It's the end of my break from work and I don't know if I'm feeling rejuvenated or not.  I STILL have some papers to check that I have been putting off for about two weeks now.  It's a new year and I kind of feel like I'm going to be alone forever.  There are no prospects in the guy department--that's what I get for living in a small town.  However ( Read more... )
