Fritos for Dinner

Edge of our town

I'm eating Fritos and I don't care how unhealthy my dinner is. The last three days have been non-stop storage runs, taking things in the house and other errands. I'm pooped. I'm not cooking. My son is eating his frozen cooked chicken and rice, the girls are eating with their mom, so I get to sit here enjoying corn chips, and coffee. We've had gorgeous weather, but the rain is returning and very cold temperatures as well. We are going to Astoria, Oregon tomorrow, an hour from where I live, and I love going across the Astoria-Megler bridge. We are getting the house ready to move in, but can't until the water regulator comes in. The pressure is way too high. We are hoping it will be this week. I'm rambling but wanted to say hello and hope everyone is doing wonderful. I'm trying to catch up on notifications. How was your day? The photo is on the outskirts of town.

Lovely photo. That bridge..... I've never driven over it. The photos scare me and cause me to wonder if my fear of heights is getting worse. Today's weather was April like. Loved every minute of it but I think rain is coming. My currant shrubs are blooming. That surprised and delighted me.

The bridge is so beautiful to drive. I've been across it so many times with my travel trailer. The one that scares me is the floating bridge in the Seattle area.

I loved Astoria. I remember we stayed in a small hotel during 4 days, their haddock dishes were delicious.

That's a beautiful photo! I had to go to the ER today because my doctor wanted x-rays done to make sure I didn't have a broken nose or a concussion from falling earlier... We spent 5 hours in the hospital and I have a referral to a neurologist to call me back to make an appointment, maybe next week. I am worn out. We got home about 2 pm and I slept until Pretty woke me up at 9 pm to sign her phone for Medicaid. I'm thinking I'll go back to sleep as soon as I catch up on myLot. Have a good evening/night.

@noni1959 You're welcome. I hope so. I hate waiting and would prefer to get whatever they need to do done as quickly as possible. Thank you.

@DaddyEvil Thank you! It's been so gorgeous out. Oh, my gosh! I am so sorry you had such a fall. It sounds so serious and painful. I'm hoping they get you in quickly to the neurologist.

That looks a pretty little town. Will you be having a house-warming party of any sort? You will be over the moon when you're finally installed in your new home.

Our town is about 3,000 now. They are revamping it and trying to update some of the older buildings. The industry here is oysters and lumber. We probably won't do a house warming party but my son does want to have a dinner. Most our family and friends live quite the distance. I've been taking my new bedding down and a few other things in-between storage runs. It's getting real.
