Good morning,  mis amigos y amigas&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />I called in sick yesterday morning but went in about noon.....felt a bit better and just hated the thought of using vacation time&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  It was quiet and all I did was hang out with my RN colleague and secretary.  Had stopped off at my favorite Japanese restaurant en route and picked up lunch for us so eating killed a good hour.<br /><br />My insurance company called and I will get &#036;5000 for the van, not the &#036;3000 I was anticipating.  That is very good news - in spite of my boys telling me I don&#39;t need another van, I think I&#39;ll still get one.  I like sitting up high, I like having space for my suitcases and walker, and I always end up chauffeuring people.  So what if it isn&#39;t glamourous.  When I win the lottery, I&#39;ll have a Jag as my second car.<br /><br />This morning, I woke up feeling the best I&#39;ve felt since the accident.  No headache right now, at least....still stiff and a little sore but it&#39;s not so bad.  I did take a Vicodin when I went to bed so that might be the secret.  I have that nurse aversion to medication but figured I was being stupid...and, goodness, I feel so much better and slept considerably better.<br /><br />I&#39;m going to try to get out and check a few car dealers today...unfortunately, the ones with the best prices are 30 miles distant - outside the San Francisco area....but definitely worth the drive.<br /><br />Happy Saturday, one and all.
