We left last Wednesday after quite a busy day headed for Myrtle Beach. Wednesday was a trip in itself. Wednesday was my birthday...the big 50!! WooHoo!! I always take my birthday off as a day just for me. That's the day I take care of my annual physical exams (you know the routine, women...pap, mammo, etc. etc.). Yeah I know. I've been told it's a weird routine I have - doing this on my birthday, but I kinda figure it's a gift to me. Who else is gonna take care of me, but me? And besides, if I schedule it for my birthday, I won't forget! I usually do the physical check-up, then have my hair and maybe my nails done, have a quiet lunch somewhere and just enjoy the day...MY day. Anyway, I wanted to sleep in - after all it WAS my birthday, but no such luck. I had to get up early to take the dogs to the vet for boarding (and Macy's surgery), then off to the Driver's License office to get my license renewed, then back to the house to pick up a few things, run a couple more errands and then dash to Chattanooga for the doctor's appointment. As soon as I was out of the doctor's office, I headed back to Cleveland to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions and then go back to the house. I forgot to take Belle's meds with her to the vet so I had to get them and go back to the vet again. I finally got back to the house after 5:00 pm. Where did the day go? Tim had errands to run before we could go and neither one of us had packed. We threw some things in the suitcase, loaded the car and away we go! Whew! Finally.
As soon as we were in the car, my stomach very loudly proclaimed that it has been neglected all day and is ready for some food. I had not eaten all day. We wanted to get on the road, but decided to go ahead and get something to eat in Cleveland so that when we did actually get 'on the road' we wouldn't have to stop for awhile. Besides, I just needed to stop, relax, unwind and share with Tim how my day had gone, what the doctor said and just general stuff like that.
We ate, talked and relaxed. It was late, but we didn't get in a hurry. We were officially on vacation and if we didn't get any farther than Atlanta tonight, that was fine. We were on vacation! We finally left Cleveland and got as far as Madison, GA - south of Atlanta - before we stopped.
After a good night's sleep and finally getting to sleep in a little bit, we got up and took our time getting dressed. We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then headed down the highway toward Myrtle Beach. I am so ready for a few days off. I'm ready for Myrtle Beach. I just hope Myrtle Beach is ready for me!!
