What’s a Guy to do?

Well, the last month has been very hectic for the Yogi family. I had a heck of an allergy attack in early March, I mean a real doozey. Followed by a great family trip to San Antonio. We did it all, we did the Alamo, the Riverwalk, Hemisfair Plaza, Seaworld, the whole deal. Then the family left me and my sinuses in SA while they went back to Tulsa.

I did my industry convention, got a whole load of continuing education hours to keep my PE license, found a whole bunch of microcaches in and along the river walk, and explored a bunch of the city on foot. My and the sinuses went through a ton of tissue on the way, and grossed out a bunch of friends. No wonder I was so lonely.

Then I got back to Tulsa and my Mother-in-Law, Nana, a very sweet lady who is moving to Tulsa got her plans accelerated when she accidently fell and broke her hip. So she was in the hospital and then rehab and is now staying with us and is doing great, and is planning to move into her new house in a few weeks.

As an aside, I will tell you that if something similar happens to me, I’m sending the ambulance to where she went, Saint John’s Hospital here in Tulsa and then rehab at the Bernsen Rehab center. Both the hospital and the rehab center are wonderful and are staffed by very skilled and compassionate people not only toward the patient but also the family.

After that excitement died down, I finally went to the doctor who gave me some antibiotics. That stopped the sinuses but also my digestive system. Friday night I took the last of the antibug pills so maybe I’ll start feeling better here pretty quick. In the meantime, I’m exercising again and it is like starting from scratch. That’s not fair.

So tonight, its just me and Nana. Sweetie and SuperPizzaBoy are at some cultural event bettering themselves. Me and Nana are watching House Hunters. Then Nana asked me if I would go the house she recently purchased and check the water level in the swimming pool. Sure! I don’t know anything about swimming pools but I can check water levels. After all I am a by God Licensed Professional Chemical Engineer in the State of Oklahoma (PE 17351).

I get over there and the water level is a little low so I get the water flowing. Filling a pool is not like filling a bathtub. This is going to take a while. What’s a guy to do?

I’ll tell you, its time to go geocaching!

Christmas in July , Number 764, but who is counting, really its not about the numbers, is it, not at all. And yes, as a blogger I take my camera everywhere I go, and, as a geocacher, I take my GPS receiver everywhere.

Any geocachers who slogged through this post? Tell us what your geocaching handle is. Mine is YogiABB. Son’s is guess what, SuperPizzaBoy. Sweetie won’t get one, so the local geocachers call her … well we won’t get into that. I stay on thin ice around here anyway. She really puts up with a lot.

    My handle is dbp65.. I think. I’m so new to this. I had to go online to look up what all the messages left at the geocaches meant. (ftf, etc.) I’m such a newbie.

    I don’t have a handle because I am still trying to figure out what geocaching is and we don’t have a GPS system. I keep coming across other bloggers who do it though, and it sounds intriguing. Sorry to hear about your allergy attack. That sounded awful for you. Glad your m-i-l is recovering nicely also.

    My CB handle was Sissy. I loved my dad’s CB.

    That stinks about your MIL. But, good to know we have outstanding facilities.

    I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I don’t have the spring allergy attack this year. Mine always turns to a sinus infection too. Ugh!

    Oh, good grief!! My word verification is TRAMP! Geez o pete! You ARE satan! ROFL!

    Sounds like you had a busy month for sure, hope you get over the allergies there awful, things will be sprouting around here and will be facing all that before too long as well. Not into the geocaching but know a few people that do it. They love it as much as you i think.

    Wow you have found a lot of caches! Hubby and I suffer from bad allergies this time of year also. All that dang tree pollen. Oh and I left a little something for you on my blog. =)

    Well I guess you can learn something new every day. I have never heard of geocaching. I am lucky if I can find my car in a parking lot.
