Hey Darks. Thanks for thinking about me. I'm at the declining end of my two week leave. Have barely left the house, but have gotten a few things done. Not nearly so much as I'd hoped, but the whole thing has been a little depressing. I was supposed to be in Colorado this week, but between the unplanned trip to Kentucky last month and trying to save up to pay the taxes on the new car, never mind the cost of gas and a few other state generated inconveniences, there was no way I could manage it financially.

On the positive side, I have actually been getting enough sleep, which never happens when I'm working. Did go out dancing Saturday night. That was fun. And something else realy cool....one of my friends stopped by on her way to work the other day and dropped off an envelope. Inside were gift certificates for 3 1-hour massages at a local spa. Then, as luck would have it, another friend of mine won a $50 gift certificate in a drawing for a spa/salon in Fayetteville and he gave it to me....so, tomorrow I have an 11 AM appointment for a manicure and pedicure and an afternoon appointment for a massage. Now, if my dad would just win the lottery like he keeps talking about....
