WBRepo-Ship of Thieves-Remember The Magic-Pt4

[edna mode]

Yes, folks another big gymnastics night!!!

There is, just once a year, a house tour in Oak Park through the homes.

The tickets are as scarce as hen's teeth and the competition for them is fierce.

Sukie and I once got on the tour and saw the inside of some of the Wright homes, which are incredible.

The rest of the year, there are walking tours where you just see the outsides.

And while I'm on an architectural kick, and promoting my city for the Olympics, I bring you the Marquette Building, and a great surprise, built in 1895:

Beautiful!

Well... it's still dark here!!! (I had to... I'm sorry...)

Thanks for the hugs Marilyn... most people forget that I have what I have... most days when it's bad I keep to myself. It just bothers people when they think I am being lazy. I can get out of bed and have to turn around and go right back and lay down - it's called TOS - Thoracic Outlet Syndrome and my nerves just got stuck in scar tissue so they hurt all the time... its like the feeling that you get when you hit your funny bone... except I have that all the time and along with it fibromialgia with all of it's aches and pains. Add to that a few migraines and I stubbed my toe the other day...

Mom forgets... I love her, but she forgets and gets mad at me cause I can't do very much when I get this way. It can last for hours or weeks... I can't tell anymore... my body stopped consulting me a long time ago about these things...

Amazingly... It didn't bother me on the ship... It did at WDW and DL... but not on the ship... oh well...

OUCH, OUCH, OUCH. OUCH!!:headache:

This is where I went yesterday...it's Auger Falls... I'll post my pictures tomorrow... I got much better pictures than the video... but it was full white water because of the major rain we've had lately... so almost no swimming... just got my feet wet and cooled down a bit...

OK, I wanna visit YOU too now! Very pretty area.

 

[HollyTyler]

Tinker Belle visited us! Ethan lost 2 teeth. Brooke was pissed!

2 teeth at once?! Holy cow, he must have been super excited!

 

[HollyTyler]

No one is ever around at these times. I'm going to knock on Marilyn's door

Did she answer?

 

[HollyTyler]

Wow! Nan & Gaylean are giddy with tag-happiness tonight Okay, way down inside I'm jealous!

Decided to pop in quick and skim thorugh these before I go write up yet another resume&cover letter for a job I'm 99.999% positive I don't have a chance, but its good practice.

I'll pop in again tomorrow - Good night folks!

Good luck Shannon! You might just be perfect for the job, think positive!

 

[HollyTyler]

Oh and Nan...

The Queen Mum and I are back on speaking terms....

You see... I'm in pain all the time from nerve damage in my neck and right arm... some days I cannot move... today was one of them. I spent the whole afternoon back in bed hoping the meds would kick in.

SHE got this brilliant idea that we should go home today instead of tomorrow (she's very much like my grandfather who used to change all the travel arrangements and announce to my grandmother she was going home even though she didn't want to...)

So... being IN the pain I was IN... I had to pack up the cabin, clean, pack the car, drive home and unpack the car.

I am still hurting and plan to spend most of tomorrow catching up or recovering...

She forgets that I am pain - most people around me do because I look just fine... but it's there every day in some form or another... It's 20 years this November that the car accident happened... I had 6 surgeries over 9 years... I manage it, but it's part of life... but she forgets that and gets mad at me when I have to take a break...

& we get into fights about it.

So... that's MY rant for the day...

Thank you very much...

You may now return to your gloating about being tagged...

Michelle, take care of yourself and get lots of rest. Wow, 6 surgeries in 9 years. Sorry to hear that.

No she didn't. I can't believe you were the only one to comment on these posts! Marilyn must have skimmed through again!

I'm so happy for you. It sounds like a "lovely" day!

Don't worry, I'm sure someone will come up with something! Maybe they can even make it in Panama or CC!

How is everyone?

 

[LuvBaloo]

Good morning everybody!

Amazingly... It didn't bother me on the ship... It did at WDW and DL... but not on the ship... oh well...

Must be your body loves the motion of the ocean! Ever try a water bed?

That's for sure....and you know kids don't mind the rain!

One of our best days in DL was back when Shaelyn was almost 4 and Kaleigh was only 10months. We went in October and a weekday with pouring rain off&on all day was completely dead in the park, but still warm to us. Shaelyn complained and complained at first, but she was wearing sandals with socks, once we got her to take the wet socks off she had a blast. There was no line ups, so while Kaleigh slept in the stroller, Ken & I took turns doing rides with Shaelyn.
