Hey babe, I tried calling you yesterday afternoon on my way home from work around 4:30 p.m. but didn't get an answer. I would have tried again, but I have been crazy sick and I pretty much passed out as soon as I got home and stayed passed out until I had to get up this morning for work. I am planning on leaving work early today; I just don't have the energy to do much of anything today. I'll give you a call either on my way home or when I get home. Should be between 11 a.m. and Noon. (((HUGS)))
