ISLH: That was uplifting! The sun is shining brightly, the house is warm - nary a cloud in the sky. If I stay indoors it won't bother me. I'll deal with the YUCK tommorrow when I go back to work. The thing is - I only actually go in one day a week (Mondays) for a couple of hours. Yes, I run the place but I do most of it from home and on my pc - can be done anywhere. Next week is Spring Break here so I get that week off. I even dreamed last night I was flying home but returning the very next day. Hmmm...

But there is so much to do. I forgot how messy I left my craft room. My suitcases are so full of my hobby stuff - it will take forever to unpack and organize. And the mail - well, that's another story - I got started but of course - just opened the fun stuff!

I can't imagine my ex's life being good. He is married to controlling maggot and can't change his clothes without permission, never mind go to the store or take his kids away for a weekend. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. And I DO! (Well, except going back to Florida and who knows?) I actually spent much less this year than usual (mostly because Ashley was not with me). Ashley's last min trip was SO cheap. I paid $69 each way for her flights, she shared my room. I was on the dining plan and unable to eat all the meals so she and Josh ate what I couldn't (in any restaurant in Disney - how cool is that?), my friends left me lots of unused park tickets that would expire from our baton twirling event so she had unlimited free use of the Disney parks and she used her own money for the things she wanted to buy. Yes - I had her there for 4 days for under $150!

Now I have to start into my "TO DO" list. I also need to wake up. My kitties have cuddled me so much. I don't think they want me to do that again for a while. But I'm going to research a 6 to 8 week trip next year.
