I had planned a little trip the second week of May, but that did not transpire. I was going to pop on down to Hutchinson and see the sisters and friends and then off to Longton to check on the daughter and her family and then out to West Plains, Missouri to see what old Vi is up to, and finish it off in Kansas City. From there I follow I 70 back to home. But I calculated the gas for that little jaunt and had a second thought that beat hell out of that first thought. Now my little Ford gets very good gas mileage, but $350 seemed a bit out of reason. That is without ever spending a night in a motel, eating a meal between visits, or, God forbid, car trouble.
So I opted to stay home. I decided that since I did not go on vacation, I would do some of the things I had been putting off for tomorrow. You know, like clean that wretched closet, dig out the tin shed, do a little landscaping. I reasoned that since I did not go on vacation and I planned to that this was free time and would be designated as such. If I were on vacation I could not be home and since I was not home I would be thinking what I could do if I were, so since I was home I would do what I thought I would do if I were not here! I hope you agree with me there!
But alas! The best laid plans always go awry. The closet sets exactly as it was on May 1 with the exception that one of the overburdened shelves in my lotion making storage closet collapsed. A bottle of Peppermint oil managed to break it's lid on the way down. Result of that is that I am constantly craving a mint! Just glad it was the Peppermint and not the Patchouli!
Oh, and somewhere along the line I misplace 2 sets of keys and a jacket. The first set holds a car key, and a friends house key. The second set holds my wedding ring, lock box key, my bedroom closet key, post office box key, and something else that I forgot. I strongly suspect that when I find one jacket I will find all the stuff that is in the pockets. Today I will go get another car key made so that should bring me closer to finding the whole mess.
I think gas may have come down 3 or 4 cents. If that happens I may get to go somewhere. Granted it will be an abbreviated trip, but a trip none the less. But for now, I will be meeting a friend for breakfast this morning and then back home then this afternoon another friend needs a ride to the cancer center and life goes on. I need you all to send me good thoughts on those keys and I think I can find them. In the meantime it shall remain another bump in my little trip up that yellow brick road!
Have a good day! And remember to smile, it makes people wonder what you have been up to!
