my first day since we got home I haven't napped.

changed sheets. baked banana bread. Rip to groom. donated books to a Little Library. bought pumpkins. and groceries. my waling goal moved up into 7000s again. I've hit 10000 today. getting my mojo back.

home from our epic Alaska cruise.

we were on THAT boat...the one with mechanical issues that couldn't hold speed. lost 2 ports. 50% refund. spent a lot of time whale watching on balcony: humpbacks and orcas. and the sunsets and sunrises. Chiefs game up top on big screen tv. I wanted to jacuzzi but too cold for me. wore that mother of the bride dress I couldn't zip two years ago to afternoon tea and made 2 friends. rode a historic train into Canada, went to a pioneer cemetery, walked to a waterfall in Skagway. Fisherman's Wharf and historic buildings and gardens in Victoria, Canada. watched a lot of The Love Boat episodes. went to Archie McPhee's in Seattle! got sick last day. quit taking my meds, reflux kicked in. started meds again last night, think I'm ok today. had to cut my WalkFit as low as I could, still couldn't hit goal 2 days. hit the low 6800 yesterday. will hang there a week or so then take it back up.

I definitely overpacked. took notes for next big trip.

there are ghosts everywhere and most people never see them.....(I am most people. )

downloaded camera card....the Virginia City pics are GOOD if I must say so myself. the ones going down the road...nope.

errands. found my missing wedding ring....it was at the bottom of the bed where I tuck in the sheet.

Kevin mowed our yard, I visited the girls and did some weedeating.

Kevin found COYOTE v. ACME at Chillicothe, so away we went.

Wile E Coyote is my all time favorite Looney Tune. after the movie I asked Kevin who his favorite Looney Tune was. guess what? he doesn't have one. hmmm. realized when I got up I'd 'lost' my wedding ring (again). usually it's in the sheets where I took it off to put on my bedtime lotion. didn't find it. shook sheets. looked on floor and under bed. dunno. will strip bed and see if I find it. idk.

tonight I bought 1 ticket to Shaun Cassidy in Des Moines in November. It's a Sunday night. Kevin has to work the next day and is not a Shaun Cassidy fan. I don't like to drive at night, but by jolly, I think junior high deb would greatly encourage me to be brave and just do it. and so I shall. it will be my first solo concert. there was a floor seat pretty close to stage that is a single. and I will be a single....so. destiny.

had a wonderful week visiting my friend Tracy. They picked me up at Phoenix airport, we headed straight to Las Vegas where I got my first tattoo....a tiny little ghost. Virginia City: Mackay Mansion. The Washoe Club. old fashioned pictures. the sunsets and sunrises over the mountains were breathtaking. wild horses, pigs, and donkeys. We visited Donners Pass. Winchester Mystery House and Alcatraz. It was my first trip to California. We got take out from a Taco Bell 3.5 miles from Grandma & Grandpa's house, I put the address in my phone maps just out of curiosity. On the way back to Phoenix to catch my plane, visited an alien themed jerky store and The World's Tallest Thermometer.

well, as to be expected, I have gotten bored putting my FB memories on here....so.

last day before Tracy trip. working on to-do list. convincing myself I. am. on. it. today.
