Great photo! And you are right, some days you just need to get away. Hope the weekend helped in refreshing and restoring.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

You skipped dialysis?

Oh well, atleast you had a great time.

Just don't end up in the er and tell them that you skipped. They hate treating people that skip.
