Another Sleepless Night Lots of Random Here....

I'm over in PA at my grandma's house.  It was her mother that died this week.  There are bodies sleeping all over the house and I was the lucky one who got the loveseat.  I could have had a room upstairs, but the spare room is where the cat sleeps and well, as with everything else, I'm allergic to cats.  My allergy to cats isn't the same as with dogs.  Dogs make me sneezy, cats make me wheezy.  So I'm sitting here feeling like there's a fat lady sitting on my chest trying to sleep...  It's not working.  It figures that the only pharmacy out here in the middle of nowhere closed at 9 and I arrived at 9:17 to get some Allegra-D.  I get that people are using the shit to make meth and all that, but for the love of GOD, I needed some.  It's the only thing that takes the wheezy away.  The regular Allegra won't work, so I'm stuck awake here breathing like a person having an asthma attack.  Gavin isn't much better off, but I think I gave him enough Benedryl to take down an elephant, so he's sleeping soundly on the big couch.  Bad planning on my part I suppose letting him fall asleep on that couch.  Now I'm gonna wake up with charley horses in both legs from them hanging off the couch.  Believe me, I speak from experience.  Should we happen to come down for Thanksgiving I'll work some extra shifts so that I can afford a hotel.

I had a personal best driving time over here, three hours and fifteen minutes door to door.  Not bad if I do say so myself.  It sure as shit wasn't the 18 hour drive to Florida, so it was easy.  Plus, not much traffic on the freeway on a Thursday afternoon, so all was good getting here.  Everyone in the car pretty much slept the whole way, so I put in one ear phone and jammed out all the way here.  I really need a new stereo in the new car.  I had the whole tape deck to iPod converter in the other car, but this one doesn't have a tape deck.  Bummer for progress in audio I suppose.  I have a wireless converter, but it sucks, so as cheap as stereos are these days, I'll just get a new one.  What I will not do is let Best Buy install it.  They did my sister's like 5 years ago and when she went to sell the car, she took it out and found out it was duct taped into place.  Real nice for $100 in installation fees....  I'll do it myself, thank you very much....

Other than those trivial, non-interesting things, there really isn't too much else to say.  I know I haven't been writing much and there are things that I totally missed out on telling you guys, but I'm at a loss as to what those things are right now.  The funeral is tomorrow morning and right after we're done with all the family time bullshit, I'll be heading back home.  I'm not doing two nights on the love seat.  Plus, Chip works on Saturdays and there's nobody there to watch his kid, so I have to get back home.  I do love it here though. 

If I could get a job making like 60k a year I'd move back here in a heartbeat.  There's no city substitute for kids growing up in the country and experiencing all that there is to do out here.  I was lucky to spend the first 14 years of my life here and not a whole lot has changed.  City kids miss out on all that.  Besides the kids, I'd like to be here for me, for my well being.  I feel like I need to be in a place that's slower than city life anymore.  I'm tired of the go, go, go of life and all the crappy shit that's going on.  Moving here wouldn't solve my problems, but it's sure a nice place to visit.....  Maybe tomorrow I'll take some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about....

Happy Friday friends, enjoy your weekend if I don't post again before Monday!
