I know...where have I been?
No where, really, but between eye surgery, visits to the ER and "practice" camping, I can hardly make it to the bathroom, much less the Internet.
So the 'ol eyes are working pretty well now. My vision fluctuates when my eyes get dry, but I see well most of the time. I'm told the varying vision could last 3-4 months. nice.
AND - we met with Doc about the strange chest pain that sent me to the ER in an ambulance. We've decided we may never know what it was. The good news - it was most definitely not my heart. In fact, the ticker is in perfect condition, especially considering my history with hypertension and heart issues. "just like Superman" is what I think I heard. Well, duh. Ces't moi, n'est pas?!? heh.
AND - we just did our second weekend of practice camping in the tent-with-wheels. We are getting pretty good at this. The boys are having a great time and they're both sleeping through the night when camping. I know. Awesome...
Our camp trip this past weekend parked us next to a character named Luigi. Luigi and his dog, Pugnacious. Uh, yeah, the dog is a pug. Anyhoo - Luigi is quite a character. He made friends with everyone in the campground using his stories of his life and his motto's. He is convinced that everyone in Texas and Montana hates black people. He is a P.O.W (I'm guessing Viet Nam) and he thinks I am black, too. Maybe he knew my dad? Heh.
So now we start a new week counting down to the Big Week when we leave on vacation (4 weeks to go). I think I can get used to the whole camping thing as long as I have a door. And a bed. And a heater. And a toilet (real porcelain!). And a fridge. And a shower.
See! I can rough it for a few weeks.
I wonder when I get my girl scout badge?
Does it come with a free pedicure?
Heh.
You guys are going to have a blast. So nice to have all the creature comforts while you're enjoying the outdoors. Nice compromise especially with the kiddies.
have a blast! :)
