mini vacation 2011

so darrel (the boyfriend) and i went on a little mini vacation! we spent a few days in stafford, virginia with my cousin, roxanne, and her husband, monty. we took the bolt bus down thursday night, and friday morning, we hit the ground running. 


chick-fil-a for breakfast, massages at massage envy, bowling, lunch at cheeseburger in paradise, an impromptu shoot, and a nap. we had every intention of going to see captain america, but darrel and i were knocked out, so we drove to redbox and got come movies: lincoln lawyer and rango.








saturday, aunt mil came over to surprise me, and we all squeezed into the sentra and drove for about four hours to virginia beach. tons of traffic! i got a light tan, we grabbed some pizza, walked the strip, and headed back to stafford.










sunday, monty made pancakes for breakfast. my cousins interrogated darrel for about half an hour, then we hit the road. hopped on the bus in dc heading for nyc.

i had a great time. i really needed that little getaway. i was damn close to pain free, which made this vacation a lot better. 

i tried to stick to my routine with my meds as much as possible. i woke up every morning between 5:30 and 6a to take the first savella pill. i usually take the last pill between 7:30 and 8p, but we were never home at that time, and i never took the pack of pills with me. friday night, i napped through my normal pill taking time; i woke up two hours later to take it, then ended up staying awake and watching movies for another five hours. 

and i took lots naps; between the buses, driving, and that one nap on friday, i got at least eight or nine hours of napping in. 

but none the less, we had fun, and for the first time in a while, i wasn't worried about pain.
