Not Much

I woke up this morning at 2:22. Yes, that's right 2:22 A.M. I always have a bit of a panic when I wake up like that - like, what's happening, is something wrong...I lay there awake for about an hour and finally was able to fall back asleep. But then again I woke up at 5:50...Tim was supposed to be up at 6:00 - so I woke him up and got up. Made coffee, took the dog out, took the garbage out and am waiting for the sun to come up at least sort of so I can go for a walk.

I'm not looking forward to the shortening daylight. I really hate the darkness and feel like I have to hibernate. I'm forcing myself to try to find things to do in the evenings. I refuse to sit in my house and watch television all night.

I'm worried...worried about whether the wind will blow my leyland cypress trees over; about whether or not Lesley is doing okay with her teaching job in Taiwan; how Andy is doing with his class work and his music; how long I'll have to wait before I can make Andy's reservations and how much it's going to cost me to pay for Andy to come home for Thanksgiving; worried about Tim and the deal he's in the middle of! I'm worried about the economy, worried about my American Express wine bill (!!!!!!!!) and, so many other things. The thing, I can't do anything about any of those things - frustrating but real!

Weekend was okay - just okay. Cold and rainy on Friday - Tim was home and we stuck around the house reading and working. I did go to yoga and it was awesome. Saturday some errands and then light dinner on the deck...then, Tim turned on the tv and it was all over. By 8:30 I was ready for bed!!!!!!!!!! I hate that. Sunday I went shopping, Tim played tennis. I'm reading a fabulous book - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - spent most of the day yesterday in the book. Only a little more but it has been a fun read.

Walk this morning - only 2 miles - but maybe it will clear my head, yoga and maybe lunch with Suzanne, maybe meeting with partners on Mango Tree. Tomorrow ONE meeting with Kristi, Not for Sale Campaign meeting tomorrow night. Wednesday meeting with Phil, Pattersons.

Nuff said, I guess.
