Better late than never

I guess I just haven't been in the mood to blog or haven't had anything to say. Maybe both. Jim is out in Oklahoma and I'm here in TN. Because of some business things going on he will be there about a month. He received a surprise when he got there...someone had tried to break into the locomotive. The windshield and the side window had been smashed. This and rain did mess up his plans. He also had to do a break job on the engine before he could operate. At least he is getting some time in. Sometime before Scott leaves for EWG in WA they need to take a quick trip to NE to check on a line there. They still have a few more lines they are looking at.

For some reason my creativity level is Nil. I just can't concentrate not only with scraping bu reading or anything else too. I have no idea why or even if it is the combination of meds I'm on. I had a bad bout with Mr Arthur Itu, at least I think it was that, as my knee joint in my right leg was acting up. I have had a terrible time moving around with it. If I sit I get the pain in my hip and when I get up ( if I can) my leg kills me. I had to break down and take my Mobic for the pain and whoopie I had a day and a half of almost no pain. I am dreading being told that I need a knee or even a hip replacement in the future. Ya know retirement isn't what it's made out to be. Ya just fall apart.

Did you ever stop to think about priorities? I think as a female that's all you think about. I know when I was younger and an active Mom and wife my husband or my son always came first. I always put my wants off and would see that they got what they wanted. Favorite presents were things like a dishwasher for Christmas, refrigerator for birthday and oh yes Mothers Day was a lawnmower. Just what every female wanted...nothing just for Me.The next round was Tractor trucks and dump trucks and Motorcycles. I used to think I was selfish for wanting something for Me. Something I really wanted. The only time I was able to do that was after my husband passed away and I was still working. I miss that, not working. I have really wanted to buy myself a scooter but time is back to the beginning as other things come first again. I don't see that scooter coming into my life unless I can sell that land in Crossville. It will be up to me for sure as there is no way anyone will say ya know Mom really deserves something she dreams about. It's all priorities and my dreams are never one. There I go being selfish again..but just wondered why it seems like my dreams don't come true. Oh well it was probably a foolish dream. It would have been cool though if the two men in my life could have got together and each been able to chip in and get it for me. Oh well dreaming again that's a thought neither would think of. Besides that really is a lot of money not like buying me a coat or a day at the spa. LOL which I wouldn't want anyway. Well the scooter I wanted sold out so I guess I'll be getting a lawn mower LOL right back where I started from.

Today is cloudy and rainy and the afternoon is being spent watching the tornado warnings on TV. Who knows maybe I can fight the doldrums and do some long overdue LO's for poor Terrell who I'm sure should give up on me.
