Sorry for the absence. I spent the last few days helping my sister getting settled after she had a little mishap climbing into her rig. The steps were icy and she slipped. Most people think that truck drivers don't do anything but sit on their bums all day, but there's much more to it than just driving. Her elbow is fractured and she's forbidden to lift, push, pull, or use her right arm in any way for the next four weeks. Angie's right handed and it's really driving her mad too. She's been team driving with her Hubby for seven years now. You may think it'd be tough to spend that much time with your spouse in a small space, but because they sleep different shifts it's not too terribly bad. Her Hubby took her home Wednesday and unloaded her clothes and whatnot in a hurry to get back on the road. So I took Ravyn & her friend (also homeschooled) up to Oklahoma Thursday to help get her organized. The two mile drive up the mountain to her place was quite fun due to recent rain. The girls helped her get her laundry sorted and laid in plenty of firewood while I stocked her kitchen. I even went ahead and cooked a weeks worth of meals for the freezer. Since they don't spend more than a few days a month at home, there was no internet. Cell service is limited at best, but she's all set up now. I plan on going back in a week or so. On the way home, we stopped in Paris, Texas and did a little sightseeing. We walked around the Red River Valley Veterans Memorial and posed at the Eiffel Tower. You know I'm going to squeeze some learning in whenever possible! It's nearly my bedtime, but I plan on catching up on the 30DBC this evening. Cheers! |

but seems to be okay today. I worry about my poor circulation, scrub my toes with a soft bristle brush, watch discoloration come and go. I probably need new arteries or veins but hey... "Heathcare" USA (enough said?). I may be better off trying something here in Thailand. But still... wish I lived in a country that had adequate patient based healthcare. Thailand and Taiwan mostly do, but I can't access it. First world systems like Europe, Canada and Australia do, but again, I can't access it.
