Farewell To A Friend

Today, I learned that the one constant companion I had in the home has found a new place to live. Next to losing my Mom, this is probably one of the saddest days of my life. And, that takes alot because I'm usually very cheerful. I don't even like to write sad blogs, but, this one couldn't be helped. Nick, I know I moved out of the house. That doesn't stop the fact that I love you and I hope you find your way back home to me some day.

I also need to ask all of my blog readers for another favor. My best friend's little cousin is in really bad shape in a hospital in Chicago. He needs all the thoughts and prayers available right now. At last word, he is on life support diagnosed with pneumonia.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully, I won't have to do this again.

Vacation Plans

This past weekend, I got together with Dot and Robin to plan our vacation. The three of us are going on an 11 day road trip. Highlights will include Chicago, Mount Rushmore, Seattle, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and San Jose. We planned our days in Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area. We're going to do so much and see so many new things. For me personally, this will be my first time to be in a boat. I've been in tracked boats such as the ones used in Disney's Small World attraction, but, I've never been on an actual free sailing craft.
I'm so excited. I'll be picking Robin up on the 11th and bringing her to Bloomington. Dot will be working until about 5:30 and then we're taking early on the morning of the 12th to try and get to Chicago before noon. My blogs will be my travel journal so keep reading.

My Poor Car!!

Yesterday, my car broke down on me as I was driving home from Terre Haute. I was only 10 miles from my apartment. So, as soon as my laundry's done this morning, I get to find some place that can fix an electrical problem. Most likely, I have loose battery cables or a bad alternator. Either way, it will be fixed because that car has to get my girlfriend, my best friend and I to California and back next month. That will be a much happier blog entry.
