    a 7 hour drive in the USA would equate to about double that in the Uk due to our very narrow roads , motorways and massive traffic on this small island... .. it's a long drive.. even at 7 hours..

    Yep, it all depends on the road.

    I live only 57 miles from Yosemite National Park but part of the drive is very slow moving...takes almost 2 hrs at least.

    The Peak... I am alive and healthy in mind and body. The Pit or Pits are becoming many-depending on how I look at the situation.
    My daughter is depressed and having issues with her Other and the pre teen child. Nothing I can do about any of this, but as a mother still gets to me at times.
    My area of Texas has had more rain than it needs for a couple of futuresummers.The news is of course a joke,a disgrace and makes me want to stab someone in the eye ...I am laughing here:). Read today how Mcconnell wants to cut all of SS Medicare and Medicaid. Great, just great.. My hubby is driving me nuts with his constant sighing, complaints of pain( yes they are real) . His jealousy of my not working, has I feared turned to resentment.
    I am pouring out me heart here judge me lightly please. The bottom line is , it does not matter when he retires- it will never ever be enough money,and even if it was- at some point it won't be. Physically he is shot, and I know he is worn out. He does understand, and will try for part time work somewhere, just not in a freezing meat market. I filed it for him this morning his SS ;)The list goes on, but will not overburden or bore with my trivial issues.
    The other thing, is several of family and he have been on my case to do something, anything I need to get out more they say. I AM just fine thank you, y'all are the ones with the problems. Perhaps I am enjoying not answering to anyone, doing my own thing too much?
    Anywho, these are just a few of the thing on my mind today. Am sure it will all work out, in the meantime drives me a bit bonkers.
    I feel ashamed to even mention as there are those who have real issues ... but i do feel a tad better thank you :cool:

    Peak: finally got my hair cut and highlighted and some lowlights. Not perfect but I let it go too long. :(

    Front is more one shade of blonde and cut shorter to frame face when I clip it up which I always do.

    Still look s long but I had more than 2 inches trimmed!!! Think I should have gone a tad shorter.

    Well, it's a lot better than it was that's for sure.

    I may get a couple more inches cut when I get home...super cuts or something ...no big deal.

    Thanks @Yvonne Smith!


    Also wanted to mention as my Peak that I'm doing much better now.....don't know if it was the change of scenery, my lack of physical symptoms or issues or just a tad busier but I'm very hungry, lol....

    I'm sleeping much much better too. I also don't need to take my anti anxiety med....yay.

    I'm still alone while grandson is in school but whatever scares me in Fresno isn't present here.

    I do miss Curves though..not just the exercise but the ladies.

    Peak: Finally finished 'to do list' for our trip next month to WDW.
    Set up final dinner reservations, SUV transportation from the airport, etc.
    More little things to remember and do than I thought.

    I am a complusive planner. PROMISED the wife I'd go easy this time on overplanning!
    We booked this trip in January of this year, so you know I'm ready for it to start.

    Pit: What I have in the stomach about my team's game today. We need that first win to set the ship right...

    The pit of my day would be trying to understand why people say "I know they were going to say something." and get and keep an attitude about it when the 'something' was never said.

    The peak of my day was finding on clearance Live Forevers at Lowe's for $1.50 each.[​IMG]

    Pit: my internet has been out most of the day, finally called them ...this will be the 3rd time in just a few months and they're coming out tomorrow ....told them it was their last chance....switching companies next.

    Peak: wished my daughter's childhood best friend a happy birthday yesterday on Facebook and this was what she replied this morning....

    IMG_2727.JPG

    She is also very successful in life...and a wonderful kind person. I must have a gene that makes me a good mom even to kids that aren't mine. :)

    Her dad was an alcoholic...her two other siblings didn't turn out s well as she did. :(

    She has 5 kids...the oldest are the same age as my oldest grandson...triplets!

    They are all in colllege too....younger two are still in HS and a daughter in grade school.

    She lives in Arizona.

    I finally have both a pit and a peak to report here. :D

    Pit: Woke up with stomach flu this morning. Didn't accomplish anything so far. I'm giving it one day, or else.

    Peak: Two really nice young girls, early 20's, came to the door to ask me if I needed a ride to the polls.
