WOKE UP WITH A KILLER HEADACHE THURSDAY MORNING... WENT ACROSS TO THE GENERAL STORE AND GOT SOME HEADACHE AND SINUS RELIEF, THE NON-DROWSY KIND...(YEAH, RIGHT!) AND JUMPED IN THE TRUCK AND HEADED FOR KANSAS CITY... I FOUND AN EVEN MORE DESOLATE HIGHWAY TO DRIVE ON (THANKS, GARMIN)... AS I BEGAN TO NOD OFF WITH NOTHING TO LOOK AT BUT WIDE OPEN SPACES, I STARTED TO SING THE THEME SONG TO "GREEN ACRES" TO PASS THE TIME...(I KNEW I WAS GETTING SICKER BY THE MINUTE)... FOR THOSE OF YOU TOO YOUNG TO REMEMBER GREEN ACRES, LOOK IT UP OR ASK SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS...(SOME HOTCAKES WOULD HAVE TASTED PRETTY GOOD OUT THERE)...
I WAS ABLE TO MAKE MY DESTINATION WITHOUT INCIDENT... AND IN TIME TO GO PICK UP MOLLY FROM SCHOOL... MIKE AND ANNA ARE WALKING DISTANCE FROM MOLLY'S SCHOOL... I THEN WENT DOWNSTAIRS AND SAT IN THE RECLINER AND GOT THE CHILLS SOMETHING AWFUL... ANNA WAS RIGHT THERE WITH SOME NYQUIL AND 40 LBS. OF BLANKETS AND I WENT OUT LIKE A LIGHT... BROKE A SWEAT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING (NOT SURE IF IT WAS A FEVER BREAKING OR THE 40 LBS. OF BLANKETS BUT I FELT BETTER WHEN I WOKE UP)... I LEARNED THAT THEY CHECKED ON ME A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE I WAS STILL BREATHING...
I THEN WENT UPSTAIRS TO WATCH THE MASTER PUMPKIN CARVER AT WORK (MIKE). HE HAD ALL THE TOOLS AND PATTERNS AND REALLY DID A GREAT JOB... ANNA MADE SOME CHILI FOR THE COOK OFF IN MIKE'S OFFICE ON FRIDAY (GOOD CHILI) AND I LASTED UNTIL AROUND 12:30... MIKE WAS STARTING ANOTHER PUMPKIN BUT I WENT DOWN TO SLEEP. ANOTHER ROUND OF CHILLS (NOT AS LONG THIS TIME) AND I WENT OUT FAIRLY QUICKLY...
GOING TO EMPTY THE TRUCK FRIDAY AND REPACK IT AGAIN... I NEED ABOUT 6 INCHES MORE LEG ROOM BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE AN AIRLINE SEAT WHEN I'M DRIVING, I CAN'T STRETCH OUT... HALLOWEEN PARTY BEFORE TRICK OR TREATING WITH THE GIRLS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SOCCER GAME OR GAMES ON SATURDAY... (I MAY SNEAK IN A ROUND OF GOLF SATURDAY AFTERNOON IF I FEEL BETTER...
