reading and enjoying everyone's posts:

@~christina: That's so funny that your dogs get excited when they see the suitcases! How cute that they like to travel! Safe journey tonight!

@birddancer: Glad you and your husband make up quickly after spats. All couples fight.

@innerzone: So sorry to hear of the rough time your son is having. So glad you are there for him! Sending good vibes.

@marcusaurelius: Sorry to hear today didn't go well but i was happy to hear about the good time you had yesterday going out for breakfast with your co-workers. I hope you have more of these fun times!

@wander: Sounds like you are doing some good therapeutic work. Good on ya!

@bluebicycle: Hope your hotel quiets down and you are able to get some quality zzzs.

My news is good. I broke into the 1400s in ratings in scrabble for the first time! It's funny: Now that i'!!ve abandoned studying and just play by my wits i am doing better. I am the top-rated player in my division! Other than that i have been enjoying spending long quiet days with my dog in our cozy home. Had a stomach ache and headache today but it's not the end of the world.
