Time flies

Can it be?! Yes. I'm going to Ireland in a week and two days! If you can't tell, I'm looking forward to the trip quit a bit. I found out today that we'll be touring the south-west corner of Ireland. At the moment, the only town I can remember that we visit is Killarny. The schedule looks like we'll go and see something new everyday. Unfortunately, my mom won't see those sights. She has decided that she can't go to Ireland with a broken leg. Two and a half weeks (when she made the final decision) was just not enough time for the leg to heal enough to handle steps without any assistance. One good result of my mom not being able to go is that someone else will be able to take her place. My mom still has to pay for the non-refundable, non-transferable ticket, but because the group has an open spot at the various places we'll be staying, we can bring a person who would not have been able to go.

And now for another time related topic: watches! I bought a new watch yesterday. I'm pretty rough on watches and I got the last watch wet (still works, just discolored) and I broke the wristband. For anyone who has tried to buy a wristband by itself, it is just the same as a cheap watch. Since I only buy cheap watches (I'm far too rough with them), I bought a plain watch with a black face and a silver wristband. I almost got a sports watch which had a lot of functions such as alarm clocks, multiple timers, and a day of the week display; but the extra features added onto the thickness of a watch, and the sports watches were just to bulky to comfortably wear... although I miss the glow-light feature of a digital display. :-(

While at the craft show this weekend, the sun was out in full force, and I got quit sunburned. I've done pretty well this year staying out of the sun during heavy UV time. I didn't have much of an option this week, so as I look down at my (white) foot, I see the start of a red coloration, clearly delineated where I had my sock. My neck is even worse, but when I looked at my arms I was and am a little confused. The sunburn line is clearly marked, but it comes half way up my bicep on my right arm but only two inches past my elbow on my left. I may have to go to a chiropractor. The only answer I can think of is that I stand crooked, and I hope it is because my back is out of alignment and not because I naturally stand that way! :-)
