Three A.M. Thoughts

    Most of you  probably don't know that I have insomnia.  I am up every night from about Three a.m. for a couple hours.   It can be pretty lonely at that time... So, here I am blogging...
So, yesterday was pretty much one of the worst days possible.  My brother decided he wanted to take us to Jones Lake.  If you know me well, you know I have an aversion to steep hills and driving my vehicle on ANY thing that resembles a hill.  So, Jones Lake sounded like one of those parks that one drives to, parks in the parking lot and walks on flat land around a nice paved area....WRONG!  It was 7 kms of straight up hill, dirt road, no slide guard rails...not my idea of fun but I had to face my fear the whole time.  Worst than my phobia, My brother brought is puppy, a year old lab who is scared of driving--we thought he might be cured if he had a chance to hang out with us...but nope, it was pretty much a 70 pound mutt on me like Scooby Doo when he sees a ghost jumps into Shaggy's arms.  And this Scooby decided to lose his lunch not once, but TWICE!   Ugh...





     Besides Dogs Barfing, things seem to be getting better on my side of the mountain.  I just got the job of my dreams.  We bought a house by the ocean.  I am working a lot subbing and seem to be successful. I still have moments when I feel very sad about the things that have happened--But, at least things are looking up....I mean, besides the dog barf, of course.
