No, I am not talking about the re-vamped series ‘The Visitors’ or “V” as it is called.

I am talking about a near-by friend of my husband and I, who has a visiting friend from another part of the state. She told us about all of the snowy scenes that she saw while on the train coming down.

I am just glad that she didn’t try to travel by bus, because she might have been stranded because of road blockages. She told us that she remembered her best night cream, but forgot to put part of her nebulizer in her suitcase. Since I, myself, have sleep apnea and understand how important that breathing can be, I asked her if she will be okay while she is here. She said that she would be okay for a while, I just hope that she does not encounter any problems.

Did I mention…

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Did I mention that we had been going to a lot of places? Of course I did. What else have we been doing lately.

Driving, eating, griping, driving, avoiding the other people on the road. Maybe I should look at some diet pill reviews for my car. That way I should be able to avoid the crazies that are out on the road. I couldn’t believe the things that the other drivers were doing. At least the professional drivers - you know, the ones in the big semis that people like to complain about - seemed to want to drive with their attention on the road and not on what they were drinking, or reading, or hearing on their phone.

Sometimes I wonder why they put up with the other drivers.

Hungry again

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Did I mention that we had been traveling a lot lately?

One thing that I haven’t figured out how to control is my appetite. Driving does seem to create an appetite in me. A good appetite suppressant would help.

This day we munched on chicken strips, pimento cheese sandwich, ham sanwish, potato wedges. That was nice and tasty. Got home, slept (we were rather tired after all), now got up and want something to eat. What else is new? :)

Around and around

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Do you walk to lose weight? I can’t but that is another story.

I always wondered what a person did if they lived in a dangerous neighborhood. Well, one thing that can be done is to use treadmills to walk on.

I know that the pathway on the treadmill will go around and around, but at least you do not have to worry about getting mugged. Another thing that you don’t have to worry aobut is getting run over by one of the dufuses that are on the road these days who do not pay attention to those around them or to road conditions.

Can you tell that I am really bothered by some of the other drivers on the road? YUP.

While I mention it…

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

While I am mentioning traveling….

Do you realize that there are a lot of crazy people in cars out on the highway? If you can safely look at the car next to you, check out what the driver is doing.

Once I saw someone putting on mascara using the mirror while ‘driving’. Hello, what about watching the road or where you are going? Or maybe that is just something extra and ‘not’ necessary?

Give me a break (hopefully not a bone that is). Talking on the cell phone is another pet peeve of mine. How is that phone call more important that your life or mine for that matter?

Do I sound like I am griping? Of course I am. I always thought that when you were driving, you weren’t supposed to do anything else. How about driving and talking to the other person in the car. Of yeah, you are looking at the other person and not at the road.

If these cars were guided by an ‘intelligent computer and the driver was not necessary, I could see doing all of these things. That is not the case. I do not know about you, but I am not ready to die for someone being a dufus instead of being the driver.

To me that is another taste of someone abusing the power that they have.

Traveling

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Okay, remembe4 when I mentioned doing a lot of running around?

We are still traveling. It would count as local, however, I am still tired. If I could I would have some auto accessories that would give me a place to rest my feet on something soft, my rump on something even softer, and my head on something that would keep my neck from getting stiff.

Oh yeah, that is called having a chauffeur isn’t it? Where do you get one of those when your monry is limited and you drive an older model van? My husband spent the time sleeping. He only likes to drive motorcycles.

That is another story.

Dreams are weird

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Yes, I have mentioned dreams before, haven’t I?

Well, anyway, I believe that dreams are weird. Most of the time they do not make any sense in any way shape or form. I recently had one of those types of dreams that involved sinkholes.

Driving down the road going some place. I do not remember where, just some place. There was a sink hole ahead so we had to turn off. Did I tell you that the vehicle was driving itself? No, well, I did say that dreams are weird, though. The inside of the vehicle looked like a living room. I took over the wheel and pulled into a parking lot to avoid the sink hole that appeared across the road. The parking lot of course shortly had sink holes, too.

Went into a nearby house. By this time the vehicle looked like a mini-van, go figure. In the house were people that were planning how to avoid all of the sink holes in the town. No idea why any one was there. As people talked, sink holes appeared around the house. Next thing we knew, the house itself dropped (like an elevator) into a sink hole about one story deep. Used a staircase to escape the house just in time to see our vehicle tip-toe itself out of another sink hole. It looked like a cartoon van this time. I woke up just in time to go HUNH!

Tell me, are dreams weird or not? :)

Traveling

Friday, November 14th, 2008

Traveling is something that people do. Some more than others. At one time in my life, I had traveled to different parts of the country. It was fun, some times it wasn’t fun. The one thing that didn’t happen was me getting sick. For that I am thankful.

I never thought about getting travel medical insurance. So, I am glad to say that sickness didn’t come my way. How do people handle it when they travel and get sick? That is one thing I don’t know. Being at home and getting sick is hard enough, but to be traveling and get sick is something else that i wouldn’t want to think about. Trying to arrange to see a doctor, trying to get medicine, trying to get hospital care would all be nightmarish. When I had traveled a long time ago, there was no such thing as travel medical insurance. I am glad that it exists now for those who need it.
