BEEP, BEEP!
HALLOWEEN ZOMBIE.
MONDAY BLUES.
Thursday. My week started with a BEEP. It was so annoying. At
every turn my car's horn would beep all by itself...Just imagine that
for a second. Imagine seeing other drivers looking at you as if you
were crazy, as you turned left or right at a four way stop.
Friday, the horn started going off EVEN if I drove straight down a street.
BEEEEP! BEEEEP! Time to go to a garage and fix it, but first I had to
pick up, Maricela and the twins, and drive to their pediatrician
downtown Winder. I beeped practically all the way. I was trying not
to loose my nerves. Maricela found it hilarious..the twins didn't even
flinch at the sound.
When it was time to drive Maricela back home, the blasted beep
went off...and it would not stop!!! The 10 minute drive seemed
eternal!!! From Maricela's apartment I went straight to a garage and
had it fixed...what a relief!
Saturday after work I bought some groceries. As I was taking out my
groceries from my car, my eyes caught a glimpse of my "vibrating"
lawn mower ...I went up the stairs to my door thinking, what if I
do it now..I can't bear that lawn looking like that anymore...what if
I run while doing it...it would be faster and that would mean less
time holding that vibrating handle.
I quickly changed clothes at went for it. Ahhh....the neighbors must
have thought I lost it! I looked like a mad woman connected to vibrating
lawn mower moving as fast as she could from side to side of her
lawn! By the end I could hardly breath...I was exhausted...but it was
done. Although, it nearly killed me!
As I pushed the lawn mower to the side of the house to put it away.
I felt ill. Dizzy. I went up the stairs, locked my door and went to
my bedroom. Gaaah! Nausea set in. What was going on?, I asked
myself. I took off my clothes and plopped on my bed...everything
was spinning. There was a knock at the door. NO! It must be kids
asking trick or treat...I was sure! I could not go and open that door.
A real life ZOMBIE would have scared them to death!!!
When I felt better I dragged myself to the shower...and retreated to
my room, the rest of the night. Blah!
Sunday...I picked up Maricela, Violeta and the twins, and went to
Church. It was so nice to go Mass with someone. I miss Father
Jaime, but I must say that I liked the sermon given by our new Priest.
The babies slept through Mass. I love those little angels!
It was Halloween. I thought of my family in Spain having a good time
at Carol's. I will come back to this post and add some photos. As
always so much fun...
Monday, there is a big change in the weather. Gloomy and rainy.
I feel down. Depressed. I was hoping to be able to move sooner to
Spain. Pepe and I had a long talk. But it seems it's going to take
longer. At least that was the conclusion after our conversation.
As always I try to forget things writing in my blog...I searched for
fun photos for "Jillsy's one word Wednesday".
Tuesday...GASP!!! On noooooo!!! My keyboard is dead!!! I must
turn to Sandra's lap top to work on "FOOD STORIES". What a
nightmare. I can't stand working on it, but I pushed myself to transfer
one more recipe from Between U.S.A. and Spain to FOOD STORIES,
and to write a Alonso Visits Madrid. Moving the recipes to the new blog
is sooooo time consuming!I wish it was just copy and paste.
But no! The spacing is different, and I must correct it. The photos
must be placed correctly also, adding the border is a must
again....Sometimes, I wonder why I do this. Is it a waste of time?
I keep telling myself..the book...the book...someday, Juani, you will
publish it and feel proud. I really want it so bad! Every day I see the
book store from my department, and wonder how it would feel to see
FOOD STORIES on a shelf....sigh...
Wednesday, after going to bed exhausted from writing until late...I
wake up at 6:30 A.M. HOW FUN! I continued on Alonso's post. At
least that gave me joy. I don't get tired of going over Sandra's
photos. Seeing my grandson in Madrid, knowing he is seeing a
whole different world makes me happy!
Sometimes...I wish I wouldn't have made this move to Georgia. I
wouldn't be in this situation right now. Away from my husband. Away
from my family.
Live and learn...baby...Live and learn.
I must rely on God's help now. He will work it out for me. I just have
to hang in there...I know there is a purpose to all that is happening.
I just can't see it yet.

I want to thank my friend, Barbara, from Long Hollow for her
moral support.
Her comments on my posts
light up my days...they mean
so much to me! That is why
I thought about her while I
traveled in Spain during
September...I just had
to share a little piece of Spain
with her and sent her something
to remember her blogging friend!
Yesterday I was so surprised
when I saw this in the mail!
A thank you card from her
that blessed me and made me smile!
Thank you Barbara...I loved it!
And..yes, someday we will meet in person!
