Ya – I have physically been so busy working and driving and going to my own appointments that I can hardly function at all and doing any work that requires concentration and thought is just about out of the question. I can barely get Articles ready for the next day. Sleep seems like a real good idea most of the time. Perhaps I will get rest soon.
I would advise You to sign up over at Traffic Taxis soon – before David comes to his senses. Right now he is making deals and giving away things right and left. Check it out!
May publish a pic of the stones that came out of me the other night. Or not. Or might wait until they are analyzed.
Bear with me while I get through the busy times ahead.

I think I am in the ‘red’ right now as far as ambition is concerned. Truthfully – I think it started with the ’spell’ the other night. Lack of energy can sometimes aid the condition of lack of ambition. But – being a wimp and disabled – I cannot afford to pass up too many days to get at least a little bit done relative to our new lifestyle – even though it is still months away. Just to give You an idea – years ago when I had to pound a hole in my basement concrete floor to put in a tub for the sump pump – it took me weeks to get the whole completed. We are talking about a hole in 4 inch deep concrete and about 2 feet in diameter. I would drill several half in holes in the concrete with the hammer drill then pound away with the small sledge hammer. Weeks.
In the good ole days it would have been an hour or so in 1 afternoon. Really. So I can’t let too many days ‘get away’ now that there is a real plan forming up and we gonna be on our way to the life on the road.
We are having some really decent weather here – for a change – sunshine and even some warm with light winds. Almost like spring. But my work right now takes me into the basement. Gotta clean out the old crap and organize in preparation to putting some of our stuff away down there for the first season we are away.
Then – as long as the Daughter rents the house and we are welcome to hook up outside – we can slowly get rid of some of that stuff over time. As it is we need to get a lot thrown out or sold or moved so the Daughter can move in.
Hope You are having a great weekend where You are.

There are some Marketing Ads out there that tell You that You can make a lot of money doing surveys. I am not thinking so. I am thinking that most likely You can make a few bucks doing surveys and a lotta bucks signing up other people to do surveys as to get the info and such as to what to do for survey cashing in You have to pay money. Just my thought.
I am actually earning a bit of cash doing surveys – but I ain’t even gonna tell You who or where or how I am doing them. So there. Yup. Keeping the info to myownself. I can tell You it is honest work doing real surveys and cost nothing to do it. Pay is pennies to a few bucks per survey.
Spent the afternoon with the Wife yesterday – first taking her to an appointment and then a little playing of the slots – some quiet lunch at the buffet at the slot place – then playing a little more slots {Hollywood Slots Hotel & Raceway}. Then there was shopping before heading home. A great afternoon together. Too tired to do any writing once home. Sometime lately I did get another Article up on making Gift Baskets – check it out at GottaHaveIt!!!
Going out early tomorrow to ‘test the waters’ of trading the Empire Chrysler Town & Country for a truck. Doesn’t sound to glamorous but it is in preparation of towing a vehicle around the country and the Chrysler cannot be flat towed {4 wheels on the ground} – which is the way I am thinking I want to tow behind the Motor Home.
David Foley is going nuts over at Traffic Taxis giving away money and all sorts of other stuff – get on over there if You Surf at all.
Have the most wonderful of weekends. Take Care. ReV
What a busy week – so far. Seems like day after day new stuff comes up and gets added to what I gotta do. I hardly have either the time or energy to really think and write something half way meaningful here.
I had a spell early this morning. Not the kind that the witches and voodoo people put on You. The kind that I call ’spell’ when my chest hurts and I gotta drop nitro tabs to blow myself up and get over the chest pains. Up to pee and noticed my chest was tight and hurt. It didn’t get better or worse. My breath was cut a little short. And it was this ‘deep’ pain from way in the center of my chest that radiated outward.
So I lay back down and give my chest a few minutes to get back to ‘normal.’ That didn’t happen. So after about 5 minutes I took a nitro tab and placed it under my tongue. It had no effect. I also noticed that it did not dissolve very quickly – a sign that it is too old. So I helped it along by giving it a few chews and working the little pieces back under my tongue. Still not working. Waited about 10 minutes. No change in my chest.
So now is time for the next tab of nitro. I put it under my tongue and it didn’t dissolve very quickly again – as I suspected it would not – so chewed it a little and waited. It has been my experience that this non-dissolving issue does not mean the tab is bad – just that it works a little slower. Waited about 15 minutes and no change in my chest for the better or worse.
Now – I am supposed to do 1 tab and wait 5 minutes and then another tab and wait 5 minutes and if I still have pain it’s time to call 911. I don’t have none of that if it is obvious the tabs are a little old from being carried around for months and don’t work so fast. I know this because when I have used a ‘fresh’ tab it dissolved real quick.
I also know the nitro is working slow because it hasn’t yet ‘blown a hole out the top of my head.’ I get a terrible headache when using nitro. It is not a fun thing to do.
So since I am using ‘tired’ nitro I give myself 1 more chance to make it work. I take a 3rd tab and give it a little chew and within a minute or so I feel it working on putting a hole in the top of my head. The pain in my chest starts receding. I am very tired and I go to sleep.
Then today I am very tired for doing anything as my body has been put through the wringer.
The first thing I did today was order some new nitro. You are not supposed to keep it more than 3 months and I knew mine was about 6-8 months old and it seems it had been opened 1 time – which makes it get tired faster.
I think I got a new Article up today at GottaHaveIt – concerning some Writing Myths. Check it out!
Busy again tomorrow with out of town appointment for the Wife. Mebbe a little slot action thrown in afterward if I am feeling ‘ducky’ and the water is warm.

I know I have mentioned my disabilities in the past – one of them is a sort of social anxiety – dealing with other people – especially in groups. Today was a prime example – and there weren’t even groups! I had worn my poor little self out taking a Daughter to her prenatal appointment down the road. Of course – I got as much work and bill paying as possible completed before I left. When I got back to town I had to go to the Post Office and Pharmacy and Grocery and Vet and other Pharmacy and I only forgot one thing. Not too shabby.
But it did make me have to go back out. Just before I left I received an eMail about an inquiry I made to purchase a truck at a dealer about 30 miles away. The respondent nicely explained to me how I was mistaken about the vehicle in that it was ‘wholesale’ to other dealers only. Nay nay. All he had to do was go on the Internet at the same Page I was on and check and he would have noted that the truck in question was listed in the ‘pre-owned line’ and for sale to anyone. Just a quick check. Of course – there is a similar vehicle in the inventory that is listed as wholesale. But the problem is not on my end – I am reading from the Internet – the Pages being the same for everyone. He is reading from other papers that the dealer has – and they are confused – heheh. The point – I hate dealing with other people – especially when they are idiots. I know. Not good to call them that. But You catch my drift. I will go to the lot and get it straightened out – perhaps.
The 2nd issue today was with a counter girl that I have passed by at least once a week for years and never gotten beyond ‘Hi’ and ‘Have a nice day.’ Today I was gonna give her a chance at conversation. {I know it is my problem for not getting to know her because I gruffly chase people off all the time so they don’t talk to me – I have problems ! ! !} I was going to give her a chance to correct a sign up in the window of the building – there was a grammatical error she could fix and be a hero. I ’spelled out’ the problem to her and she proceeded to inform me of my error and that they had to do it that way due to state laws etc etc. Well. I wasn’t wrong and I stated my case correctly but she didn’t want to hear my case and assumed I was speaking of the content of the sign. Not so. And I had told her of the grammatical issue. She ‘didn’t get’ my statement. So I will never talk to her again – at least for a long time.
I got some work over the weekend and there is good FREE Stuff on that Page and a new eBook up over at Book It. Check them out!

If all else fails, take a nap.

Yesterday. I was miserable for most of the day. Falling down sick miserable. Dizzy and disoriented miserable. Zero energy miserable.
Eating didn’t help.
Resting didn’t help.
Working didn’t help – but did get some Surfing in.
It wasn’t until almost time to go to bed that I discovered my problem – I hadn’t taken my Morning Meds. It is my one huge pile of meds that I take to get me started each day.
And while I wait to go on insulin and such – and blood sugars running way high – I didn’t exactly know what it felt like to miss the meds. I knew what it felt like before – pain and fatigue and such. But now is different. I didn’t like it at all. Thought I was mebbe dying – literally.
It’s what happens if I get too distracted with stuff in the morning. It wasn’t nice people.
Today started the selling off of the collection of Firearms of the Empire. Fella came by to have a look and picked up one to take with him. He might be back. Someone else was sposed to come by or call – but did neither. Oh well.
Did manage to get a new Article up this morning at GottaHaveIt – some Baby Tips. Check it out!
I am almost back to my version of ‘normal’ and may get some work done now and over the weekend.
Have a good one. Take Care. ReV
Busy as all get out yesterday – then too tired and fed up to write. Just sat here Surfing.
The Wife was taken in for blood work in the morning then a quick nap and lunch – for both of us – then take the Wife in to her Disability Court hearing. So – on the one hand we finally got the government to agree that the Wife is disabled – but on the other hand that means the Wife is disabled – something You don’t wish on anybody. So her ‘award’ will start coming in a couple months – our finances will be a lot better – and we shouldn’t have any real trouble heading South for the Winter. We shall see how things go.
Wife and Daughter both had doctors appointments today – Daughter not doing so good – growing pains doc said. That’s a ‘big’ help. They went over the Wife’s blood work and decided she was mostly okay but they gonna have some CT Scans done. Fun fun fun. The Wife don’t like them sorta tests.
I did manage to hit the ground running today and got a new Article up at GottaHaveIt concerning Pericardial Mesothelioma. Good stuff with reference for other Cancer issues.
Tomorrow be taking the other Daughter in town to another PreNatal – she having them 2 a week still. I guess this til the ‘end.’ Is fun to be in touch with her progress – though.
Haven’t got any editing done on the eBook but only bout 6 pages to go – so won’t be long – and remember – it’s gonna be on the FREE Stuff Page. Soon. I promise.
