I had some trouble with the font I always use for my blog, and it still doesn't look right. What is so difficult that Blogger messes up the font so frequently. You can't imagine what I have to do to write this thing and keep the font consistent. Personally I feel that Google is just too big to handle all their many programs, email, etc.
I'm tired today and I didn't stay up all that late last night. We had a great dinner - corned beef and cabbage of course - and Donald brought some dynamite cupcakes that I think may have had a touch of Guinness in the recipe. Joe and Sarah showed us plans for the new pool they are having installed in a few weeks. They also have planned the landscaping around the back yard, the grill that will be built in, etc. It will be a gorgeous area for relaxing and entertaining.
I did my walk, went to the grocery for a few items, came home and ate lunch, and then hit the couch for a nap. I've done a little more trip planning but it seems that I'm no where near ready, and I don't know what to do next. I can't really start packing anything in the car until after I have the servicing done, and then I'm taking it to a good car wash. I noticed it is covered with a light film of pollen today, which may explain why I'm coughing and sneezing. With my front door open, I hear folks going by throughout the day doing the same coughing and sneezing and I know allergies will be getting worse by the day.
My tyvek is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so I will need to carefully measure it to the tent bottom - measure a bunch of times and cut once! If I screw it up there is always duct tape.
Thanks to NightSky for the encouraging news that I might be able to visit the SD Badlands in April after all. If the weather permits I would definitely like to do it, and I'll just make alternate plans in case I can't see the Badlands on the way to NY.
I need to try to salvage something of today but it's difficult to get the motivation to do anything. I'll try though.
- Short Post (updated)
When I think I'll just write a short post it sometimes turns into a long epistle. How about the title "Gypsy's Letter to the North Americans (bloggers, that is)". Also to the New Zealanders and whomever else my blog reaches....

I'm doing a little better but still lacking energy. My sister has had some medical problems and daughter Jeannie stayed overnight with her on Monday night, and asked me to come over to be with her for a while on Tuesday. I did and went...
- A Better Day
After yesterday's sweltering temps, we're back to a more tolerable upper 80's for today. Last night was wonderful sleeping weather - I keep the window open above my bed and love the breeze, although once in a while the curtains blow...
- Still Hangin' In There
I'm not coughing as much as I was, except at night. I find it so difficult to get decent sleep because of the coughing, plus the heater cycling on and off. I need to set the thermostat back - the only time I really need it is in the morning....
- A Quick Note
I came home today, still feeling like crap, but home is home and I hope to finally get a bit of sleep tonight, if not all that much rest. Being in a hospital on a machine that holds bags of various meds and fluids is really hard to deal with. I...
