To all those who have been sending complaints that this has not been updated I apologize. I have been very busy traveling home to Kalamazoo, home, to Toronto, home, Kalamazoo and home again. It has been a great three weeks and I am starting to prepare for the journey home to the real world. Christmas was good, then Sarah got sick :-( . We spent New Year's in Toronto with cousin Doris and husband Craig.
While in Toronto we took in the play "Snow White and the Group of Seven", a very hilarious parody on the Disney story starring several Canadian Idols and a Canadian rock star. I got so wrapped up in the "Canadian Idols" that when reading a magazine article I said "American Idol Fantasaia.... Sarah - do you think she was on Canadian Idol?" Apparently I have lost brain cells in the cold.
What else...I have had 3 panic attacks since I have been home, that's been interesting. I haven't had one in a very long time, there seems to be no immediate trigger but my mom made me order this software I have used in threapy before. It shold help when I get home and get it set up. It is a program that teaches you how to calm yourself and stay centered.
I just got a call from Donna, my friend from work whom I am traveling to Hawaii with this spring. Her husband has orders to leave the 13th for Iraq and she is pretty down. I will be glad to get back and be there to support her through this next year. It is in the 80's down there so if any of you have the winter blues book your tickets I have lots of space for sleeping.
Monday I go back to work so the stories will resume and this will get more exciting instead of just reading about my vacation. Happy New Year!
