Gray Matter Edition
I think it has helped to dump my thoughts here… well at least the couple I have but my head is full of stuff.
We leave in 2 days heading to Florida. We are both dreading the heat and I am dreading the long ride with Hub..lol. Since he will be hauling back my boat across the southern part of the country in the heat he will worrying about the tires and whatever else can go wrong. Which thank goodness because when I have hauled things, I drive as if nothing can go wrong.
Driving to FL is no big deal its just after that.
I wish we were not both in such a hurry to get back west because we do have property in Fl with a beautiful ocean view and a perfect bay for sailing. Gah, I have a Geo Dome home sitting in the garage that I always intended to put up on that property… sigh, maybe some day but I like the dry air out west so I doubt we will ever live in humid Fl like we always intended to.
Scooping up on good deals on property was something I wanted to do but Hub held me back in the early years… later I guess I turned bitch because he always did what he wanted to but he held me back. Finally he had a change of heart and now he is very happy with we ended up with and I have heard him bragging to his friends how I have bought all our houses and property sight unseen and everyone of them turned out better than ever. We never even wanted to visit Cali but somehow I hooked up with a lady that held a lot of real estate but was needing money. My first buy was 20 acres in N. Cali we never seen it but and it is the only piece that was ever sold and the people that bought it love it and we talk to them often so we get to hear the love.
Then I bought the place we live in now.. omg.. hub thought I was crazy and our first trip there is when the "Super Virus" got me. After that my balloon business was run out of there and then hub just wanted to sell it so off we went to Cali to get it ready for sale and he fell in love with it. So much so that we both gave up our wants of living a boating life in FL. He loves our little place so much now.. I am glad it all worked out because we were getting so used to living apart at one point that I thought I would end up there by myself…I was no way ever going to sell it, I just let him think that it was ok. I would have rented it.
It was nice having jobs that allowed us to travel and still work, I was held back more than him but still.. I had a lot of freedom.
It will be good to see daughter 3.
Yesterday was a big day, our 7 year old turned 8 so of course it was like a national holiday. LOL tho she didn’t start her celebration until 8:32am the time of her birth. I love kids and could spend all my time with them. Fuck the adults, they bore me.. kids are fully of happy and crazy ideas. Just like me.
It has been a good summer and by the time we get home we will have traveled just between 8 and 10 thousands miles.. whew, I have not figured it all out yet but a LOT.
For a month now I have had swollen glands, neck and head ache.. yesterday I was tested for west nile.. omg..I am sure it will be neg but geez, it would be just my luck to get that or wretched lime desease.
What a rambling mess.. but it is the stuff that was afloat in my gray matter.
gray matters! I drew art work on that. Not going to tell you what it is cause you will steal it and sell it. but Gray Matters! and so do you xxxx

I’d love to travel… someday hopefully. I’ve never owned a boat, I don’t even think I’ve owned a toy boat, lol. But I have been privileged to go out on a few boats and (minus choppy seas) it’s quite the wonderful experience. I hope it’s not West Nile, but here in FL… you never know, then again… this is an allergy nightmare state.
