If wishes were horses....

If wishes were horse then beggars would ride, that was one of my mother's favorite sayings. I wish I could sleep but I am into a double header for tis week.

As is typical for me, I have passed my final stress hurdle for a while, no more trips to Sacramento. Mom is settled in her new place and complaining freely about the food (all while eating numerous treats she keeps in her room). So, I caught a "cold". Saturday I was cautious and picked up some Zicam, Sunday I was unable to move my head without searing pain in my sinus'. I am hacking nicely now and a bit wheezy but overall feeling better. I am even going to the free concert on the Horn Blower Cruise tomorro...uh tonight with the Old 97's! But I think that two days of inhaler use has got my system a bit too cranked.

One of the women I started with at DPH uses inhalers daily. She is the "Princess" type, expensive taste in everything except what matters, spackle make-up and she knows everything. She "loads" her inhaler which is considered dangerous and not as effective. Seeing as how she is frequently symptomatic.......

But this wakefulness does give me a chance to look at bathroom vanities on line. I loved the one site that ( http://www.justvanities.com/ST18-S-and-SV1-M-C-and-SV17S-BAB2184.html ) had a refurbished "oil barrel" as a vanity.......like $2300 or so! Guess I should stick to Lowes and Home Depot! As innovative and daring as I consider myself, I am afraid that it did nothing for me but make me wonder about the folks who would pay so much for it.
