Had two 'mental health' weekends:  Went to see my friend Sara Goodwin at her very first book signing, in Bedford, In, and took a friend with me. Bought several books (hers included!), then we detoured to the French Lick Casino for an hour, before heading home. I dropped E off at her house, then drove to K's house to meet the rest of the family, and ended up watching the Live Action version of Aladdin.

Super Bowl was AMAZING!  WTG KC Chiefs!!!

Then the following weekend, I took granddaughter A with me to Lafayette, and we ate dinner at Red Lobster. The next day, she and I drove to Peoria, IL to see friends at Quad Con, and to scope out the possibility of applying next year.

Finances suffered a bit, but was able to juggle things around.

Depression lifted, and I was definitely more cheerful at work:)

Even started my newsletter!
