i've been detoxcing...

well...i thought i'd finally get an update out for anyone interested. life isn't as exciting or as interesting now that i'm back in the states. i'm getting into the routine of work, school, spending time with friends and family...and just becoming used to the pace of life here. my stress level is down, my voice isn't as hoarse anymore and i don't cough anymore in the morning.

i was able to get up to ashland to watch my brother race before the season ended. i went over to a rock concert in minneapolis. spent some time down in stevens point with some friends. took my niece shopping for clothes for my great nephew. AND the latest news....i adopted two guinea pigs. the piggies are boys named eddie and freddie. i adopted them from a guinea pig rescue organization. the previous owners were interested in them for the first month, but after they bought horses for the boys....the piggies were left in a basement for a year.

this weekend is apple fest up in bayfield. amy, myron, erv and i are planning on heading up for the day. i'm excited. hopefully, the weather will be good. beyond this...i don't have much planned outside of daily activities here. i will do my best to keep you all updated in a more timely fashion.
