The pond photo is so peaceful, Alan.

The rain came in sideways at one point and my sliding glass doors are a mess! BUT THAT IS FINE WITH ME Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! it's worth it to get rain.

Sorry Marie...i know you need it!

It's nice to get away from my boss too, he had me so stressed out yesterday!! Over something completely ass-nine and stupid. Instead of resolving the problem he made it worse, against the recommendation of all 5 of his team members. Oh well, what can you do. He'll figure it out soon enough, when the walls come crashing down on his world.

I even came home and soaked in a warm bath, with a glass....ok 2 glasses of wine, OH ALRIGHT, and the whole bottle of wine, and some incense going to help calm me down!!! It has been years and years since I used the bath tub. Always take a shower.

RE stress: I know a couple of good masseurs/masseuses should you need one... They burn incense too.
I kept hoping for the karma thing with my boss... no luck.
Well, the good news is you have a method to calm down that works for you.
