its been a couple days

...since i've posted. life is starting to calm down and return to some form of normal.

night cramps are gone. i took the potassium for a couple days and that stopped them. but i've stopped taking the potassium because having too much of it is also a very bad thing. i havent had any new cramps to occur, so thats a good thing. but i'm still dealing with the effects of one horrible cramp that happened in my calf during that time. every time i get up from sitting i'm hurting for several minutes until it stretches out. i try to stretch it whenever possible, but it never seems to hold.

this coming weekend is the husband's birthday. he has been pressuring me for many years to go riding with him on his motorcycle. so i finally relented and for his b'day gift told him i'd go for a very short ride, so we did. and it still freaked me out just like it did years ago. the worst part is whenever you have to stop,start,or turn. going in a straight line, at 20mph, is bearable. i can see joining him for rides of a couple miles in length, but beyond that i dont think so! you cant push someone to enjoy something if they dont.

work is fine. there are times when i remember why i wanted to leave this place so bad, but then i put it into perspective and things are not so bad afterall. i am really enjoying being back with my friends here, they make all the difference!

went to see Evan Almighty the other night. thats a very good "warm-fuzzies" movie. it was filmed where my brother lives in Charlottesville, VA. he even got to meet some of the cast. lucky him!

i think the most interesting thing going on currently is Tropical Storm Erin heading for Texas. from what i can tell from the projected path is it will be just south of us. we'll prob get some rain, but i doubt any severe weather.
