Wow bizi it sounds like you're in for a grand ole' weekend! It sounds like you are in for a lot of fun, I am so happy you're getting to go out and cut a rug, it's really nice to have a reason to get dressed up (even if it's for a festival, why not do your makeup and hair and feel GOOD about how you look?) and be around people without having to be the center of attn. Have a great time!

I wish work was going better for you Mari, I hate that feeling of being exhausted like that from mental activity, it's awful. I was feeling like that for months because of not using my CPAP machine, I would wake up fatigued and tired almost like I didn't sleep much at all. The past two nights though I have been using it again (couldn't for awhile because I had the wrong sized mask and then after I got the right one I got a series of slin problems right where the mask lays so I wasn't able to use it then, so being able to use it again finally is AWESOME!) for the past two nights and I feel so much better.

I hope things get a little easier for you soon Mari, I was dragging butt a few weeks ago before we started walking daily, and finally the feeling good part of exercising kicked in. Not sure why it took about three weeks but there ya go, at least it happened and I felt good enough to add to my work out load by starting up wtih the Total Gym again. It's been over a year and we've used it for spurts of time, only last time it ended because we were living in that tiny apartment and it was so hard to set up the Gym, now it's a matter of maintaining motivation.

Best wishes to you in your battle to reclaim your energy Mari, I know it's not easy and a constant struggle sometimes. But I know you can beat it, just like I am. Hope everyone else is doing well this weekend. Our plans are to wash the car, pull out the pool, walk and play basketball. Hopefully in the next two weeks we'll get Jackie's trike bike and add that to our variety of outdoor activities to offer the little man. I am sure he will love it and it's going to be blue too!

That is the one we'll be getting him so hopefully Jack won't have any trouble putting it all together since they will ship it right to the house. I am so excited about it and so is Jackie. We might get to see Mom tomorrow if her hubby finds someone else to go to a Bike expo with instead of bringing her along so hopefully that will work out too. If not we'll see her next weekend.

Hope you're doing well Nikko, missing you!
