Had it not been for the fact that I had to get a new prescription for morphine, I would have rescheduled whatever it was I had to go into Vegas for. Just because I didn’t want to go. Period. It was rescheduled from last month because the doctor who sees me for the neck was out of town, so I couldn’t let it go. It was already four months.

Now, of course, I would like some Pink Drink, but there is none to be had. And I want my mommie.

Thanks, though. I appreciate the condolences. *hug*

I have to go to the Stewardship Committee meeting tonight (because I’m vice-chairwoman and secretary ...), but I’d rather go to bed. At least I don’t have to drive Tom to school: Bill came home early with the car.

Oh, T-c! Please, try not to volunteer to be elected to those things! Your family needs you more!

The Wednesday train is coming through, and oddly enough, it is somewhat of a comfort for me.

And my hair needs a trim! Badly! It needs to be evened out and made to look like someone cares about it. (The three things I’ve always been vain about are my hair, my legs and my nails. My bad!)

I’m not volunteering for anything else, honest! The meeting isn’t until 7:00, and I can get the dishes done and have Kathleen washed before I go. Bill can feed the cats.

"NNB? You know how to do stuff. Did you miss something, maybe on a day you were out fixing your tractor?"

Nope. I already took care of everything we need.

You'll notice that we never have these traffic problems on the Habitats. That's because all the transportation is in enclosed tubes, like elevators. If you want to get bitten by a closing elevator door, that isn't my problem, and it isn't my problem to fix.

All the hovering my transportation systems do is inside the tube.

Now, if you want to get some personal hovering time in, go up to the Thrust Ring and run counter to the rotation. As soon as you get up to a matching speed, you can just lift off and hover while the Ring rotates around you.

That sounds so restful, like floating in the pool only better.

Well, the Thrust Ring is only about lunar gravity.

I forgot to mention that we do have a zero gravity facility. It’s at the center of our captured asteroid, Plymouth.

We’ve been mining it for a long time, and some of it has been hollowed out. It’s still a work in progress, but there’s always something to do.

Yes, he looks like a little sweetie.

No dentist appointments today. Looks like we’ll go to the library and the Walmart. Sally has taken a notion to make pizza from scratch.

When my kids were growing up (a little younger than Sally) Chef Boy-ar-dee made a “do it yourself” pizza kit, complete with flour and toppings. I made a lot of those. They were pretty good, for the price, but these days, pizza is so cheap, it probably doesn’t pay to “DIY” for money.

Pizza sounds good. I will check my pennies and see if I can get a couple of those $1 pizzas that are now $1.79. ;o]

I just went to Walgreen’s to get my prescription filled. Br-r-r-r-r!!! Next on the agenda is a shower, but not quite yet.

I need to call Walmart today for a print-out of my meds so I can take it to Walgreen’s. Waiting for 0900 to get a bottle of pills or a box of vials is ridiculous. That’s my lunch-time, fercryinoutloud.

And I also need a breathing treatment.

Good luck with all that. After looking at our schedule, I told Sally to aim for having it ready about 3:00, when the brothers want a snack. It would be much more trouble than it’s worth to make enough for all us to have a meal.

Note to self. Put on glasses before reading UT. I thought you said you were vain about the hair on your legs.

Don’t try it!!!!

It’s one of NNB’s favorite practicle jokes.

And guess whose job it is to chase down the blobs of - er - human effuvia. Yep. Yours truly.

But Bob will be Bob.

Did you ever get the pressure dome fitted out for flying a’la “The Menace from Earth” (Heinlein)?

At the time those DIY kits came out, we were four people and one was fairly short.

One pizza was enough to feed us. Now? I can get several meals from one pizza, but I have to share with other people because I get tired of the taste after the second straight meal of the same thing.

Well, since it’s mostly been non-existent all of my life, the hair on my legs has never been an issue. ;o]
