What? Another post so soon? I ended up coming home from work as soon as I got there - really shouldn't have gone but didn't realize until it was too late to do so that I had woken up with a back spasm. I'm sure it's related to the low pressure system which has been dumping us with rain, wind and fog for over a week now and causing 'my rheumatics' as the old people used to say to act up. I stopped on the way home at a friend's and borrowed the good drugs as that was better than waiting for the drugstore to open. Crashed for a nap and felt MUCH better when I was awakened by the shore captain provisioning himself with lunch. I called to the specialist to see where I am on the list (there is hope) and put myself on a cancellation list for the local physio either today or tomorrow where I've been exercising masochist tendencies by letting them do myofascial release on my back which as the Dr. stated "will fix this but you won't like it" that being an understatement! It is a great relief this evening to not have to stand like an orangutang. I am looking forward to tomorrow being a better day but if not here is the quote of the day sent by a long suffering friend:
Life is not the way it's supposed to be.. It's the way it is.
The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Now since I had more time on my hands today than anticipated what with no work and part one of the course completed (I gained one mark for my assignments so ended with a mark of 79% which if I were younger would have me saying that it's so close to an 80 but in reality is just a relief that it's over), I was able to check out the travel sites and discovered this helpful link for those of us planning that around the world trip. Of the two styles listed suffice to say that the shore captain and myself are one of each and I WAS a Girl Guide so you can take it from there.
Of course travel can be related to this travel writer's site which is aptly named:
When I mentioned that the baby daughter usually arrived with a Honda Civic full of dirty clothes to be washed and I was thrilled that the teacher daughter had bought a house with washer and dryer...a friend mentioned that her daughter-in-law had discouraged her son from the car full of laundry arrival as she said "it makes us look like hobos" I am assuming the non professional variety, you know the ones with their clothes tied in a handkerchief on the end of a stick over the shoulder.
Speaking of the youngest offspring who enjoys all things organizational and crafty I shall post a link which has her written all over it:
And to think her grandmother was an expert at repurposing eh?
After all the talk of a journey, we spent a few minutes looking over the possibility of a get away in the fall - which would have to be carefully organized in between exam, clinical and work. There are many possibilities and the dreaming is a large part of the fun.Airfare prices will be the challenge. The link here is for photography in foreign lands. Ahh to dream:
And right now the shortcut is to bed. Night all.
