Last night we took Sammy, the kids, Sammy’s girlfriend and two of Sammy’s friends out to a Japanese Steakhouse and bowling. Today we said goodbye to Sammy for a year, as he’s off to Afghanistan. Very sad. We don’t want him to go, we didn’t want him to join the Army National Guard… but this is what he wants.
I arrived late Tuesday night. Flying wasn’t bad, my ear hurt a little but nothing major. Still having ear pain/headaches and have another doctor appointment today. Fun! I slept almost all of Wednesday and came back to work yesterday. What a nightmare that was!
There are loads of PCs and 5 minutes in the door I had someone come in looking for her computer. I had no idea where it was, who she was or if it was done. It was NOT done and I repeatedly told her I just got in (been gone 2 weeks), etc. I also received phone calls about the same. I ended the day with a massive sinus headache but I now have my bearings at work and things seem to be going more smoothly today.
Be sure to check out the mega pic gallery posted below. Lots of my family. Separately I am posting the group photo, which is sadly the best shot we got. What crappy cameras. Karen and I are fighting for the shortest of the family; I’m winning by 1/4 of an inch, at least!
I’ve had jaw/ear pain since about a day after arriving in New England. I’ve ignored it for about a week, but decided yesterday I couldn’t take it anymore. I found a great clinic inside a local pharmacy chain that was able to see me right away (for cheap) and diagnosed me with an ear infection.
I’ve been up most of the night with ear pain and hoping the medicine starts working soon. I fly again Tuesday night and I’m a little afraid. Driving down from Vermont hurt, swimming hurt, etc. Flying ought to be loads of fun.
I’ve been posting more photos on the link below. More will go up soon. I’m still having fun/adventures, but I’ve be pretty quiet the last few days due to just feeling crummy!
We are having a great time! Lots to tell, but it’s late and I happen to not be feeling well either. Tomorrow is the tour of Ben & Jerry’s, shopping and then more swimming in the river!
See photos here!
My lightbox isn’t working right with this new layout. Sorry.
Vegas was fun. I lost my voice on the way there (had a cold the week leading up) and it was gone the entire time. In fact, it’s still gone! I don’t feel very well either. Still hoping that being home and resting some will help.
We mostly just walked from one end to the other, staying inside the casinos so we didn’t have to walk in the heat too much. I lost 5 lbs on this trip! It was like we were on a mission, “one more hotel” and we couldn’t stop! I saw all hotels except the four old ones way on the end (which you can’t walk to). Maybe next time.
On the 2nd day, I realized we hit the restroom in every hotel. As soon as we entered we would start scouting for one. Not, necessarily to pee, but always to wash our hands. It was 107F while we were there, so we felt pretty gross from that and touching handrails, etc… ugh, must wash hands! So anyway, that’s when I purposed that we get a pic of us in every one. We took turns and with the exception of the first few hotels we toured, we have a photo of all bathrooms on the main strip. Weird? A little. Fun? Heck yes.
