Sorry for the gap in posts. I haven't been all that busy which leaves little, or nothing, to write about. Life is good. I like Memphis, still. I know in my last post I breifly mentioned moving. Well, Dustin finally made the decision. He wants to move.
We went to Nashville this weekend and drove separately so Dustin could work on the Saab. Well, while stopping at a small gas station on the way, he noticed the emblem on the hood was fading. Most of the bright blue has vanished from just one summer in the intense Memphis sun. Then, there are the cracking bumpers... this alone was enough to convince Dustin that he needs/wants an attached garage! So, Camden Grove Apartmetns, here we come!!! (And Mr. Bud --- you'll be home soon!)
As mentioned, we went to Nashville this weekend but I have been sick since Friday night. The Tennessee flu. It's powerful enough to deserve to be a sentence. Three children have died from it (not in my center) and 14% of the children from my center were out sick last week. I have stayed home the past two days - using sick time during this flu season. I hate the flu. I have lost the fever, but I still have the weakness and tiredness. My ears hurt. My tonsils hurts. My throat hurts. I hurt. I know I will be better soon, though, so no worries! I NEVER used to get sick this often ... but this has been a rough winter for me in the way of colds and the flu.
My parents were fortunate enough to escape the cold of Illinois last week and head to Miami. How unfair is THAT? Nevertheless, they REALLY needed to get out of that cold, windy, icy, stormy, bland state! They love warmth and water - so Miami was perfect. I know it was a great escape for my dad who tends to get Seasonal Affect Depression (Disorder) ... S.A.D. They had to board the kitties while they were gone though ....
The place they boarded Mr. Bud actually had the nerve to call him AGGRESSIVE. If you know the Mr. Bud you know that he does not have an aggressive bone in his body! The only time I have ever heard the cat HISS was when chased or provoked by the evil vacuum machine. (Also, a bath may prove to be a little too traumatic - but that only causes yells of desperation, no hissing or aggressiveness!) Now, he does not like to be caged up ... so he may have gotten cranky if they gave him NO attention! This is a cat who has seen 6 different veterinarians and has never once been called aggressive. These are vets that have cut him open, taken him apart, and changed his SEX! He did not hiss or fight them, even after the operations!!! I am so upset that my cat got no attention while away ... he should have been here with me and I would have taken care of him!
... On a new note ...
This coming Friday (Feb. 29) is the annual Unoffical Celebration at the University of Illinois. Last year I had to miss it because of work. This year, be prepared! I am coming back!!! It will never be the same as two years ago (it was in the lower 70s and sunny), but I know it will be a good time. So many people are coming back for the occasion and I cannot wait to see each and every person!!!
