Mom’s visit to the doctor went well. The doctor decided to schedule both of our blood test at the same time, 10:00 Wednesday. Why is it when someone tells you not to do something you just have to do it? No food after 10:00 a.m. No coffee, tea, soda….. Just drink copious amounts of water. I am considering taking a sleeping pill at 9:30. Just knock myself out. I won’t be hungry; it is just the thought of being told not to eat that will drive me to a pickle. What is worse than being told don’t eat is when I get permission to eat, then I overeat. It is a vicious circle folks.
One thing Michael of Ajo showed me was a Delorme map of Arizona. I found one and told my oldest son, James aka Rusty about it. Rusty aka James has become a hiking fool; almost every weekend, Anna and James aka Rusty grabs the kids and hit the trails. Between you and me I think he is nuts for hiking in snow but whatever trips his trigger. This map has shown him a new world. I received a text message from him about three hours ago and he told me he was at Barnes and Noble. He has never been in a bookstore before so I knew he was a man on a mission. The next text was a picture of his Delorme atlas. So I called him. James aka Rusty never turns down a phone call from his mama but he didn’t answer. I tried again about 30 minutes later. No answer and no returned call. I have been replaced by an atlas. This is a special atlas though and I can understand… Really. We are going to be waiting around for some tests and I am going to put my atlas to use. I have a little section of the world set aside for hiking and exploring. I have my camera bag packed and I am sitting on ready and rocking on go.
We have another 3 days in Tucson and then we will be heading to Tubac. That is if the doctor doesn’t find anything wrong with me.
