Good morning friends. I do apologize for being away but I haven't had a spare moment in at least a week. I'm sucking pretty bad on the challenge (which you know tears me apart) but I simply have not had the time for anything but work. Excuses, yes. But trust me when I tell you they are valid. I'd much rather be on the treadmill or outside.

I didn't sleep well last night and am not feeling up to par today but I promised my mother I'd go sing tonight (she loves when I sing ...and I love making her happy ) but after that it's Tylenol PM for me and hopefully a good night of sleep. Russell and I have already talked about some long walks together outside so hopefully we'll get to that tomorrow. Just need to schedule it into my day.
