Hi there everyone. I spent the week in training at one of the most exquisite hotels in southwest Virginia. Indeed, I cannot begin to tell you what a fine and dandy week it has been. I completed half of my coursework, and scored very well on my exam. I only missed one point; so, if I were being graded as in school, my score for the exam would be an "A".

I came home last night to Sam and my sweet animals. I was homesick for them. I find that I appreciate them all much more when I have returned from someplace; and they seem to appreciate me much more as well. We talked alot within the group this past week, about taking needed mental health breaks. This is most important for my life, and this time away from the usual routine is a much needed break for me. I am refreshed and rejuvinated. I have been spoiled rotten all week by a fine hotel staff, and I am most grateful for the spoiling.

I return to the hotel tomorrow afternoon. I will check in by 4pm. and begin classes again at 9am. sharp on Monday morning. I have really missed all of you. I don't have a laptop. I do have access to the internet for emails only. The system is set up in the hotel lobby for email only. I cannot even access my own weblog. I have been going through withdraw all week to find out what all my blogging buds are up to. Gonna' do a little reading tonight. I hope to catch up more with you all when my training is completed and I am home again next week. Until then, peace out my friends!
