how do I ask a question?

Hi all,

We left Florida June 10th and made it back to Wisconsin on the 12th.  We had a one-night layover in Green Bay where we loaded up my husband's truck and my SUV and off we went.  Unfortunately, I had one of my little "spells" where I got lost on our way back.  I have been driving that route for almost 30 years and all of a sudden, I "woke" up and had no idea where I was.  Luckily, I saw a road sign and recognized it - I was miles out of my way.  From there I was able to go back and figure out how to get to our lake home.  When I have these "spells" it's always been when I'm tired and under pr

Really busy week at work, going on 10 days without a break. So looking forward to the weekend.  Rather worn out.  Hard to keep up with things working 12 hours a day.  Something had to give so it was housework and my exercise.  We did eat quite well this week, low carb and clean.
