It's official: This 'vacation' sucks
Quoth myself, Friday Aug. 4:
Grrr. I'm off next week. And I'm so wired, from bustin' it to be able to take off that I have a bad feeling that it's going to be one of those "vacations" that take me until, like, WEDNESDAY to calm down and FRIDAY to actually relax! Arrrrgggghhhhhh!

Sigh. Ya win some and ya lose some. This'n is a loser. I haven't done half the things I meant to have done by now. I just don't feel good. Blah.
The heat is pissin' me off, and the fact that the heat is pissin' me off is pissin' me off, because heat used to roll off me like sweat off a duck's back.
Dreamed about raw sewage and a skunk last night. No lie. WTH?
In a desperate attempt to get my head on, I think I'm going to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum this afternoon, by myself -- and if that ain't a fogeyish thing to do, I don't know what is.

I don't think the museum is a fogeyish thing to do--not even going alone! Especially knowing how much you dig cowboys, indians, and the western culture, I would imagine you'll have an enjoyable time.
So let us help you with the other issue--what did you want to have done by now?

That's too cool a place to feel fogey-ish about. I'm thinking of going to the History Center myself. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
When you get back, throw some stuff in the truck and head for Taos. A good 12-hour drive or less to be up at 7,000 feet in the cool air? DO IT. Get the hell outta Dodge!

I love that place! And I am sooo cool, so it can be fogeyish. :)
Have you been to the Jenks aquarium lately? I think they've added some stuff since the last time I was there and it's air conditioned, so it would be a cool day trip, too.
There are also some nice wineries in that area that might be a hoot to tour and go to the tasting rooms and gift shops.
Get out of the dang house. How hot can it be walking from your air conditioned house to your air conditioned truck?? :)

Did you have beans for supper last night? That could explain the dream. When I have beans I usually dream motorcycles keep ripping through the bedroom.

Took me a minute or three to connect beans to motorcycles. Now that you mention it, I've had homemade cabbage cole slaw the past two nights. That'll do it, I reckon.
Crystal, I've never been to the Jenks thing.
FF and Trixie, I got a real attitude adjustment by going to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum (the Murrah bombing museum), for the first time ever. There, I saw the worst kind of destruction that humankind is capable of.
Then, I went on to the Cowboy museum, where I saw some of the best kinds of creation that human beings are capable of. For those who've never been, it is a Western-themed fine arts-history museum, with just a little kitsch, and historical kitsch at that.
Pretty good bookends to put my own mood in perspective.
I think I got something physical goin' on, though. Maybe it's just bein' so out of shape. I don't know. I'm not sleepin' very well and I'm achy. Maybe I need a shot of Geritol!

Well that's a cheery headline.
You DO have something physical going on: It's just too hot this time of year for people our age.
:-)
Hope ya get to feelin' better.

I think the August allergy season arrived about two weeks early this year. I've felt puny for a few days myself, and normally it doesn't show up like this until the last week of the month. That's another GOOD reason to hit the road to a different climate, like TAOS!
Taos! I don't think I could drive as far as Texas right now. In fact, one of the reasons I feel discombobulated is I can't force myself into the truck long enough to get to Mama ER's and Brudder ER's ... about a 3 and 1/2 hour drive. Just thinking about being in the pickup that long makes my bones hurt. I am just a pitiful mess.
Now you do sound like your ass is in sorry shape alright. I've refused to go to the bombing museum so far. Maybe I should, just to close the circle. However if your going there actually helps clean your mind then maybe what you have is called clinical depression. It ain't just the blues, or feeling down, it's a deeper thing. Not feeling "good" enough to get in the truck and go see your mamma sounds like a sure symptom. You can't just shake that shit off either. The extreme heat adds to it as well. It is all a matter of chemistry.
Go get it checked out, and by the way how's your blood sugar? And remember that Dr. ER isn't a real Doctor when it comes to this sort of thing where as I have my certified New Mexico Texico Service Station medical degree.
But if you can play, you need to be fixed.

Screw Taos.
Screw the museums.
Come to Maryville, Mo., for our wedding reception. Tis Saturday evenin'.
Can't say it'll be cool. Hell, it'll make the humidity in central Oklahoma feel like a Las Vegas evenin'. But we'll have beer.
Hell, I'll even buy a bottle of ol' George.
