Surprise call!!

What a surprise when I answered my cell today (which I shouldn't have done since I was in the middle of a meeting)....Kelsie!!!!!!!!

She got a cell phone and the call was pretty cheap. Now that she's in Florence her access to the internet is not great. Plus, her friends are in apartments all over the place, so she "needed" texting to communicate with them.

She sounded very good, happy, and said that Florence is "amazing". The food is "too good...I'm going to gain weight", she loves her apartment that she shares with 3 other girls, and she is planning trips to see the sights. She likes her classes-her one art class they go all over the city and sketch and paint...she said that tourists take their photos all the time!! What a hoot. Another class they go all over the city to see buildings and such. She said that it is great.

It sure was the boost that I needed. Work is very stressful right now, and I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Working extra hours (without pay), extra day next week, and can't seem to get done what needs to be done. This time of year is always bad...I just have to keep telling myself that!

I miss my dad....we were out to dinner tonight when a lady my age was with her dad...who was going slow with his walker...and I just wanted Dad to be there, too!
