Easier Drive Day



The sunshine was pouring in under the door frame when I woke up today. Like I said, it needs lots of TLC. Went down for breakfast-it was self-serve. Most items were in the fridge and the microwave was next to that. High carb breakfast. The coffee was good, though. Marie called Steve around 9. He was up and at'em but Neil was still in the sack. He'd gone out to see some friends after they got in. Steve was cleaning out Neil's car for him (interpret dad's standards higher than college student). The house has been staged for house hunters. Quite a bit of Miller personality has been put away. Whenever Steve & Neil are at the house, they "live" at the kitchen counter. Had a nice visit with Steve. Can still see his scar from brain surgery. He's back swimming and biking. Not running yet, as he still can't feel the left heel and calf. He doesn't want to do any permanent damage. He had his bike sent out to Napa and his Honda was just picked up by transport earlier this morning. He'll be getting a furnished apt. in Napa, since that's where he'll be working most in the next 6 months. His company prints the labels for the wine and spririts community. It was good to see Neil again, with his big smile. Off to lunch, but had to make a change, since OSU was having a spring game/tailgate party. Went out of town a bit to a BBQ place. Hugs and good-byes and we were off. Driving out 51 we found the bike tribute to Deb. I had to stop. Finally hit the highway today about 2:30. I headed north on I-35 to Wichita and Kansas City. Easy driving today. Didn't have to keep the steering wheel turned 1/4 turn to go straight down the road! Renee was updating my fb page with our location. Renee took over outside of KS City MO. I was trying to make a room reservation online so I could qualify for a $50 gas card. I kept zooming in so I could see what I was doing. Just about done, and I hit enter instead of just moving the cursor. Rats, had to enter it all again. Enter. Dang, I needed to check some check mark I could barely see. Ok, this time it saved the info and I checked the boxes. Now it timed out!!! I had a small meltdown so decided to call the 800 #. Not sure if the reservation had gone through or not. Not sure where the call center was, but it wasn't in MO or WI!. I had an awful time understanding and hearing her. As did she. Renee got the giggles and I couldn't hear nor talk. Ithink the call center was getting tired of me, as well. I looked up at one point and Bethany MO was only about 10 miles away. I was hoping to complete the reservation before we checked in! We both were laughing and hooting about it the rest of the way there. When we checked in, I said, I hope I only have 1 reservation! He had it. Time to drink the last 2 bottles of beer tonight!
