Sigh



            I have been trying to get a really positive outlook about this entire thing but the truth is...... It sucks.


         Maybe I am just running on tired this week and can't seem to think clearly.  I look at the instructions for moving my entire journals over to the blog site and I have a headache.  

    Outside my window a doe quietly eats grass, no concerns about anyone ripping 3 years of her life out from under her.  She doesn't have to look at her pictures, all 3000 of them, and decide which to keep and which to let go.  She doesn't have to look in her archives for old entries she doesn't want to lose.

     What bothers me!  What if we do start all over and it is closed down in the new site.  Could happen, 

      Now I have 2 deer by the way.  Mother and fawn.  The little one is getting its first horns, so cute.  The coat has darkened for winder.  They look healthy this year.  Must be getting enough to eat.

     Anyway, back to my whine


      I will give it a try.  I probably won't go overboard again.  Learned my lesson.  I have photo's in several different places, hopefully they will stay open.  The reality...with the economy I guess I can't blame them.  Some places will go under.  But why did it have to be this place?

Blogging

   So, I hear we can migrate our journal to a new blog.  So to test it I started a new blog.  Frankly I don't care for it as well.  I don't like the photo's as well but I guess I will get used to it.  So I created a blog and I don't see a migrate button.  Hopefully they will tell us how to do that.

   I have had this journal for 3 years.  I am a paid AOL user because of my journal.  That is really the only reason I stayed with AOL.  So now I will be able to free up this money.  May be a good thing.  Because I certainly won't pay for them without being able to have my journal.  I can get the same things for nothing elsewhere.   I hope we all go to blogs.  I don't want to lose touch with everyone from here.  So as you all create your new blogs please let us know so I can add them to my newly created blog folder.  Hope to see you all there.

Julia's New Journal. 

Sad day

  Just hear AOL is closing us down.  All my journals will be lost if I can't figure out how to save them.  AFter all the work on my vacation journal.  Why is that.  This truly sucks.  So if anyone wants to help walk me through how to save the journals I love drop me a line.  This is sad.

I'll Live to ride again



       I thought this picture of Rick turned out so strange.  It looks like the type of fake background they use in portraits.  It is however the real thing,  He looks cute though.

      Had my doctor appointment.  Surprisenly my lung function isn't much worse then it was.  My lungs are just inflamed.   Get me back on my medication, and take like I am suppose to and I should be good to go.  I have to take a steroid inhaler for a month which doesn't make me happy but I do want to be breathing better.   He was very nice and didn't lecture me about going off my meds.  They say every patient does it at least once and usually one bad attack is all it takes to get them to be good little patients again.

    Now I am going back to bed.  My back is seriously out and I didn't sleep much because of the pain.  I want to try and get a few more hours in as I have to work tonight.  I am going to put my ten's unit on and sleep away.  So Night all.

Vacation journal

  I have added some new pictures to the vacation journal from the Tetons.  I want to go back.  Check out Yellowstone also.  I am slowly getting the journal finished.

   We just got back from eating and are going to watch a movie we rented.  Hope everyone is having a great day.  I am trying not to think about my stocks crashing loud enough to be heard in the most remote area of the world.  Who wants to retire anyway.  I have heard its overrated.

A Day off

    I am glad I made it to my day off.  It was a long weekend.  Work was busy and some family problems have surfaced that I need to take care of.  So a day off is welcome and much needed.

   Below are the sandhill cranes we saw.



   I see my asthma doctor tomorrow to see if I ruined my lungs forever.  I still can't take a deep breath without coughing.  Did get a ride in the the other day which went well that was good.

     My son as been doing weight watchers.  He looks great.  He has lost a lot of weight and is walking everyday.  I need to get motivated to do the same.  Just in a slump.  Everytime I get back into it my back goes out or something happens.  Excuses excuses but it wears you down.

    I am thinking of quiting the gym anyway.  The way our government is screwing everything up I figure we had all better hunker down and save every penny we can.  I think this is their way of getting the all world money passed they want in play.  This has all been orchestrated.  China and Japan are all for it.  Old Bush wanted.  This might be all just a step they created to get us there.  Our federal government has royally screwed up.  Scary times.  I learned to live within my means, why can't they?

   Well, its bedtime.  I am tired.  Take care all.

fall colors

   Soon it will be time to go out and get some new fall pictures.  I am thinking they will be really good this year.  For now I look at last years.











   Crisp leaves crackling under your bike tires.   Today under out feet.  Today we are going to walk one of our favorite bike trails so we can bring the dog and walk her.   She loves this type of weather.  The hot weather really bothers her and in her older age she prefers the AC but in the fall, she could walk all day.

   I got my hair cut short today.  Got me a Kathy Bates hairdo.  I liked the new haircut she is wearing and decided to take the plunge.  It looks pretty good.  Rick got his tooth fixed this morning so we are getting a late start but will be ready soon.

     My last day off.  Tomorrow work.  My back is still acting up so I want to take it easy today.  A nice lazy walk will be good for us all.
