Absolutely Anything Else

Just arrived home to Hungary after an action packed, shocking, confusing busy one week stay in Las Vegas;

I do not plan on going anywhere for a long time after that long haul;

I feel like I was tossed into a meat grinder.

My husband chose to send me alone which was a bit too much for me;

Had a great time actually driving a car again, got a new Hyundi Venue .

Had all the modern features which I was not used to. Keyless start etc.

Zippy little thing easy to drive.

My family humbled me so much with all the extra love and care they gave me;

My SIL flew all the way from SC to Vegas, boarded her 5 animals at the cost of over $500. for 4 nights;

Her son and his GF had a medical appointment in Vegas which was fell inline with helping me move things into a new storage unit.

My SIL paid for her own room  and a room for 2 nights for her son and his GF.

My niece and great niece flew in from San Fran for 2 nights and stayed with me.

My Vegas friend and her husband helped me more then I can ever repay.

Helped in ways only a trusted friend would.

My cousin Frank, going on 80 was able to take me for a meal and we had a nice chat.

I was overwhelmed by how everyone dropped everything to assist me with some personal matters.

I never knew how much I mattered to people, what a blessing to find out!

Vegas has changed in the past 8 years, people seemed very kind but things looked like they have gotten a bit run down.

Loads of homeless people and people riding on E scooters down long stretches of Hwy.

Looks a bit more 3rd world then I remembered.

Prices were sky high, unreal coming from Hungary and seeing all the extra fees here and there.

I realized I must come into the 21st; century because not having an active credit card now days is not going to work, went and applied for one straight away.

Got approved in 2 mins but without it in hand I ran into allot of difficulties.

Debt and cash no longer work in the US and probably not anywhere.

Resort fees, hidden fees, wow.

Went to the Arte Museum with my nieces, paid $25. parking for just a couple of hours!

Well, I do hope in the end it will be worth it and will will break even in about a year with me changing storage units. Went from paying $318. a month to just  $63. in the same facility and just the next row over from where I was before!

Insane that they could not reduce the rent over the internet for me.

Loads of zombies walking around, druggies just walking into traffic.

Went downtown with my SIL, her son and his GF. At a traffic light a young women was aimless and walking back and forth in traffic, sores all over her mouth legs all wobbly just lost.

It was a bit heartbreaking but I made sure the car doors were locked just the same.

Desperate people walking in the parking lot of my hotel. I never went out at night to stay safe.

It was so lovely to have everyone around, felt very lonely and sad when they had to go home.

My friends little condo in Vegas is an oasis in the desert; They really fixed it up perfect for their needs. Very cute; She had not left her condo since early Dec; put came to my hotel room the last night I was there to say good bye and help me sort some airline matters. Her husband won $100. while he played as we visited in my room. He deserved every penny of it for how much they helped me.

My niece has a place for me if I ever need one, just so heartwarming to know how much they have planned their futures around me.

No idea how or why I deserve so much love and care but it felt it;

It was worth the jet lag to know how loved I am.

Well time to pass out again, need days to rest up before I get back to myself.

Welcome back.   And it's a holiday weekend.   Thankfully, it's 4 days where everyone is off work and not likely to hassle people.     And it's sunny outside. Cherry trees are in bloom.  Still a bit of chill in the air and for some reason, it's windy.

It sounds like you got solid help while over the pond.  It's good to know people can step up when they can.

Did you get a seniors discount at the Arte Museum?  I keep forgetting to ask but luckily I was reminded at one place by the staff.  Good thinking by their end. 

Inexplicable they wouldn't let you have the same storage unit for the same, cheaper money. I guess new contract vs renewal, some silly rules like that.   If it's a chain store kind of arrangement, they won't have any flexibility. 

We keep all our stuff in Mrs F's grandad's place which is a dumping ground for everyone in that side of the family - we really need to clear it all out.  Now we've got the MIL's place as well. I reckon we could clear it all out of Grandad's to the MIL's.  We think we had an attempted burglary there - windows were open but there was furniture jammed up so they couldn't open it fully.  Not that there's anything there.     

I've spent 3 days fixing our diesel car. Well, not all hours, mainly a couple of hours each afternoon .  I finished up at 6pm last night.   I need to give it a once over and see if it's fit for a road test.  I am not an expert mechanic and I'm becoming a bit dodgy physically - bloody tremor means I should use my left hand more.  And I'm right handed so it's a bit unnatural.  If the car is still broken, it'll go to the mechanics as they have better expertise and diagnostics.
