Good Afternoon;
Well I WOKE up to rain this morning...but I GOT up to sunshine.....thank goodness!
I was awakened about 4:00 am. this morning by a brief but intense rainstorm, it was again raining so hard that I could not even get out of the shed to use the 'afterhours facilities' and had to use the 'secondary emergency backup device'....lol.
After I left here yesterday I stopped at Jilly's and treated myself to lunch and a drinkand chatted with Scott, the owner for a while. I then took the buses over to the Starbucks and did some reading, and had a Vanilla Bean Frappuchino... oy.......my quarter annual dairy overload! Dave from Whole Foods prepared foods kitchen came in and we got into a discussion about the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, and how so many people quote portions, lines, phrases, and even single words way out of context and the original meanings based on the time period they were written in, trying to support their political agendas. Later I wandered over to the Whole Foods and ended up standing and talking to Ian in the fish dept. about the same thing, but this time in reference to religions and the varying scriptures and interpretations based on situational ethics. We talked about the documentary movie "Jesus Camp", a very scary look at the evangelical extremists in our midst and their techniques, it deserves a viewing if you get the chance. (I've put in a request for transfer from the Cockeysville branch of the Baltimore County Public Library system...they only have the 1 copy so I'll let you know when I am about to return it, if any of the local loyal readers want to check it out.)
It's funny, the two subjects I usually avoid discussing, with MOST people, both in the same evening...lol. (Well it saved me from ending up buying anything from the overpriced bakery....lol! [To tell the truth, some of their cakes and confections look awesomely delicious, but taste...ehhh, so-so..particularly a Vanilla Buttercream and Raspberry Iced and Filled Yellow Cake....at $3.99 a slice, big enough for two, it was not worth it, the icing tasted like, and had a 'mouth-feel' of shortening rather than butter...ehhh]..).
I walked over and met Jenn after her meeting and we wandered the Giant and talked as she did her usual Mondat night shopping. They are going to Dover Delaware with the kids this week end to visit Granma Dee..(my mother)..and wanted to take Rachel too, but she has plans to go the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival at the Howard County Fairgrounds, (Rachel makes and spins her own yarn...with help of course...form both sheep and alpaca wool, and this is a yearly treat for her).
I am pet sitting for Jenn this weekend, so Rachel is going to spend Friday and Friday night with me and we can cook breakfast together Saturday morning, and her mother will pick her up on Saturday morning....so that will give us some daddy-daughter time.
(And you can be damn sure I wasn't going to Delaware anyway.....60 miles and 2 different states is plenty close enough for my mother and I!....LOL...{not!}..)
This morning I met with Liz and we reviewed all the statuses..(stati?..lol)..of the applications I have in and we also found out that my old doctor, with whom I was very satisfied, accepts all the MCOs of Health Choice, Maryland's Medical Assistance setup...except of course JAI which is self contained... now I have to figure out which one suits my situation, in regards to location of specialists and hospital priveleges etc., and how to switch. Afterwards I went to Monkee's and wished her a Happy Birthday and we talked for an hour or so. I got my meds for the next week and paid her. I went to the dollar store and purchased some d-batteries and Giant and grabbed some food for later...and here I am.
I am pretty much over the "post-insert=(event, occasion, happening, person)" blues I had yesterday, from all the excitement of the weekend. It is the feeling of letdown you get the day after Christmas or your Birthday, or the first day home form a vacation, when you realize nothing has changed permanently...sssiiiggghhhhh!
Ah Well......................this too shall pass.
Okay I am out of time and I'm heading to the coffee shop for a couple hours.
later.......................Dave
