Day after the last one

 I have to admit that I felt worn out after yesterday's trip to Charlotte.  Everything went very smoothly there and everyone was wonderful.  We also stayed at a new (to us) hotel near a mall south of Charlotte. I wasn't allowed to go shopping (shame!)  Needless to say I can't remember what it was called but we'll stay there again next time. Totally buggered by the time we got home so we blobbed in front of the goggle box til about 9.  Haven't got a clue what we watched but I enjoyed it, I think.  Oh yeah, an old Monty Python movie.  No idea which one.  I think I now understand why my Dad was not amused by it - it was crap and we gave up after a while.  Feeling mighty chipper today and rushed around and shipped almost the last of my latest batch of ebay junk, dealt with someone I had unwittingly sold a dead speaker to (I offered him his money back and he can keep it which seemed a fair compromise.  At least it's gained me enough room agai...

Day something else - Back in Charlotte

 7:45 appointment at Levine Cancer Institute tomorrow so no way were we going to drive here in the dark,  So we are staying in unashamed luxury at the Doubletree in Southpark.  Not as handy for the hospital (4 and a bit miles) as the place by the baseball stadium but far more comfortable.  Excellent dinner in the bar so we're now stuffed and back in our suite (!) waiting for an online chat with Sam if I can remember how to get it started.  Another load of blood to be taken tomorrow and an hour long infusion of something to stir up the greeblies in my blood. With luck we will be home before dark. It would appear that the pickup owners in NC did not take a New Year's resolution to drive even vaguely near the speed limit.  Plenty of arsehole drivers out there though the Nobel prize goes to the guy with the too-big wheels on his Jeep.  I think I would like to be reincarnated as a traffic cop on a mission.
