Out from under a rock,
Well, it is absolutely POURING with rain this morning. And I feel like I am crawling out from under a rock after having been hit by a bus. Last week was a very difficult week for me and I think my whole attitude and outlook has changed. I am looking at things that I want very differently now. It just worked out that way and I have come to some realizations and certain difficult truths about my life. I needed a break to rethink and regroup and be able to function again. I'm just looking at things very differently now.
Yesterday was fine. We went to lunch at Icy's and it was delicious. I had a popcorn shrimp wrap and it was yummy. It was entirely too hot to take Cookie to the park so we left her home and went out by ourselves. We had lunch and went to our favorite stores. I bought a pretty little bunny figurine and at the second store, I found a really nice denim vest.. I am really liking those because the look nice enough, the are not stifling hot in this 90 degree weather and they work perfectly for concealment.
We also went by Target where hubby bought me a really nice Inova LED flashlight. I like my Surefire light for the house but it is a tactical light and doesn't not lend itself to practical use. The Inova works much better. I can carry it on my belt or in my backpack or in my purse easily. i can't do that with the Surefire.
After dinner, it cooled off a bit so at 7:00, I took Cookie to the park for her walk. Hubby stayed home and sprayed the bees that have nested in one of the eaves of the house. I hated to kill them but they were becoming a problem when I went out on the porch or tried to feed the cats.
The park was very nice. It was quite crowded (the entire parking lot was full) but I think there was a family reunion party going on. I took Cookie on her walk which she enjoyed. I have to remember to buy some bug spray though. In the evening, the mosquitos are fierce. But it was a fun time for Cookie. I didn't get home until nearly 9:00 which is late for me. The traffic on Two Notch was really bad. It is getting worse and worse.
Now it is POURING with rain. I don't think I am in a hurry to go anywhere. I don't need anything from the commissary today and I am not in a rush to drive onto post. I think I will just hang around here. I may go in and get a sandwich later and go to Target and Home Depot.
That's it......Barney is on the TV and I have to go and change the channel before I go and use the Elvis channel changer on it.
Gotta go for now. I wish it would let up a little so I can get out and feed Persimmon.
Bye bye
Gas? $3.59 yesterday. It's getting to where the price just doesn't matter anymore. They are going to jack it up as high as they can and we will continue to pay it. The way to make Americans deliriously happy? Give us cheap gas and we won't care about anything else.
I finally figured out that I get 22-25 mpg in my jeep.

You are so lucky! Gas here in N. Mich. is $3.89. My car gets about 28 mpg when it's mostly highway and right now I'm driving about 270 mi. a week. >:( Hope you have a good week.
Smiles, Leigh
