Hello all,

Well, the MRI of my brain was...interesting. Good thing I'm not claustrophobic, though. Being squeezed, arrow-straight, flat on your back and motionless, into that tight space with hard plastic around your head, for nearly half and hour--well, I don't know how anyone with claustrophobia could handle that. Afterwards, I was a bit woozy for some reason. I don't know what they injected into my hand, but I was awfully tired afterwards. Slept like a rock last night, for a pleasant change.

The weather's been gorgeous here, but rain's on the way for the weekend. We never got the big rainstorm that was supposed to come in last weekend, so maybe this time we'll be getting our due. We could use it, been an unsusually dry spring, so far.

I spent part of the evening listening to Kylie, the cats and me on the balcony, watching the traffic go by. There were two huge turkey buzzards

soaring over Glens Falls last night. Despite their ugliness up close, in flight they are really quite graceful and beautiful.

I'm really enjoying Kylie's music. It makes me long for the freedom of the open road--good tunes blaring away, driving through back roads of the hills and valleys. Ah well, have to settle for watching other people drive down Glen Street. I can look down at people sitting inside their cars--and hope I don't see something I shouldn't, ha-ha.

Well, driving weather is here, despite the gas (petrol) crisis. The classic cars and duded up hot rods are out, all nice and shiny after being garaged for the winter, and also there's people in convertables, driving with the top down, as well.

Well, off to home in a bit. Wonder what bills will be waiting in the post for me today? Lately, it's been nothing but bills and junk mail I can't even use--coupons for car washes (just rub my carlessness in, why don't they?) and posh restaurants I can't possibly afford. Although, I did get some rather nice KFC vouchers, good until mid-June. Haven't had fried chicken in a while.

So, it's a tight week, financially. I have a big 150 dollar medical bill that absolutely must be paid--or no more services from that office, which leaves me only 20 or 30 dollars left over, afterwards--which the cat food, bus fares, laudromat money and cab fare to the laundromat, has to all come out of. I still have about 30 dollars left in food vouchers, so at least I don't have to buy food out of the leftover funds, thank God. I tell you though, the more money I have coming in, the more the bills start pouring in--you pay one thing, and suddenly you've got five more bills in the post the next day. Can't win for losing.

You know, I find it rather strange, that I get two to three hundred more hits to my blog site, on days when I am offline, then when I'm actively writing. What's with that, I wonder?
