We did not have to figure that one out, thankfully, but the topic was pertinent. The morning we left East Lansing, we stopped to get the updated Covid vaccine, hopefully in time for the crowded Airstream rally in October. Now, Tracy sometimes gets like a vaccine hangover, and I always get downright sick, so we planned […]

The Mystery of Women at Age 55
After I made this post live, a friend strongly recommended I take it down. I haven’t had a chance to talk with her, to hear what she thinks, so I have it on hold until I can. If you’re curious enough that you’re willing to contact me to read it, please do. This entry isn’t […]
Taking Responsibility
I’m talking about my health. But not the way I’ve been talking about it the last six months. This is a new start. (These photos are from various places we’ve camped across the US and Canada, since I don’t have photos of where we are now, unpicturesque Livingston, Texas.) My doctors here near Houston say […]
A Proper Update
I feel guilty that so many friends opened that last post looking for an update on my medical questions, only for me to say, “I don’t want to talk about it.” I really was overwhelmed with, shall we say, unproductive feelings. Even now as I try to draft a better response, I find myself rambling […]
I Drove All the Way Here for This!
That’s what I told the endocrinologist yesterday when he said, “We’ll run a few tests the next time you’re in the area.” Dude! Dude. My husband and I cancelled all our summer plans and rearranged our lives to come here for this. For you! To Houston in the summer! Can’t you do them sooner?” To […]
Bluegrass, Blue Ridge, Orange Sky, Fireflies
Perfect moment report! Tracy and I were standing on the mountain ridge at this Airstream campground in southwest Virginia, watching the sun set. Just the right amount of distant clouds were over the Blue Ridge so that soft stretches of orange and pink were occasionally punctuated with striations of neon. Half the sky shifted in […]
Guess What, Back to Houston
This is part of a personal/medical series (GDTRx), unrelated to travel. Just a quick update here. I didn’t get an appointment with the Mayo Clinic. I don’t know why I didn’t, because the denial code is in a letter that’s been mailed to our mailing service in Livingston, Texas. As in snail mailed. I won’t get that […]
Hoping for Mayo
This is part of a personal/medical series (GDTRx), unrelated to travel. The Mayo in the title would be the famed Mayo Clinic; specifically, I’m hoping for an appointment with their endocrinology group in Minnesota. I haven’t mentioned this hope yet for fear of jinxing myself, but all I’ve gone through the past week just to get […]
Where To Next?
We’re driving south today for the first time since we hit Florida in April and the second time since we left Texas this winter. It’s like we’re sweeping up and down the eastern part of the country, which certainly was not the plan. We’re biding our time, basically, waiting for word from various doctors, to see […]
Good News on Schodack Island (& More Glen Shots)
I’ll get the good news out of the way and then talk about where we are. The good news is that I do not have a brain tumor. I’m serious, I’ve been wracked with justifiable worry about this, ever since a month ago when my former endocrinologist told me she thought I had one. Since […]
