Day 91: A Great WEATHER day......but,......

Oh yeah....this was another wonderful day here in New Orleans(Kenner)!!! We just sort of lounged around, sipping Fr. Roast and hot tea....and enjoying sitting outside under the awning, reading the Sunday NO paper.

Around noon we left to help Jay purchase a new LCD/Plasma tv.....whichever he liked the best. It was an entire afternoon fiasco!!!! We went back and forth from one Circuit City to another....and then back and forth from one Best Buy to another. EACH time we found one he liked and the price was right......the store we were in then said....no, they didn't have that one in stock, but after checking, the store down the street a couple of miles DID have the tv. Soooo, off we would go and when we would arrive at the next store.....THAT store didn't have it either!!!! This continued for several times......and finally at the final Best Buy, we checked on FIVE.....get that: FIVE different tvs....and each time, they didn't have it in stock. Well, they received a piece of my aging mind......and my foul mouth by that time....and we walked out of the place!!!!!

We had not had lunch so we stopped at a Hooters.....first time I have been to a Hooters in several years.....but,....the burgers were really quite good!!!! Then we headed downtown....and Jay had to meet some of his staff members in a tavern in what is called "uptown". We remained there for the Kansas BB game.......had a beer....enjoyed the conversation and then headed back to TheHowserHouse.

I got things gathered up.....stored all of the outside furniture, rolled in the awning, and just generally got things prepared to leave in the morning. I was inside when.....the 1st Lady and Jay walked in with a birthday cake with a dozen candles lit....thank god, they didn't have 65!!! While tomorrow is the official day, Jay will not be with us...and he wanted to enjoy the BD, also.

Tomorrow....well it is very iffy as to the availability of Wifi, no matter where we wind up staying. Going to try to get into Tunica at one of the Casinos, but none of them have wifi in the rv parks......so we will have to go to the Casino to try to get online there. Sooooo, there may not be any posting tomorrow evening...................

I have felt really good today.....one of the days when it seems the meds are working properly.....but each night and morning, I always wonder if this will continue???? We'll see......
It doesn't really make much difference in my outlook on Life......even though it seems like I am very uncomfortable...and I am.....I always know that it could be much, much worse......as some people know from their own daily lives........and so.....as I always feel,

LIFE IS REALLY GREAT!!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
