Well, I am excited to hear that quite a few people are reading this blog. Today is a COLD day in Lexington. What's the deal...it is fall..not winter yet. Even though it is Monday once again, I did have a good weekend. Friday night I went out to dinner and a movie with my lovely roomies, Lisa and Bridger (not listed in an particular order:-). I helped them procrastinate from studying for their pharmacy exams, or we can reframe it to I assisted them with refreshing their minds so they could study better. We watch "Under the Tuscan Sun" which was wonderful, and I give it five stars. I admit that it is "a girl movie", but it was not just the typical love story, but rather the plot was more about a women's search for independence and happiness in the beautiful Italian countryside. And, yes, I now want to move to Tuscany, or at least go visit it..shocking I know.:-)

Then on Saturday after watching the sad UK game, Kathy (close friend from home) came to visit from the weekend. We just relaxed and hung out at the house. It is always nice to catch up with Kathy and to hear about her teaching adventures. Then I worked last night with the kiddies at mental health facility, which was an adventure as usual. Have you ever had a small child climb up your chest and do a flip? Funtimes in the mental health field. Speaking of mental well-being, I finally went to the doctor to see about the number of funky symptoms I have been experiencing, and while the verdict is still out as to what is going on with me, they seem to think it has to do with my stress level. Suppose I need to work on those stress-relieving coping skills of mine. Oh, well...have a wonderful Monday everyone.
