You're right, Tracy, there is a new ticker! Not sure if it will really happen, but it makes me smile knowing it's there!
I actually put a deposit on this very soon after our cruise last summer. No harm since totally refundable until mid-May. Then my DBil in FL started bugging me about 'where are WE going on a cruise this summer?' as they went with us for the 1st time last year. Rates dropped & my DSis booked and her oldest DD & family booked. So, I talked to DH who finally relented & said I could put a deposit & "we'll see".
Ok ....to continue.....had to take DS19 to the bus.....
So, in addition, I booked air on SW!! (Sure hope we end up going, or I have a LOT of credit to spend in the next year!! lol!!)
So the plan is that I will leave here on 7/14, ALONE, on the train. Arrive in FL on 7/17 & spend a week with my DSis. DH, DD & DS19 fly in to Tampa on 7/24, we shop 7/24 & 7/25. 7/26 we get up EARLY & drive to Ft. Lauderdale for cruise, then fly home right after the cruise from Ft. Lauderdale on 8/1. We'll see if it happens. But, since I booked the total price for the 2 rooms has dropped by almost $700....enough for the airfare!
Off to see what DD needs.....back later.....
Back again. DD is really no better. Made it to school part of Monday & part of Tues & today can't get out of bed. Still trying to find a GI dr who will see her. And, Monday night we were able to feel a squishy lump right at her incision from her first hernia surgery. I think it is rupturing or she tore scar tissue. And, the one test we haven't done is the only one that would likely show....and MRI. I'm getting SO TIRED of this!!!!!! And, her work (DQ) is threatening to fire her if she doesn't show up this Friday even though we have turned in Drs notes. I need some more stress....ya think?????
Just scheduled my mammogram......26th at 9:20......let the worrying begin. UGH!!!!
On other news, I am going to grade exams for Pearson for 10 weeks beginning March 9. I was going to do the full time....7:45 - 4:15, but I really think I would go crazy sitting for that long. I'm just not a sitter. So, I opted for the 6 - 10 p.m. group. Pays more, but not as many hours. But, I will still be able to do my normal daytime stuff, do Dr appts, have my April Garage Sale, etc.
Off to do an exercise DVD. Yesterday I did the 2 mile WATP Closer Walk Christian Walk. And then did Jillian Michaels Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism....that one nearly killed me!! Not sure what I will draw out to do today, but I'm way behind my exercise for the month & won't leave DD to go to the gym. Plus, seems I'm always waiting for a Dr. to call & don't want to miss them.
Off to get some things done.....
