DAY BEFORE VACATION

this is a day that is traditionally very hard for me to stay focused. today i did not have that problem. that may be because the entire day was very normal, or because we do not leave for several more days, or this is not a big vacation. we leave in three days to go visit in-laws. we will be staying at yvonne's apt. and spending time with her and ann, but we will also see some of our old friends from when we lived up there. i also hope to get two runs in, they are both around six miles long. yvonne is hoping to play some tennis, and she may want to run some of the trails around there, so we will see what really happens. actually, one of the runs in not very exciting, it is just to get in the miles. the other run is around cumberland head and two of the miles are along the lake! i am beginning to get excited about that. i am hoping to have fun in plattsburgh. i actually think that i am more excited about this trip than peter, and that may be a first. he is always more excited to see his sisters than i.

work today was uneventful. i got to check patients in, and i always enjoy that. dr rocha's last patient was interesting. her son had an earlier appointment, and as usual, she was late, so her son had to see someone else. she is always nice to my face, but always rude, argumentative, and manipulative on the phone. her children are always sweet, but i do not trust her. but then my day was over, then my work week was over! i am done work for almost a week and a half!

i saw teri today, and that went very well. i like her, and i think we will work well together. she again reassured me that she is not going to change anything that i am not ready and willing to change. i do trust her to have my best interest in mind. it didn't matter today anyway because i am doing well. she gave me her cell phone number, and i told her my goal is to never use it.

i stopped in at the cheesecake factory and fleet feet on the way home the first for obvious reasons, and the later because i needed stuff for the trip, and they have no running stores in plattsburgh, and i'm not sure about montreal. i am also not sure if we would be able to get up to montreal.

vacation starts now, well soon.
