Transmission totally blown... $1100 to repair, + a coupla thousand dollars worth of antique guns that the in-laws were still holding on to for Rob. A lot of the material things Rob's been holding on to for years are gradually being stripped away & it's strange to know that he's letting go willingly. It was a good thing they didn't try to get us to get the truck looked at on Monday or it would have been a really long walk to the Henderson campus for my pre-algebra test. I need to get to the library here soon so I can work on my term paper for my computer class... 'Spam and the Freedom to Advertise'. Cripes. I was supposed to go this week, and I still might on Thursday - the bus runs up Charleston. We walked to the bank today to deposit my paycheck. It was windy and I'm sunburnt, but it made for a nice walk. Sunny, but the wind kept it from being miserably hot. Tonight we've been inside listening to it shake the porch & howl down the chimney. Doctor's appt. tomorrow - taking a cab because the Lake Mead bus stops at Rainbow & then at Rampart, with nothing near Tenaya - and then having to walk from Lake Mead to almost Smoke Ranch. My knees aren't made for it two days in a row.
Tried to explain to Jody about Turner's Syndrome - even without me knowing that I have it or not, she's like, "Oh, well me & Terry & all the girls need to get tested, too!" I started to try explaining to her that it's more of a birth defect & not typically a 'hereditary genetic disorder' (considering most people born w/it are sterile or nearly so, and most female fetuses with it are miscarried), and then just mentally gave up & said, "Yeah, that's a good idea". The best argument against Jody, Terry, Tina or Miranda having it is that they've all got kids. Jamie had to have a breast biopsy done & she's had two abnormal PAP smears. When she was a kid, she had benign colorectal polyps... I'm just hoping she's okay & it's nothing serious. At least she's got medical insurance thru Bally's.
Ah well. Same old, same old. Nothing new in my corner of the world except more worldly problems. Everyone has them, this is just where I choose to unwind.
