To those who were so concerned in the comments on Sunday – thanks I’m 99% better now. The last 1% is the fact that I’m waiting for the dehydration zits to go away. Water is the only thing that keeps my skin sane – and nearly 24 hours without any really wreaked some havoc on it.

Sunday morning my Mom & Dad came by to take me out for brunch. I’ve been a bit too busy to take a weekend to go visit them lately, so they figured they’d come to me. They’re sweet like that – and a greasy breakfast was exactly what I needed.

And now it’s Monday, the sun is shining, and I just found out that I’ll be getting a very nice bonus at the end of March. The numbers aren’t finalized yet, but I have a narrow range of possibilities, which means my vacation plans for the not-so-distant future are now going to be a reality. As soon as the cheque is in my hot little hands (March 24th) I’m buying plane tickets.
