OFF AND RUNNING -- AGAIN
After some time in the office tomorrow (Tuesday), I'm off to northwest Indiana for work Wednesday and Thursday. They will bring my rental car to the office in the morning. I wonder what I'll get this time! If I like it, I'll just keep it for my weekend trip. They will just close it out on the company card and re-do it on my personal card. If I don't like it I'll lobby for something else.
We leave Friday morning for Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to attend the first of two University of Alabama football games we will attend this season. I'm looking forward to the trip. I'm looking forward to my other trips, too. I have a couple of friends I knew in their college days that I want to visit. One trip is already set--the first week in October--to North Carolina. I may take a weekend trip west, too.
I appreciate all the prayers I know many of you offer on my behalf. All the insurance "stuff" is worked out and I invested a bit today, both to get the interest and to get it out of my reach so I won't be tempted to do anything foolish with it! :) I'm doing okay but there times it is really hard without my mate of almost 38 years. Today as I thought about all the changes that yet need to be made, for some reason I felt scared for awhile. Fortunately, I didn't dwell on it and the feeling went away. It's just sort of "scary" not knowing what the future is going to be like. I really felt the need to talk to someone. I was able to talk to a friend of mine by cell phone and talking to him a bit helped. Sometimes I just need to verbalize in order to process things. My problem is that I'm usually too proud to call someone. I'm afraid I'll be bothering them or something.
