We're pretty much over the hump now and almost ready to be thankful it's Thursday. How did this day turn out?

I had a very full day yesterday, so didn't get to post. Left the house at 7:15 to take Tim's drycleaning and laundry by the cleaners before getting to the nursing home at 8. They told us that's the time the transportation van would be there to take Dad to his urologist appt. At almost 9:15 the van finally showed up!! Dad's appt. was at 9. I tried to call ahead, but no answer. Fortunately, the dr. didn't have a lot of patients that day and it turned out not to be a problem.

My post got cut off, and it won't let me cut and paste that part, so I'm retyping it.


I had another slow start today, but went to the nursing home and saw Mom and Dad. We spent some time with him in PT, then I came back to the room so I could eat my Arby's Martha's Vineyard salad. Rob called while I was there and told me his date to leave for boot camp in Cape May, NJ,

I'm really in the mood for pancakes myself now!!


I had to drive over a really high bridge last night that usually doesn't bother me too much, but for some reason it did last night. I had to think myself through a mini panic attack. Bridges used to be a big problem for me. You can't tell a lot from this picture, but it's quite high with many high ramps snaking over and under each other. The way the bridge is constructed looks as though there's no sides at certain parts of it.

Good exercise, productive day, good food until I got home to discover a near-empty fridge.

I'm so glad you went to that show Rhonda.

I would not be able to drive over this! I'd be on the floor with eyes closed while someone else drove!

Are you OK if someone else drives? I've always been fine when others are driving, but for quite a while it really bothered me to drive over a large bridge. Because Jacksonville is built around the wide St. John's River, we have SEVEN major bridges to get from one side to the other. There are countless small ones since Florida is basically Swiss cheese with lakes and creeks everywhere. The longest bridge is the one near me. That was my biggest nemesis, even though it isn't very high. It is 3.1 miles long. Since they expanded it to 4 lanes on each side with emergency lanes on the right and left, it feels almost like a regular road and it doesn't bother me. Good thing, since I have to cross it twice when I go see Dad. I used to drive many miles out of the way to keep from having to drive over it.


The bridge I really hate is the Potomac River Bridge that takes you from VA to MD on Hwy. 301. It's very high, narrow, and steep.

For many years any place we went it was with Bill. I never drove off of Long Island alone. The first time was when Billy was a baby and I planned to meet Bill's mom for lunch at her job. Back then she worked and lived up in Westchester. I got in the car and when I hit the Throgs Neck bridge I remember that sweaty rush feeling coming over me..........I had to talk myself through or this case over it. Coming home was the same thing, but the next time I made the trip I was fine. Mind you I was a 24 year old mother at that point..........how pathetic was I? Now they do not bother me, even drove the Chesapeake Bay/Bridge but the one you just posted Rhonda that looks scarey.
