Summer is over. Last weekend, I heard this beautiful Arabic version of Autumns Leaves. It made my heart ache. Next month marks my one year anniversary of living in Kansas. Wow.
It’s time to bundle up. It’s sad when I start think 50 degrees is warm in Topeka. This week, I had to use the ice scrapper on my windshield before leaving work…surprising other people driving into the lot that my little Toyota had to spend the night there….with no clue what I do.
I’ve had a miserable few days but I’m doing better now.
Now I’m being selfish with my time. Why break my back and risk my sanity?
Lately, I was having problems falling asleep…letting my mind loop over To Do Lists and office BS – over and over again. That’s not worth making myself sick and it was made clear to me that other people don’t give a shit. The extra time I’ve spent away from my family is not valued by anybody but myself.
So I’m taking it back and wallowing in happy home time.
It’s nice to spend more time with my hubby and puppy. I don’t feel little anymore. I love cuddling with my Daisy on the couch and evading her smelly kisses. OK – I usually let her get a few licks in on my nose. We just finished up two episodes of Dharma and Greg – her favorite syndicated sitcom so far.
I’m layering up with all the love and best wishes from Mark, my family and friends. That and dreams of home will keep me warm as the chill and rain continue to fall over this part of Kansas. I’ll do my best to stay positive…and if need be, I’ll numb the cruel words and actions with cocktails and puppy kisses.
