WHAT A SHOCKER-THE COST OF AIR FARES!!

WOW!!  IT HAS BEEN LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR SINCE I LAST TRAVELED, AND THE PRICE OF TICKETS HAS NEARLY DOUBLED!!  I HAVE USED EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK (I USE TO BE A TRAVEL AGENT), TO LOWER THE FARES, BUT IT WAS TO NO AVAIL.  ALMOST $900. DOLLARS FOR TWO.  WHEN MIKE AND I LAST WENT TO CA. IT WAS LESS THAN $500. FOR BOTH OF US!!  ANY HOW THAT IS WHAT I WILL BE DOING TODAY AFTER MY EXERCISE CLASS.  LOOKING AT MORE AIR FARES.  I DID HAVE A REALLY PLEASANT END YESTERDAY TO WHAT STARTED OUT VERY POORLY AND SADLY.  I HAD MY MEETING AND WE ARE SPLITTING UP BECAUSE OUR TERRITORY IS TOO BIG FOR US TO COVER WELL.  SO WE SAID GOOD BYE TO SEVERAL DEAR FRIENDS-AT LEAST FOR A WHILE.  WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN AT ALL THE ASSEMBLIES AND CONVENTIONS, BUT IT WILL SEEM STRANGE AT MEETINGS FOR A WHILE NOT SEEING THEIR BEAMING FACES.  WE WILL BE HAVING A GOING AWAY PARTY ON SAT. THE 16TH, AND THAT WILL GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF OUR DEAR FRIENDS.  WELL I SLEPT WELL LAST NIGHT, AND AM FEELING OK THIS AM.  I WAS STILL A LITTLE OFF YESTERDAY NOT SURE WHY.  I THINK I MIGHT BE TAKING IN TOO MUCH SALT AND IT IS AFFECTING MY MENIER'S.  I WILL HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFUL AND WATCH WHAT I EAT.  I NEED TO GET BETTER AT DOING THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE.  I JUST LACK ANY MOTIVATION THESE DAYS AND DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING..  I SEEM TO DO THE BARE MINIMUM, AND THAT IS IT.  I DON'T EVEN WANT TO COOK FOR MYSELF THESE DAYS, SO I WILL EAT A FROZEN MEAL OR SOME LEFT OVERS MY SISTER VICKIE GIVES ME.  I LOVE DAYS WHEN WE GET TOGETHER, AND MAKE A MEAL.  I WILL USUALLY MAKE THE SALAD AND A VEGGIE, AND VICKIE WILL DO THE REST.  THAT'S SO MUCH BETTER TO ME THAN EATING ALONE.  I HAVE A FRIEND THAT I HAVE KNOW SINCE SHE WAS 16, AND SHE NEVER MARRIED.  I NEVER REALLY KNEW HOW SHE FELT WHEN SHE USE TO SAY SHE HATED TO EAT ALONE, BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND.  WELL, I NEED TO GET READY FOR MY EXERCISE CLASS-MY SISTER ALREADY CALLED AND IS WAITING FOR ME.  I HOPE YOUR WEEK END WILL BRING LOTS OF SMILES-TILL MONDAY-JUST ME
