The view from rural Pennsylvania
I've been here at my Mom's house for a week now. So far it's pretty boring, but I was expecting that. Arrived here on a 12-hour bus ride from Columbus last Wednesday. Much of my Mom's family came out last weekend for a get-together. I don't get to see my family very much, so it was nice, although a few relatives I wanted to see didn't make it.
The house is out in the boonies, about 4 miles from the nearest town. There's a nice view of a distant mountain from the living room window, and nature is right outside the door. That's something one tends to miss when living in the city. My mom works a lot during the week, and I've been stranded here for a few days with nothing but a TV! (I like TV, just not all the time.) The computer mysteriously died about a week ago, and just as mysteriously came back to life when I was fooling around with it today. Hooray.
Today I tried to track down some info on when and where I got my last measles shot. In Tennessee, they require proof of immunization before you attend classes. It was over ten years ago, of course, and my record, if it exists, is buried in the basement of the doctor's office. She suggest I try my high school and added, "I don't know why colleges still require shots. I know I don't have my immunization records anymore." Why indeed.
I know this is a boring post. But right now, my life is very boring. Thus, expect to see more posts than normal.
