Reminiscing

I finally went to the doctor yesterday. He gave me antibiotics and a steriod inhaler, and I am feeling better today than I have in a week! And, it's a beautiful sunny day.

I don't know if it's been the effect of the gloomy weather, feeling crummy and unable to get a deep breath or just sick of being lonely, but I've been rather homesick lately.

Things I miss about Texas:

• Mi Cocina, especially their salsa!
• Being close to family, close enough to drive down for a last-minute weekend getaway
• Having a multitude of friends to call on
• Having a "best friend"
  
• My motorcycle
• Bluebonnets
• Blue Bell ice cream
• Shiner Bock beer
• Wide, open spaces
• Knowing my way around
  

Things I don't miss about Texas:

• Driving, especially in traffic
• The persistent heat
• Having my vote not count because of the messed up electoral college system
• The arrogant belief of so many that Texas is the best/only place to be, even though they've never set foot outside it's boundaries
• Huge belt buckles. Really, what's the point?
