I have nursed my Hubby back from his open heart surgery, started working out at the gym, and am now in the process of house-hunting. My business is now kaput, having heard the death-knell of the new economic realities.
We have been out of the country twice, in September past we travelled to England to meet up with some friends, coincidentally just in time to catch the fall of the banking systems on CNN...from our $1,600 a night hotel room.
Okay, I gotta say it, rooms for disabled individuals SUCK! Look, not everyone has the same kinds of special needs, but how difficult would it be to make every (newly done) hotel room with a roll-in style shower? But by the Grace of God we all don't need them...yet. Let's face it, the things we can count on happening to us are; aging/getting old and dying. Hopefully the aging part comes first for the majority of us, but wouldn't you love to know you could still travel and be able to not get ripped off because you need one of the 1-6 rooms set up for disabled travelers? Just a thought.
We also took a two week cruise to Hawaii. Weather is everything on a cruise. Bad weather, you're just cooped up with a group of unhappy cruisers. Sun is out and moods improve. Not a difficult formula, but you never know what you'll get. We saw sun one our of 15 days. Bad cruise.
Now I am house hunting, having fired our architect for wasting a year and a half of our precious time. No way will I start the process again, then try to find somewhere to live while we spend two years going through the pains of building. So now I hope to find a suitable home for us. When this will happen, who knows?
Now we have a new President, and I feel like giving him a chance, even if I find him to be leaning a bit far in the socialist direction for the country. I don't know how much I'll be able to let this go without expounding more. Time will tell.
