The more things change . . .

The plans for April have changed. We were going to go to Las Vegas for a business meeting, for two days. Well, each of the cars we tentatively planned to take have had issues. We rode home from Salina, Ks. in a tow truck yesterday. Because we had the car towed to our house instead of to the dealership, the insurance would not pay the whole bill. We knew that. It was actually the suggestion of the insurance office, though, because she knew that the dealership would take quite a while and charge us several hundred dollars, we still would need to get home, and chances are, Bob can fix the car right in our driveway for much less.
As a result of this extra expense, and MY insecurity about taking our cars that far, we have decided not to go. The price of gas is still going up, and we have decided we could take three fun trips for about the same amount, without going into debt. We were going to have three expensive nights in a hotel there and gasoline, and food, and two or three nights on the road.
I have been going to the YMCA for a little over two weeks, and I have purchased one of the "shaker weights" and some Danskin brand shape up shoes. I am beginning to see results. I have lost about five pounds of the weight I gained around Christmas. The shoes . . . well I do not know if they make me look more toned, but they make me feel like I have incredible posture. So they are a good deal as far as I am concerned. My arms are toning, I cannot say absolutely that it is the shaker weight, it could be the water walking. Overall, I am pleased.
Spring is here. I planted peas on St. Patrick's day. I have blooming daffodils and crocus. My tomato seeds have come up.
I am looking at more online writing, or a job. I will write here again, soon.
