St. Patrick's Day ramblings

They say if the world slowed down or stopped spinning we would all be flung into space. If that is true then I'm stuck like glue to this rock called earth. At the risk of giving away my age let me put it this way. My world has been moving like a 33rpm album playing at 78rpms. And yes, before you ask, I have owned albums that play at both 33 and 78!

In the past month and a half I have been to Bowling Green, Kentucky (twice); Bowling Green, Ohio (twice); Louisville, Kentucky, Waddy/Peytona, Kentucky, Frankfort, Kentucky, Wilmore, Kentucky (eight times) and Ft. Worth, Texas! I drove every trip! To be honest I love to drive and my friends will tell you I even have control issues when it comes to driving. But holy cow! That's a lot of driving in a short period of time. Of course it did put more miles on the car which helps me to reach 100,000 miles sooner. After all, the sooner I reach that magic number the sooner I will get a new automobile! Only 6,000 more miles to go! I can't wait to get my new red Toyota Highlander!

Anyway, all this to say, I'm pooped! To make matters worse, I'm getting the old lady syndrome of not being able to sleep late. No matter how tired I am or how late I go to bed I don't seem to be able to sleep past 7am. I also find myself being cold all the time. I used to not wear a coat and used to be hot all the time. Now, I can't seem to keep warm and I almost always wear a coat or jacket when I leave the house. I used to think that only "old" people had these problems. Now I have them!! And I'm not old! I realize of course that's all in the eyes of the beholder and that "old age" is a very relative thing. After all, 60 is looking younger and younger.

Well, that's enough blarney for today!
