My parents are in Mexico. They left early this morning. I am hoping and praying everything went smoothly and continues to go smoothly for them.

I am quite a bit jealous. It would be wonderful to feel the sun on my face and the warm sand between my toes. I think back to when I was laid off from my old job. Someone had said to me, “Donna, take a vacation- go somewhere warm and just veg for a week.” I laughed. How could I go on vacation when my whole world was upside down? And now I look back and wish I had taken a trip. Maybe it’s time for me to go somewhere? It feels like ages since I went on a trip to a place not within a 100 mile radius of where I live.

All and all, it was a good weekend. I got a lot of stuff accomplished. I had a period-induced mini-freak out this afternoon but I am feeling better and quite a bit foolish. Things happen when you got ovaries. Otherwise, everything else was good. Got to see the movie Reno 911 which I guiltily enjoyed. I audited my November commissions. I had a lovely dinner with Robert at an Italian restaurant. The food was crappy but the ambiance and company was wonderful. I spent time with Li Li and Bo. I talked on the phone with Audgie. Yeah, it was a good weekend. Except for the freak out.
