Off On Another Western Run

Well tomorrow morning I'm off to California and Arizona for a couple of weeks. I have all these great opportunities popping up on my trip, real treats. I'll get to spend a few days living it up in Los Angeles seeing the sites, and spending time with my sister. After a few days we'll load up her car and head to Sedona, Arizona. If you've never seen the red rocks of northern Arizona you're missing out. It's an awesome place! While there we'll visit her grandparents and weather permitting play some golf on a world class golf course. I'm sure I'll be just as bad there as I am here in Kerrville though! After a few days there, we'll make our way down to Phoenix for the Super Bowl. The friggin' Super Bowl! Now I'm not telling you all this to brag, just to show all the once in a lifetime things I'll get the chance to do.

While all this sounds great, I can't help but feel somewhat remorseful about going. I've spent the last 4+ months here at home taking my Dad back and forth to Doctors appointments, and helping with things, without ever leaving for more than a couple of days at a time. Everyone says that I need to get a little time away, but it scares me to death that something is going to happen while I'm gone. Had this chance come up two months ago, I probably wouldn't have gone, but things (health wise) seem much better. It'll still be tough for me to walk out the door tomorrow morning though. I'll be back in about 2 weeks, I think I just need to stop being such a worry wart.

Now for the real problem! I think Gus has separation anxiety. Anytime I leave the house, he freaks out, walks back and forth, and just bothers my Dad 'till I get back. How's he gonna' handle these two weeks without me. I ran to Lowe's earlier to grab a few things and in the time that I was gone, he jumped into my Dad's lap twice as if asking where the hell I was. It may just be a case of bad manners, but maybe not ;)!

So, since the last blog, not much has changed. I don't have a friggin' job (other than playing taxi and nurse) but I've got something in mind. I won't write about it yet, but when it happens I will. I don't wanna' talk about something, then not have it happen...

With everything that has happened in the last few months I've thought many times about opening up blogger and just typing away, getting some sort of release. Truthfully though, I don't want to share that stuff online. Just know things are going okay, and getting better we hope. I write that thinking that perhaps people still tune in to the blog, but it's been so long since I've posted that no one checks it anymore I'm sure. Well it's a bit of a fix for me!

That's it for now, no earth shaking, award winning news there, just a thought I'm struggling with right. I also wrote to point anyone who might be reading to a friend of mine (more like a little brother). He's spending a couple of months backpacking through New Zealand and updating his progress along the way! Travel writing is something that I enjoy, and having the personal connection to this one makes it that much more interesting. Mikey's Blog <--Click there!

Until Later Y'all
