Blue Sky Euphoria

In the past few days I bought a new car and drove it to Santa Fe. I was very glad to have to company of my friend Janet. I had to have a crash course (so to speak) in the features of the new car while driving. When a trucker kept running up beside us, then falling back and turning his lights on and off on a lonely stretch of dark highway we talked ourselves into believing he wanted to kidnap us, but in reality, I didn't have my lights on - and he was trying to warn us!

We never mastered the navigation system while driving those 700 miles, but the dealership in Santa Fe was most helpful.

We wandered through a few galleries on Canyon Road, but my heart wasn't in it. Too much like work. I haven't even taken my camera out of the case. I'm truly taking a break from all that.

Yesterday was spa day. We made the long drive to Ojo Caliente to soak in the outdoor mineral pools, and topped it off with a massage and salt scrub. We felt the effects of drinking gallons of lithium water from a natural spring, and left there with a sense of euphoria and well being. I fell asleep on the couch early and right now I feel great.

We have a big pot of chicken soup on the stove, I'm going to get the newspaper to see what gallery openings are happening tonight, and all's right with my world.
