see you later...

I love hot dogs
And I don't care what they are made of! I like hot dogs. And anything on a hot dog, except chili. I know! I live in Texas and I don't like chili dogs. I like sauerkraut; jalapenos; cheese (lots of gooey cheese); mustard (traditional yellow and spicy brown); grilled onions; ketchup (good ketchup); sweet pickle relish (I'll eat dill relish if under pressure); let's see what else is there...
I bring this up because we didn't know what to eat for lunch today and decided to go to Sonic and get the grilled chicken salad. Well...when we got there and looked at the menu...we saw that they have some 'new' hot dogs! I chose the 'New York Style dog'. It had the sauerkraut, grilled onions and spicy brown mustard. It was pretty good. I could have eaten two. Maybe three. But I only got one in case it was nasty. It wasn't. It could have used more of everything, but it was good for what it was. I'd buy it again. It went perfectly with the taters tots and root beer. A nice, healthy diabetic lunch. I needed the carbs. Yummy!
Guess what? According to the noon news/weather report...we are supposed to have wind on Sunday which might gust to 80 mph!!! I thought I heard this wrong...but I heard it 3 more times! I hope something changes drastically between now and Sunday. That would be horrible. I positively dread the thought...
We have to go to Big Spring on Tuesday. (I dread that, too) Husband has to have the required Physical Therapy 'evaluation' prior to going to Albuquerque for the Spinal Neurosurgery appointment. Why? You ask. I have no idea. I answer. It's protocol. That's what I was told. So we will leave here Tuesday morning and be back when they are done.
I think it will probably cost $300 to drive up there!!! Regular gas here today was between $3.39 and $3.54 per gallon. I can hardly wait to see what it is in the morning!!
Hey...did OJ Simpson get beat up in jail...or not? I am reading conflicting reports (and you know I only want the truth about OJ!) I heard he made a pass or something to that effect to a couple of white women...and was beaten senseless (which shouldn't have taken long) by some white supremacist inmates. He just needs to never talk to women again. White women. Ever. Maybe they were Ginsu sales women...I mean...why was he talking to them anyway? I want to find out if this is true. I don't know why...I just want to know. I love trivia gossip!
It's tea time. For some reason, I am sleepy and think I'll shower and wake myself up. It's too early to go to sleep. So I'll clean up and have some hot tea and see what's on TV. Have a nice night!

How do you spell 'wind'?
'Jesus Christ I just got hit by a flying rock!' That's how you spell wind. West Texas wind. Today. And tomorrow. It's like being sand blasted. And not in a good way.
We are busy. All weekend.
Something sarcastic was said yesterdayand directed at me and Bobbie. I won't go into it. I will let it fester inside me till I blow. It wasn't a good day to hear this. I'm not a happy angry person.
My brain is in overtime. I think I want to make many, many collages. You never run out of subjects! I need to research frames to know how big to cut some poster board. And I am saying poster board...but it is really a thick mat board. I'll find the proper name one of these days...but it escapes me right this minute. I know you know what I mean. And the frames would only be a simple box/shadowbox style frame. I got some a couple of years ago on line from Dollar Tree for...you guessed it! A DOLLAR!! I had to buy a case, but for that price...it's worth it.
Any subject ideas? I have thought of some standards - cats; dogs; horses...and some off beat. Food; Westerns; Sunglasses (adding some dimension), Art & Crafts; Hunting; Cowboys and Indians...Help a sista out!! These...if made appealing...could be good sellers here in Alpine at a craft show.
It's something fun to do that I have no pressure to do nor do I need to be in a hurry to do. Arts...in progress. Forever...
I Gorilla glued my fingers together today. No...not on purpose! I didn't realize there was a teeny tiny hole in the tube and it shot out the back and front simultaneously. I pulled my fingers apart. It hurt. A lot. Not one of my smartest moves. The glue works, though!
Bobbie got her eyes checked today. She has diabetes, also. When she got to the optometrist's office, she found that they had failed to tell her that she needed her eyes dialated. She said it wasn't gonna happen as she was in Odessa and would have to drive home! They said that is was standard procedure with any patient with diabetes. She said they could do it next time. Anyway, she had the exam (without the dialation) and the DR said her vision was not too good and she had to get bifocals. (She got the ones that don't have the defined line) She had hoped to get the prescription filed at Eye Mart or something similar, but ended up getting them where she was examined. The lenses...and just the lenses...were $120......EACH! Holy SHIT!! And it wasn't like the 'no defined line' made a huge difference - it was only $20. The frames were $49.99. The exam was $75.00. I think I will stay blind! I know...it's imperative that I get mine checked...and my vision is finally back to where it used to be so I don't have to wear Redneck Bi-Focals anymore. So I really need to make an appointment. I just don't dare to! Maybe I'll do one eye at a time...
My hair is crooked. Not just a little. An inch or two. The length...on my neck...you know how you tug on it and sort of run it through your fingers till you reach the full length...? Well, the left side is longer than the right side. I don't care enough to wack it off...it just feels strange. I never noticed it before...I don't think (?). Maybe I did.
There is a movie on called 'Last Holiday' with Queen Latifah. I like her and it's a funny movie. I think I'll watch it...I think I can stay awake for a couple of hours. Have a great night!

What are you grateful for?
I know I have touched on this before...but I can't remember when. So I am sitting here thinking of the things I like. I'm not thankful or grateful for them...as that would be selfish. I'm just happy I can see, smell and touch them while I am on this earth. Some are smart...some are dumb...some are weird. These are material things. But I just like them.

Testing the waters
Collage. Fun stuff. I need several more poster boards hanging to collect my thoughts. West Texas, being my initial inspiration, has suddenly evolved into 'states'. Naturally, Maine and Wyoming. But I need another...I'm thinking New Mexico. I like the colorfulness of New Mexico. I have only been in Albuquerque to visit for a few days...but I want to scratch something off 'my list'. That being a visit to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. If and when I get there, maybe I won't have to finish the rest of 'the list' which is a visit to Mount Rushmore. I still can't believe we never went there when we lived in Wyoming. I want to see it and the surrounding amazing attractions - Devil's Tower and Crazy Horse. Yes...they will still be on 'the list' but Georgia O'Keeffe would be a dream come true for me.
She deserves a poster board.
I got a lot of stuff done today. Things I have needed to do for quite a while. It's a good feeling. And less painful than I thought it was going to be! I just kept putting stuff off but now...off the list!
Now I have some paperwork to catch up on. I will do it tomorrow and that will be that.
An amazing day today. Sunny and warm. Again. And predicted again for tomorrow. I love it.
I need to take some photos using Francine as a model. She doesn't know it yet. I have a few necklaces that I need to photograph and I think actually around a neck would look good. I have some black velvet that I can drape around her for a nice background. Beats styrofoam.
Hmm....there's an interesting show on the Discovery Channel....it's about Bonnie and Clyde and artifacts that were owned and used by them. Looks good. I think I'll watch it. Have a nice evening!

Glad the long weekend is over
The 'weekend' continued through today. It was long and busy. But all went fairly smooth for us. And I'm glad it's over. We have a couple of slow days and then...busy again.
The upcoming weekend Alpine will host the Cowboy Poerty Weekend. And the Trappings of Texas exibit. This is quite something. There are amazing craftsmen and artists who show their creations. Art; leather craft, such as saddles, boots; jewelry. This show co-incides with the cowboy poets who perform all weekend. It's quite an array of characters...musical and speakers...they host pancake and biscuiuts and gravy breakfasts as well as BBQ and chili in the evenings. It's very 'western in the west'. For more and interesting info on the Cowboy Poetry Gathering as well as the Trappings, check out these websites, http://www.cowboy-poetry.org/ and www.sulross.edu/~museum/trappings.html.
I wish I could could do things that were exceptional enough to show at something like that. Maybe someday. Practice practice practice.
It should be nice weather this weeked. We are packed. There is a poet, actually two, Joe Green and Mary Agape, who usually stay here and they do a performance but there was a death in his family and they'll not be coming. Last year we co-ordinated his 'show' with a fundraiser Husband did for the Family Crisis Center here in Alpine. It was very successful and fun.
Interesting tidbit - Silver almost double in value today. I think I need to assess my inventory. I had to reorder silver and gold findings after that UPS issue and I got eveything at almost what I had originally ordered it for. I need to check out earwires and chains tonight online. That is mostly what I use in sterling.
There are millions of birds outside on the feeder. The sun is shining and they are enjoying the afternoon. There are quite a few finches and several are deep red. They are so pretty.
Oh...the BBQ yesterday went well. Husband cooked the chicken and sausage...which was really tasty. I made a pasta salad and peach crisp (with the Frenda Vanilla ice cream). Husband made baked beans and a new cole slaw that he thought up...and it was fantastic. He used Napa cabbage which he sliced thin. For the dressing, he used honey, minced ginger, freshly ground coriander seed, rice wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar reduction, zest of an orange and lemon and I think that's it. He heated the dressing and poured it over the cabbage and let it marinate overnight. It was the best! The orange and lemon zest absolutely made the salad. Delish-i-ous! Everyone loved all the food. I think Husband's next cooking event will be the fundraiser on April 30. That will be a good one.
I need to fix something to eat...which means leftovers. And I think I'll sleep like a log after a shower later. I am tired tonight. Have a nice evening...

Thank God it's Friday!!
It was a nice day. Sunny and warm/hot. It was busy, but Bobbie and Raven were both here and we got done fairly quickly. We decided we needed something to eat so we went to Stripes. It's a gas station/convenience store that sells fast food stuff. I know I mentioned them many moons a go. They were pretty good when they first opened the hot fast food section, but quickly went down hill. We haven't been there in quite a while so we thought...why not. I am a fruit person and they have large and small containers to 'u fill 'em'...so I did. The food station was really clean (or I would have passed) and I got a nice selection - cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, strawberries, grapes (red & green), pineapple, cherries. Very tasty. The 'large' was one of those quart styrofoam cups and I smashed it full! It hit the spot.
What a difference a couple of weeks makes. We went from the 'frozen fountain' to watering the dry brown grass. It won't take long for the green shoots to pop through. And I know we still have some winter left...but spring has sprung in my world.
Husband is cooking for a group of rock hunters on Sunday. Let's see...he is fixing sausage, BBQ chicken, pasta salad, coleslaw, baked beans and other condiments. I need to figure out something for a dessert. I made brownies the last time. I am thinking perhaps a cobbler. Peach. That would certainly be the easiest. And a scoop of vanilla ice cream. French vanilla. Sounds perfect.
They have Easter candy out in the stores. Actually, it was out before Valentine's Day. We had gone to the Dollar Store for supplies for the Lodge and on one side of the aisle were the Valentine's chocolates and candy hearts and on the other side were elaborate Easter baskets and Peeps! I love those Peeps. Pure sugar. Yum Yum! I love the yellow chickens. First you bite off the head...then shove the rest of the Peep body in after it. A mouthful of pure Peep delight.
I think I am going to hang a poster board on my wall and start a collage. I have some glue sticks and I'm ready for inspiration. I suppose it should be 'West Texas'. I used to makes lots of collages. Fun ones - serious ones - dimensional - all photographs. I think I need to do it again.
Damn! I wish I had a Peep! I never should have thought about them!! I have a few things to do before it gets dark. See you later!

Fundraiser in the works
OK. We had a meeting this afternoon with a couple of the kids from the Theater Group and confirmed that the fundraiser for their trip to Europe will be on April 30. They are very excited to have set the ball in motion so it will be plan - plan - plan from here. We met at Harry's (big surprise! Amber works there...) and before we left, two friends came in who both work at the university in the food service department and I secured all of the desserts! What's really nice...Connie used to own and operate a restaurant here and she is an amazing pastry chef! I'm thrilled. Onward and upward!!
I found my other info from the previous benefits that we have done so I can refresh my memory. We have had silent auctions, regular auctions, raffles, door prizes...I just need to formulate the plan.
Husband woke me up this morning to tell me we had no power. I was asleep. I didn't need any power. Imagine that. I'm still not sure what I was supposed to do about it...but I called the Police Dept. who told me there was a line down. OK. So then I called the Electric Company (who is based in Shreveport, LA - go figure) who told me that they were receiving many calls from my area and the only thing they could tell me was that we should have power restored by 7:30 AM. Swell. And I'm awake. What a bummer.
So we decide to walk outside to see what we can see, if anything. We saw flashing lights. Several cars of flashing lights belonging to the Sheriff's Department. Hmmmmmmm...
Upon further investigation, we see a big ol' 18 wheeler smashed into a telephone pole. Hence, the 'lines' down theory. Going west, there is a railroad underpass. I'm guessing this driver might have been a little too tall and decided to hang a right and turn around. Unfortunately, there was a telephone pole in his way. Damn the luck. I think power must have come back on around 8:30. I was sound asleep and for whatever reason I woke up like I'd been shot and it was 8:45. We have two digital clocks and one was flashing 8:30 and the other was not flashing but was at 8:45. The atomic clock said 8:45. It was 8:45. I got up, ate a banana and went to work. The cable was still off but came on about 20 minutes later.
That was an exciting morning. I hope we don't have a repeat.
It was so warm and nice out today. The water will be running on the grass in the courtyard now to hopefully green it up. I know we can get more crappy weather but for now it's great. I love it here. I want to plant something. I'm sure this pang of energy will pass. Soon. It was a little windy off and on today but nothing like what was predicted. I'm glad.
I guess I'll go do something constructive. Make a few lists. Drink some tea. Have a nice night!

Calculations
We have a local access channel on TV here that has the 'word of the day' and a little interesting fact 'o the day. Todays fact was a killer.
"In a year, the average person walks 4 miles making their bed." THEIR bed. Not everybody on the planets bed!
I, when I have simply nothing to do, should calculate the millions of miles I walk here just in the course of one busy day. I punish myself. You know I whine...this will definitely send me flying over the edge. There are 36 beds on this property. Holy shit...this is criminal.
I hate housekeeping. Yesterday, the lady who works in the office wasn't feeling well when she got here in the morning. I hated to leave her alone, but I had to go to Ft. Stockton to VA with Husband. We just went up and back, but it was still almost 2 when I got back. Since I hadn't done anything...I take that back...I cleaned one stinking (and I mean that literally) room before I left and finished the stays when I got back...plus an unexpected out...I didn't go up and check on her until I was done. I know...I'm bad...but I knew it wouldn't take me long to get done so I was selfish. Anyhoo...when I got to the office...she didn't look any better than when I left. She's 70 and has diabetes but she didn't think the way she felt was diabetes related. Nevertheless, she felt bad. I told her I'd be glad to stay in the office so she could go home or to the DR or whatever she wanted to do. Her DR is in Marfa (25 miles west) and she felt bad enough that she decided to go to the ER.
They kept her overnight and thank goodness it wasn't any worse than it was. Evidently there were several things not quite right and the combination was not good for her. I know she is very relieved, as we all are. She plans to be at work in the morning so I can see for myself.
Now...me sitting in the office is interesting. I have no idea how to run the cash register or the credit card machine. Actually I do...I choose not to. So...I was glad no body wanted to buy anything. Unless they had exact change...I probably would have just given it to them! (I'm funny like that...) I am capable of making reservations and handling what ever needs tending too....I just don't want to. Actually, I was watching a movie on TV. 'Enough' with Jennifer Lopez. It's a good movie and I only got interrupted a couple of times. I was irritated...but I got over it.
You know what? I'm a liar.I actually like working in the office. Have I mentioned that I truly HATE housekeeping? Well I do. I may have to think this office sit-chee-a-shun over.
What a nice day today. Tomorrow is supposed to be quite windy.
Husband and I have a meeting with a young lady from the Sul Ross Theater Group regarding having a fundraiser for them in April. I may have mentioned this before. I don't remember. There are 15 students in the group and they are going to Europe in May (I think). Husband had offered his cooking services several months ago...and I guess the time is here. They are very enthusiastic about it...and I would be happy to help them. Busy Busy. It should cost around $3,500 per student to go so they are serious about raising money. This is a good thing cuz they will be really helpful and I won't have to kill myself! I like that. But there's still lots to do and time passes quickly. tI will be fun.
Oh...the trip to VA? What a bunch of morons. It was a total total waste of time. Dr said...'I guess we need to give you a referral for a consult in Albuquerque. NO SHIT!!! Why...why...why couldn't this have been said on the phone!!! What a waste of time - gas - pure bullshit. DR said Husband would hear from Albuq by the end of the week. I plan on hurrying that along. He's miserable. Which makes me miserable. I stay miserable. I'm a miserable whiny bitch. And PROUD OF IT!! I come by it naturally.
Anyway...I'll got to work tomorrow morning till noon or so and then leave. Somebody else is supposed to be here tomorrow, too, be it Bobbie or Raven. Supposed to be. I'm leaving anyway. I'm tired. Got things to do.
I bought 2 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. I love the Girl Scouts. I was one. For 30 years or so. And I live for Thin Mints. Unfortunately...there are only 6 or 8 in the box now...not like when I sold them in the olden days when there were, oh, maybe 100 and they fit in your mouth whole and you sort of melted them a little and then broke them in half with your tongue and chewed them up with your eyes closed...savoring each and every chew...mmmmmm.....yeah! The other box is, I already forgot...round and coconut-y with a squiggle of chocolate. Very tasty! I used to really like Peanut Butter Roundups, too. And the Shortbread ones. What am I saying...I liked the ALL!
I have only eaten one cookie out of each box. I am being very good. I nibble. Like a mouse.
I suppose I should get some rest. And hope something is on TV. I doubt it. At least nothing I'm interested in anyway. Oh well..........Have a nice night!

Miserable
I am done. Worn out. That's it. It has taken me two days to do two days of work. I know that sounds stupid...but I have to average it out. I want to figure out how many sheets and towels I washed (and folded). I know it doesn't mean much to anyone but me...but it was a wicked weekend by myself. There is one room that I am leaving till tomorrow. I had to spray it pretty heavily with a 'scent remover' and also with bleach. Some folks were in there for a couple of weeks and cooked a lot. Lots of garlic and curry. I think I have neutralized it. I removed everything...but by the time I finished today...and this was the last room left...I was too pooped to deal with it. I'm sure I can deal with it tomorrow.
We have to leave at 9:30 in the morning to go to the VA in Ft. Stockton. We should know what's next with Husband's back. It took a lot to get this appt. tomorrow. Long story. It was originally scheduled for March 25!! TOTALLY unacceptable. So I got on the phone. Long story short...we have to be there in the morning. I wasn't planning on going, but I have only a couple of things to get done in the AM and will start around 8. That way I can hear what this DR has to say. We will just go up and come back.
Packages from UPS are history. No body knows where they are. Claims Dept. got my completed forms today. DUH! I re-'placed' the original order and am hoping for the best. Seven of the items I really need are out of stock. Big surprise. Unfortunately, I'll wait because I am getting this stuff at a killer price. It should only be a week.
My body is so tired. I have taken a shower and hate to lay down because I know I'll go to sleep. That's not a bad thing..but I would more than likely wake up at 3:00 am! Not a good thing. I'll watch Hawaii 5-0 an a few minutes.
Hope you have a nice night and Happy Valentine's Day!!

Spring is coming!
T'was a wonderful day today. Warm and comfy. Not too busy...busy enough. Tomorrow may kill me. And I mean it. I am by myself. Bobbie and Raven are taking Raven's son, Joseph, to the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston and will be leaving around 7 AM. I know they feel bad leaving me alone...but it's OK....I told them they will owe me BIG TIME when they get back! Ha Ha! Seriously though...there are 18 outs with 5 dog rooms. I truly, truly hate this job. I will do what I can and that's it. So if I'm not here for a day or two...it's because I am horizontal and in pain.
Update on package deliveries. 2 still missing. The critical ones...naturally.
Call to UPS:
"Hello, where are my packages?" I ask.
"Well...let's see now," says 'almost too happy to talk to me'. "Hmmmm...well. let's see now."
"You already said that."
"Let's see now, well, yes I did, now didn't I." I envision stupid face to go with stupid remark.
"Yep."
"Well...I'm not showing any movement after scanning into Dallas!" Big surprise. I already know this. "And that was on the 2nd of February! Well...let's see now..."
"So....where might they be?"
"Hold on a second. I'm trying to see where they...nooooo...not there...ummm...nooooo...not there either....well...I'm just not sure where they are!"
"Guess what?" I prod. "I know where they aren't!!!"
"Well now...I guess you do! Let's see what we can do here." I'm not understanding this 'we' shit...but I'm game.
"I have an idea!" I re-prod. "How's about we file a claim!"
"Well now...I suppose we could...but we have to wait another 5 days since we have variables."
Variables. We have variables. I don't think I have ever, personally, had a variable. Don't think I have ever wanted a variable. Evidently I have one now. V-a-r-i-a-b-l-e.
"We have a whole different procedure when there are weather related issues. Time is a factor."
Do you think?
"I'm aware of that...but I really need to get this resolved as I really need the items to complete an order...."
"Now...I understand where you are coming from and where you are going..." she says with just a little too much attitude for me.
"No....I don't think you do...and I only need 'resolution'...not opinion...so if you will just tell me exactly what I need to do...I'll be right on top of it and 'we' can get this ball rolling..."
"Well...you can access the forms on line but you will still have to wait 5 days..."
I cut her off mid sentence and found the forms on line, filled them out and sent them off. Screw the 5 days. At least the proverbial ball is rolling. I'm sure I'll get...resolution.
I know. It's nobody's fault. It just couldn't have happened at a worse time.
My battery is going out in my netbook. I've had it for a year, I guess. They are around $30 so I'll figure it out tomorrow. I mean Monday. I have to keep it plugged in or It will shut off after around 45 minutes of use. Not a problem. Just irritating.
This must be Steven Seagal night. What a thrill. It's almost midnight so I guess I should rest up for tomorrow. Damn it.
Enjoy your Sunday!

Brrrrrrrrr
Holy crap it was cold this morning! Wind chill was -11 when I went to work at 9:00 am. I knew it was going to be cold...but not that cold. Oh well. And it's cold now...maybe 20 degrees...but it's supposed to get up to 70 again on Sunday for a high. There were even some snowflakes swirling around this morning. Strange.
A very easy day...'outs' turned into 'stays' so we were only here for about an hour and a half.
I am still waiting for packages. According to all tracking info...everything has left Mesquite and Dallas and should be in route to Alpine. Two packages were logged into Odessa at 11:01 last night. It's quite frustrating.
There are a lot of sick people in Alpine. BFFAL has not been feeling well for over a week. She hoped to go to work today and said she had gone to the DR who said she had 'a little bronchitis'...I thought you had it or you didn't...and was given an inhaler. She said it was helping, but now she was sneezing like crazy. She had to pick up more meds at the pharmacy and said she had gone there 3 times and it wasn't ready as they had so many prescriptions to fill! She finally told them to call her when it was ready! But she didn't look too good yesterday when I saw her. Her face was pretty flushed and her eyes were puffy. She looked like she didn't feel well. And the also has 'the cough'. Gail also still has 'the cough'. I still have 'the cough'. It just racks your chest. I know I'm sick of it.
This is Wednesday night...so it's 'Shooting Crap Shows' on the Outdoor Channel. Oh happy day. I think I shall take an hour shower and pretend they will all be over when I come out. I can dream. Even though I think there is nothing on any of the other channels...I find it more satisfying to bitch about these shows. I know Husband thinks I should absorb every word as biblical...but this sponge don't work today.
"Did you see that??" he will ask, incredulously!
"No". I harrumph. (I have no idea what that word is....but I like it)
"You should really watch this...you might learn something" he states emphatically.
"Why?" I ask innocently. "Are they crocheting a holster??"
"I'm serious...this is very valuable information that you might actually have to use someday."
"Oh...yeah...I see what you mean! Just this afternoon I thought...damn! I need to whip out the old Gatling gun and blow a few cars off the road while I have nothing else to do. Yeah! You're right!! What was I thinking!!" Sarcasm drips off my tongue...all over the floor.
(I will remember that DR. Richard Gatling developed this gun when I am on Jeopardy...)
"Never mind...I just think you might want to learn about these things...you know...broaden your knowledge." Husband is being sincere.
"OK...you're right. Hey! I have an idea! I'll watch this...and take the test after...if you learn how to crochet! That sounds fair." More sarcasm. I chuckle and look at him....What the...!!!
HE'S ASLEEP!! I'll fix him. I cough. And cough and cough and cough some more.
He's awake now. I have changed the channel.
Have you seen Hot in Cleveland? It's funny. Corny funny. I love everyone on the show. It's on in about 15 minutes.
I bet they don't have a Gatling Gun on the show. Well...with this cast...they might!
See you tomorrow!

I am still waiting for packages. According to all tracking info...everything has left Mesquite and Dallas and should be in route to Alpine. Two packages were logged into Odessa at 11:01 last night. It's quite frustrating.
There are a lot of sick people in Alpine. BFFAL has not been feeling well for over a week. She hoped to go to work today and said she had gone to the DR who said she had 'a little bronchitis'...I thought you had it or you didn't...and was given an inhaler. She said it was helping, but now she was sneezing like crazy. She had to pick up more meds at the pharmacy and said she had gone there 3 times and it wasn't ready as they had so many prescriptions to fill! She finally told them to call her when it was ready! But she didn't look too good yesterday when I saw her. Her face was pretty flushed and her eyes were puffy. She looked like she didn't feel well. And the also has 'the cough'. Gail also still has 'the cough'. I still have 'the cough'. It just racks your chest. I know I'm sick of it.
This is Wednesday night...so it's 'Shooting Crap Shows' on the Outdoor Channel. Oh happy day. I think I shall take an hour shower and pretend they will all be over when I come out. I can dream. Even though I think there is nothing on any of the other channels...I find it more satisfying to bitch about these shows. I know Husband thinks I should absorb every word as biblical...but this sponge don't work today.
"Did you see that??" he will ask, incredulously!
"No". I harrumph. (I have no idea what that word is....but I like it)
"You should really watch this...you might learn something" he states emphatically.
"Why?" I ask innocently. "Are they crocheting a holster??"
"I'm serious...this is very valuable information that you might actually have to use someday."
"Oh...yeah...I see what you mean! Just this afternoon I thought...damn! I need to whip out the old Gatling gun and blow a few cars off the road while I have nothing else to do. Yeah! You're right!! What was I thinking!!" Sarcasm drips off my tongue...all over the floor.
(I will remember that DR. Richard Gatling developed this gun when I am on Jeopardy...)
"Never mind...I just think you might want to learn about these things...you know...broaden your knowledge." Husband is being sincere.
"OK...you're right. Hey! I have an idea! I'll watch this...and take the test after...if you learn how to crochet! That sounds fair." More sarcasm. I chuckle and look at him....What the...!!!
HE'S ASLEEP!! I'll fix him. I cough. And cough and cough and cough some more.
He's awake now. I have changed the channel.
Have you seen Hot in Cleveland? It's funny. Corny funny. I love everyone on the show. It's on in about 15 minutes.
I bet they don't have a Gatling Gun on the show. Well...with this cast...they might!
See you tomorrow!

Pecans
I ate some pecans. With a brownie around them. It was good. Very good. It was worth it. I am not going to check my blood sugar. What's the point. I'll feel guilty. I already know that. 'Nough said.
I got one package today. Not one of the ones I need. UPS was here at 6:30 tonight. He said they had 2 full trucks that arrived this evening. I hope my stuff is on there. Only one said 'Scanned in Alpine' today when I checked the tracking info on line today. The others hadn't changed.
I decided to crochet tonight. I am going to use up all my yarn. Remember the book I got on baby hats? It's really cute...still not the bear hat that I want...but I may have figured out my own pattern.
It's supposed to be colder tonight...with a possibility of snow showers in the morning. Interesting
concept. It was 70 today...isn't that nuts? But the wind did start to blow late this afternoon.
There is a program on the History Channel tonight with Larry the Cable Guy. He's trucking around America doing interesting things. I think I'll watch it. Let's see...it's Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy. Clever title.
Have a nice evening...

Manic Monday
I wish I had a brownie. One big thick chocolaty pecan infused caramel laced warm and chewy brownie. Just one. Doesn't that sound good. I'll have to settle for a plum...which in no way resembles the above described decadent brownie. I have no idea why I have this chocolate craving. But believe me....it's intense. Oh wait...I can have the pecans...it's a start.
Nice day. Sunny. Melting. Cold weather is returning in a day or two. High wind warning for the next 2 days. Gusts to 60 mph. Crap.
I am searching for my packages. They were not delivered today and it's starting to piss me off. I e-mailed all shippers...they weren't all from Amazon. Tracking still shows the same as yesterday. Some in Dallas...some in Mesquite.
Hawaii 5-0 is on. It's a new episode. I think I'll watch it and take some Tylenol. Headache. See you tomorrow.

Super Bowl Sunday
It's here! Super Bowl Sunday. Or as I call it...Sunday. I ate some chili. I watched the singing of America the Beautiful....which was very nice...and then Christina Aguilera sang The Star Spangled Banner. They need to find someone else. It wasn't even the whole song...and it needs to be just...The Star Spangled Banner. From start to finish. President and Laura Bush are there. They showed them when they panned the crowd. A few of the players were actually mouthing the words and had a tear in their eye. I know I did. Even if I don't like the way it was sang/sung...it's still the most moving song ever written. 'Nough said.
It's is a beautiful day today. The sun is amazing. The fountain is almost completely melted. The fish are happy. I see on the weather channel that it's going to be '6' for the low on Wednesday. Hey! We're ready for it!!
I have back ordered stuff supposedly in route. I understand about the weather, but I am looking up UPS tracking information and I am seeing this 'stuff' still in Mesquite and Dallas and has been since the 1st. Maybe everything will all show up tomorrow. I hope so. I have lots of things to finish.
I have some stuff to work on tonight and I think I'll get started. It's still early and I can put in a few hours of incredible creativity! Here I go!!

Hot water...never take it for granted
I don't. I won't. I like it. A lot. I am clean and I smell good. Two very good things.
What a difference a day makes. The snow is disappearing fast...the fountain is getting back to normal. The fish are swimming and happy. See??? -------------->
It was a little windy but all in all a very nice day. Almost all of the rooms are back to normal. There are a few still 'iffy'. As I said, I have hot water so I am the happiest of campers!
I still have this stupid cough. I don't feel bad...but my chest sure hurts. I'm fed up with it.
Here's the photo of the fountain that I was trying to download last night....with some of the snow. It was a' between flurry' moment...
What a mess in Dallas for the Super Bowl! Damn...just when you try to plan a really nice party! Speaking of party...I imagine Harry's will be packed tomorrow. Husband made a pot of chili. Or I should say it's cooking now as we speak. He'll simmer it all night. I tasted it earlier and it's really good. I'll probably save back a container of it for us for supper tomorrow. He'll take it down after lunch tomorrow but won't stay for any of the 'festivities'. It's a pot luck moment so I can imagine there will be tons of stuff to eat. The noise level will no doubt be mega decible. Not for this chick. I could care less who plays or wins. But I know it's a fun time.
We got a movie in the mail today. I had ordered it a long time ago on a 'special' but it was out of stock and was finally shipped last week. It's 'The Greatest American Hero'. Do you remember that series? It was on quite a few years ago...it had William Katt, Connie Sellecca and Robert Culp. Katt plays this undercover hero that wears a red and blue 'hero' suit...saves the good guys...dumb but cute. There were 43 shows in the 2-3 year series and it was $10 for the whole shebang. The theme song was the catchy part...I think it goes....Believe it or not I'm walking on air - I never thought I could feel so free - Flying away on a wing and a prayer - Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me.
I think we are going to watch a couple of the episodes now. Nothing else is on. It's only 9:00 but you know me...gotta have that sleep! I'll be out pretty quick.
I'll see you tomorrow...stay warm!

Back from Big Spring
What a wild trip up. The wind was blowing. The snow was blowing. The whole trip was blowing. When we got on the highway heading towards Odessa...the snow was letting up. By the time we got almost to Big Spring...there was no snow...just wind...and the sun was shining. Strange.
We ate dinner when we got there and were back in the room by 6:00. I took a hot shower and was asleep by 7:00!! But I woke up a lot. I was so tired. Mostly from not feeling great anyway and it is a long and tiring drive (over 4 hours). I never looked at the computer. I took some crocheting & never touched it.
I woke up this morning at 5:30 but dozed on and off until 8:00. By then I needed food so I went for the motel breakfast. This is wise...to stay where food is served. It wasn't one of those where you get the waffles...but I don't care. There was scrambled eggs, sausage, fruit, toast, English muffins, bagels and cream cheese, several kinds of mini muffins, juice, cereal...a nice selection. I got Husband and I eggs, fruit and muffins and hot tea. Then...we were off to the hospital.
First, Husband had xrays, which are a pre-requisite for the MRI and then they did an 'orbital xray' due to metal fragments in his eye. Go figure. Then the MRI itself. Then a CAT scan. Then another set of xrays. The whole procedure went quite fast for the VA and then we were on the road, stopped for fuel, stopped at the grocery store and got back home by 5:30. Long day.
The wind blew again all the way home but there was no snow and the sun was shining. At least when we got here we had hot water! Thank God! And the snow on the ground was pretty much gone. This was the fountain today when we got home.
No snow! I tried to post the one from the day before...but it wouldn't let me. I hate that. I'll try again later or tomorrow to show the snow. And the fish swimming around under the ice!
I think I'll rest for a while. Might be back...don't know. Have a nice evening.

This weather is criminal! (Thursday's post)
I am contemplating actually getting in the dryer with the towels. It is positively frigid in here. We only have electric space heaters literally squeezing slight bursts of warm air into the ice crystals in this room! There were only 4 stays last night, but laundry from yesterday (remember those power outages??) so I figured I just catch it up. STUPID! At least I can generate heat in my fingertips by typing...
The weather appears to be dreadful towards Big Spring. I checked with TXDOT on-line. I'll relay this info to Husband for the final decision. I'm not the driver...but I will be the passenger huddled on the floor covered with a blanket with the heat blowing directly on my head...reading...with a match.
Wait till you see the photo of the fountain today!! It's amazing! I'll post it later.
I checked rooms. All that had water...still have water. All that didn't...still don't. All is right with the world. No danger of anything thawing today. Especially me.
Well. Gotta go. Need to finish up so we can leave. Be back in a day or so.

I'm back
It's still cold. Big surprise! I'm waiting for hot water for tea. I have medicated myself and need some rest. I worked today which might not have been a smart thing. But I needed fresh air...and I got plenty of it. With white flakes. Horizontal white flakes!
I still have this cough that is rough enough to unblock something internal. I sound like a 75 year smoker. Wait a second...I mean I sound like a person who has been smoking for 75 years!! Yeah! That's what I meant!! The fever is gone which is a good thing. Since it's impossible for me to have a hot shower tonight (see previous post)...I'll settle for steam from the tea cup. Small sacrifices. Actually...large sacrifice.
We have to go to the VA tomorrow in Big Spring. We'll put a few more miles on 'ole Nellie...
It will be at least an overnighter so I can hopefully soak in a hot and preferably screaming hot tub. I should take some eucalyptus with me. Or melt a jar of Vick's in it.
I'm surprised the VA called back as quickly as they did for Husband. DR in Ft Stockton had said it would most likely be 10-15 days to co-ordinate all tests needed...so this is great. I can't remember if I explained all of the 'back issues' (I'm sure I have) but the condition may (finally) be at the surgery level. And at this point, the damage is exacerbating the leg and foot pain. A vicious cycle. Makes Husband a pain the ass to live with. Even more than usual.
I'm drinking tea with milk and sugar. It's good. I should shake some cinnamon in it. Wait a second...I'll be right back.
Mmmmm...good. I used to drink it this way when I was young.
I guess I'll get some sleep now. It will be a long day tomorrow. Have a good one!

Afterthought - maybe I need some cinnamon on toast??

Jesus Mary Mother of God it's COLD out there!!
Was is cold at your house today? It was f**king FREEZING here. Wait...I mean it was BELOW f**king freezing here!! (Sorry family in Maine...who are at this very moment calling me a whining wimp!!) But it's really, really, really cold for here.
And we are now having what will forever be known as the winter of the Rotating Power Outages. They suck. We have so many problems here on site it is horrible. We, personally, have no hot water. As a matter of fact, over half the Lodge has no hot water. Cold appears to be flowing OK in most rooms. It's going to be a mess. At least it will take a couple of days for the worst to
happen since it's supposed to stay this cold for at least another 36 hours...minimum. I expect a few cracked and broken
pipes. The photo to the right was taken around noon today. Definitely cold here. But the fish are alive!! Gotta keep that water flowing...
OK...since we are having these 'outages' on regular intervals, I am going to post this right now...and add more in my own 'intervals'. I had just finished 2 additional paragraphs which are now gone forever because the outage caused this draft not to be saved. I totally hate that!

This photo was taken at 5:00. As you can see...it's getting colder! Duh! I might actually get these pictures posted before I quit writing. I am saying a silent prayer to the 'Outage Gods".
And finally...I took this last one around 8:30 tonight. I call it 'Nicey Icey'. Brilliant!
Now I can't figure out....without risk of losing everything...how to align this writing. Personally, I could care less. This seems to be working. Oops...almost lost it. I think I better post this and shut up. Might be back. b

Let's see...outside temperature this morning...17. My temperature this morning...103. I have the cough from hell and ache like I got hit by a truck. I am souped out. It's 2:30 Tuesday afternoon. I just woke up after being asleep since yesterday noon. I needed it. I still need it. I am medicated again, and will be out shortly.
It snowed last night..or this morning.
