Trying not to whine...

I am trying not to be a whiner...but I am still in pain!  It kind of reminded me of just before I went to the 2012 Chili Cook-Off last year and had to pack and re-pack my car several times in order to get all the important things that one needs to spend 10 to 12 days in the desert.  http://terlinguadreams.blogspot.com/2012/10/down-to-wire.html

Inevitably,  I wound up hurting my back and having to wear my back brace :-(

Hope I can take Terlita this year (my camping van) and skip setting up my tent and having to pound 16 stakes into solid rock!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Up Early

Gee, I can hardly believe it is already October 3^rd…where has the time gone?  Three days have gone by and I have not even made a post.  It is not that I have nothing to write about but more to do with the fact that my back has been hurting from all the boxes I have been moving around and the leaking tub fixture that has me busy hauling water.  I thus have been going to bed early.

Last night (Tuesday) I went to bed after the evening news but woke up at 2:13 a.m. when I heard the water overflowing.  Got up to fill more water jugs and then could not go back to sleep.  At 4:00 a.m. decided to just get up.  It reminded of Ben in Texas who used to wake up at ungodly hours of the night.

I need to run so many errands today so I can concentrate on what is really important…Yes, you guess it…I have not even started gathering the data for my income tax return and the October 15^th deadline is fast approaching.

I know, I know…I said last year that I would not subject myself to this last minute torture but on the positive side at least I did not wait until the weekend before to even get started.  I have called the CPA and he is aware I will be coming in to his office any day now.  When exactly will be that day?  Well, I can’t answer that yet (sigh)!

I cannot wish you Terlingua Dreams as it is already morning but do hope you all have a great day.
