Away

Lately I have had trouble finding time or the inclination to update my blog. I am not sure what the problem is. It could be that I have just felt crappy lately (long story very short, I was on Prednisone for Rheumatoid Arthritis/Lupus and now that I am done with it I feel tired, stiff, sore pretty much like I felt before the treatment began. The other drug I am taking for this condition is SUPPOSED to be working to make me not so stiff tired sore...blah blah blah. Either it isn't working or I haven't given it enough time).

Or maybe it is all the crap going on in just about every part of the world. My heartbreaks for the people in Japan, it seems as if they are going for bad to worse every day.

I am worried about things going on in my home state. I am hoping that what I am hearing is not the whole story...maybe I am missing something...if I am not, well I don't even know what to say. Dictatorship is what comes to mind, but I will open up that can of worms when I know more about it.

But none of that is what I came on to blog about today.

Also on my mind is my best friend and how frustrating it is living so many miles from her. I want to be able to get together for a day, a night, a weekend. But circumstances being what they are it just isn't going to happen anytime soon.

I wish I was on this road

Going to this place

 to do this

or here

Or just about anywhere up there for that matter.

I would really like to go there for the weekend, and go to every single wine cellar up there

and forget for a while,

 that I am still trying find a way to live comfortably with my newly diagnosed condition.

That there is a family just like ours somewhere in Japan that is scared to death that their 4 year old daughter is going to become deathly ill from being exposed to radiation.

That people are being killed unfairly and unjustly all over the world.

That people are growing more disrespectful of their neighbors rights, ideas and feelings.

That increasingly Conservative and Liberals are unable to get their shit together and make something work before it's to late.

You know...just get away and forget for awhile.
