I’m writing from Kitty Hawk, NC.  I’m on vacation with two of my married friends - between us, we have 5 kids and Gina is pregnant with a soon-to-be-6th. 

I spent last weekend in Hot Springs, VA.  Since everything “began” I’ve done nothing but work, stress, fall apart, cry, spaz, work, and stress.  In between there have been moments of happiness but I have not taken more than an hour or two at a time to relax.  Being up in the mountains with crappy cell reception and a laptop that spent most of the 48 hours in my suitcase was just what I needed, plus a massage and a kayaking trip on beautiful Lake Moomaw. 

I slept a lot, too.  I also found that Sam Snead’s Tavern carries Barboursville Brut - so I was a happy camper.  When I die, my heaven will look like The Homestead.
