Neglecting my blog...

Dateline - Joplin, MO - I have really hit the bottom... Here I am in the center of the country and I have nothing to do. Go figure. And I am so devoid of things to do, that I am writting in my blog...lol

Actually, I think I have just been so boring lately that I haven't had much to write about.

Of course, just because things are boring doesn't mean crazy things haven't been happening. On my way here on Monday, I stopped at a gas station in the morning to fill up and then head back to shower and pack to head to the airport.

Only 1 problem. After I fill up, I can't get the car to go into gear. I end up calling Julie. She comes to the gas station. I feel like a moron because my car is still at the pump taking up space. I had just called the tow truck to take the car to the dealership when she jumps in, and it goes into gear.

Figuring it was just a freak thing, I call to cancel the tow truck and head home. I get there, turn off the car and try to get it into drive again. No luck :(

Julie ends up taking me to the airport. Later in the week, she gets in once again, it goes automatically into gear (she must have "the touch") and drives it to the dealership where it only costs $150. I am relieved that it doesn't cost more.

Later on in the week, my pool service employee calls and the "Super Trooper" (as I call the pool service vehicle) says the truck has broke down. That experience doesn't turn out so well. Engine is blown. I will have to deal with that when I return.

Looking forward to heading home on Friday. Got a bunch of things to do, but none more than reviewing the job opportunities I have emailed to myself during the week.

Next week doesn't look like a fun beginning. I am in Syracuse.

On the other hand, Julie and I are heading down to Florida for a few days of well deserved rest.
