Just rambling...

I confess, I've been home since I left work at noon on Tuesday. I've been having lots of problems with my GI system, and since I've been home I've been sleeping about 14 hours per day. I'm debating whether I should go to work tomorrow, or just write-off the work week and start over on Monday.

I put in a request last week for vacation time the whole month of July. If it's approved, I'll fly to NB, rent a car, and Mom and I will hit the road. I haven't been to the maritimes in July since forever because I usually include a Progress Club convention in the trip, and they're always in September or October.

Speaking of which, the mini-convention for the Western Region is being held at the Red Deer lodge at the end of May this year, I'll be there for my birthday. The National Convention will be in Kelowna, BC so I'll probably need a week for travel time through the mountains.

Yawn

I've started and half-read a number of books including Lisey's Story by Stephen King, World Without End by Ken Follett, waiting in the wings is The Appeal by Robert Ludlum. People of the Lakes by Gear,and I'm currently two-thirds through Stephenie Meyer's second book in the Twilight Saga: New Moon . I breezed through about a half-dozen Nora Robert/J.D.Robb/Iris Johansen novelettes in the past month. I'm having the same problems concentrating at work, going through my usual and seemingly unavoidable SAD sysptoms for the past 6 weeks or so. I've upped my dosage of Vitamines, expecially "D". I'm really beginning to believe that I should take the month of February off and go to a hot place with lots of sun and surf. There must be some place that won't cost a fortune if I'm willing to cook and clean up after myself.

But I do have a party to go to Saturday night that should be a lot of fun.

It's the Family Day long-weekend, and I've got the house to myself as LeeAnne and Al are house-sitting for a friend. It looked so dreary outside that I didn't even bother to take my pj's off, a good day to stay inside and relax, read and watch movies.

Red Deer was cold and I had trouble finding where I needed to be with their strange street patterns.

I'm glad I got a chance to visit with Edmond and Josephine. They're doing as well as can be expected. Charles was there with his little daughter, Olivia. She's really sweet. And I got to meet Lydia and her husband. They're all taking good care of Jo.
