traveling blues
Mood: melancholy
Listening to: the whirring of the computer fan
Once again we are faced with ANOTHER snowstorm....
It's getting to the point that by the time I realize it should be springtime, it will already be autumn. I am supposed to be planting seeds and getting things ready for my garden but I keep forgetting. I'm spending my time shoveling! This is the second year in a row I was supposed to plant my pansy seeds at the end of January and it's already March 11. *pooh*
Tomorrow, snowstorm or not, I have to drive my daughter to her psychopharmocologist. None of the meds he's been giving her are working. I wonder what he will suggest tomorrow. I'm beginning to think she only needs a little commando parenting like Dr. Phil suggests. Sure, take everything out of her room except her mattress. The only problem is, we have to share a room!! What about me! I love watching my tv while lying in bed at night (of course, the princess insists that I mute it and put on the captions so she can read) I do it because I think reading is very important but I'm feeling like a doormat that's had mud scraped on it. My dad's house is big enough so that I could have a great space in the attic but there's no heat up there and he's not comfortable with anyone sleeping up there because if there was a fire there is only one exit. Also, who would intercept my daughter when she wakes up with her night terrors and starts running around the room screaming . It's like a prison here. Even Martha Stewart gets more time out of her compound than I do.
So, I start thinking about traveling. So far I have traveled to: Washington D.c., Portland Maine, Montana, New Mexico, Florida......all by computer. I priced the train, bus, airfare and hotels for four. I looked at all of the museums nearby and toured the beautiful hotels and then, with a click of the mouse, close the box because I know it's unaffordable. Still, it was a nice night out and I educated myself about each city and area. Oh well.
