Its been a few weeks since I have posted. Why? Well, some of you know that July 28 last year was the date I lost my husband of 19 years. I was a bit down about that anniversary approaching. So, I did several things, including keeping busy during that time. I took care of my graduation petition corrections, filed my financial aid appeals, and starting cleaning up old paperwork and junk. It was actually very therapeutic. Yes, I found things that reminded me of our past together, but getting rid of 20 year old paperwork (yeah, I know) was rather liberating.

I also took a trip to the Bay Area, and volunteered at the San Jose Grand Prix on Friday, working with other members of DMAT CA-11 and CA-6. Worked my "regular" irregular job at Raley Field on Saturday. Then I took off for Salt Lake City, UT, to see my daughter Diana. I sure miss seeing her face every day at home (Hint, hint, Diana... :-) ). I brought her a lot of her stuff, and made sure she was doing ok. I am actually still here in SLC tonight, heading to Reno tomorrow for an end to my mini vacation.
