Greetings from Tennessee

Here I am, at Megabites internet cafe, just outside Crossville, TN. It has been a long week. Here are some things that I've accomplished:

Cleaned out rain gutters
Raked the front yard
Painted the big bedroom. (acutally just a glaze...)
Painted the small bedroom
Cleaned the bathroom from top to bottam. (gross)
Washed the floors in the 2 bedrooms, and bathroom
Cleaned out the fridge and some cupboards

I still have to see if I can get the weed-wacker working, clean out the garage, and generally do the pre-departure clean up.

It has been a good week, but I really miss Billy and the pooch. I don't feel lonely, but it is strange going for days on end without talking to anyone, (in person at least, I talk to Billy a couple of times a day...) At least this time away by myself I'm not scared sh!tless like I was last time. (I think is has to do with not watching a scary movie days before leaving.

Did I mention that I'm sick? I think it is just because of all the different and intersting fumes I've been subjecting myself to. (Paint, Pine Sol, gasoline....) Being sick by yourself is not fun, especially when I felt too crappy to drive into town to get some sinus medicine.

I golfed twice, once by myself and the second time with a guy who was a little annoying. He kept saying things like, "well when you're a better golfer you'll realize...." or "if you decide to keep trying at golf..." or "I hope it doesn't seem like I'm giving you advice, but you should reconsider your grip and stance..." Little obvious hints and tips. It really made me self conscience and bothered. Needless to say I golfed like crap, which is a bummer because it is probably the last time I'll golf until next year...

I've tried to be observant, and hopefully will have some insightful posts in the near future. I'm looking forward to coming home and seeing Billy.
