Hey, A,

I took the day off today to have my car registered. That is, I needed to renew my registration in person because the current registration expired today. I considered taking only half a day, but since we start at 7, I'd need to be in by 10, and I wasn't sure how that would work out. The DMV is closed on Mondays and typically very busy on Tuesdays, so I thought it best to take the whole day off. Because I also had to get blood work done for an appointment next week, I figured I could fill in the extra time. Indeed. Especially since I got a migraine at the lab.

I'm sure it was a combination of stress relief, the bright lights in the lab, and the weather. After a stretch of high pressure weather I was due for a migraine with the drop in barometric pressure. (It's been raining all day.) Throw in the mix that I was taking a sick day off from school, I was bound to bring one on. Oh well. At least when I go back to school tomorrow, I can be on my game, no longer distracted by my car registration hanging over my head.

W is on his way to the season opener of the Celtics, at which they will be hanging the Championship banner from last season. It's an exciting game and he'll see lots of high profile people, so he's in a good mood...which, as you know is rare these days. I'm happy for him. Any distraction is good for him at this point while he waits for something to come through. And honestly, it's good for me too to get a night off from him--good mood or bad, especially since I'm not 100 percent.

Speaking of time off, I wonder how you are enjoying these few days with J away. Have you done anything special --besides not walk around on eggshells? ha ha... Hope to hear from you later today.

Love, Barb
