First, I want to thank all of you for the get-well emails and wishes. I'm pretty much back to *normal*...just in time for the last round of shows. Since my last post, I've been to Holland, San Jose, and Akron. I *thought* I now had a quiet week to get caught up, but I was surprised to get a "Check in for your upcoming flight" email from United this morning. Oh, sh*t...let the frantic packing begin...but this really is quite funny. I'd intended to do the show in Hawaii and have a few days holiday afterward, so for once I started early and had my ticket, Creighton's, the hotel and car rental purchased ages ago...and then the show was cancelled. So, in the midst of $42,000 of medical debt, what am we doing?? We're going to HAWAII!! And there isn't even a stamp show! HaHa! Even better, I paid for almost everything with airline miles!
...And now to continue with my Around My Neighborhood series, why do Spokanians shop in their pajamas and slippers???


OK, the blue snowflake pajamas pic was shot at the airport. Not quite "my neighborhood", but they were really funny.

I'm still not getting out much, but wanted to share the get-well gift I got from a couple of my BFF's, Paula and Teresa -- a beautiful handmade book with red pages and purple (of course) leather binding, an activity kit with sketch pad, color pencils AND markers (!), and peeps. Yes, Paula they DID make me smile.
I'm blessed to have such wonderful friends who know just what will brighten my day.
