I left work early today - I had barely put in two hours before my stomach started feeling queasy and my head was began to throb like it does before I get a migraine. A no-brainer to go home, but still I felt bad ( Read more... )

Tomorrow's my birthday. Well technically in an hour or so it'll be my birthday. I should be happy, but I've been thinking about Cookie and how much I miss her all day long.

It's Monday evening and I really have so much to do, but couldn't resist taking some time to write in my journal. I spent last weekend in Cloquet and it was so nice to hook up with my group of girls again. I say girls because, really, that's what we are when we're together.
