I'm here
I just feel like I have nothing of interest to say. I have seen a therapist twice in the last two weeks and she's been quite helpful in just giving me perspective and giving me tools to manage my stress.
My breathing is almost back to normal. I mowed the back of the yard (2/3 of the mowing) the other day and didn't feel at all put out by it. I was quite glad that it didn't take me two hours to recover from mowing!
I finished reading The Unthinkable which is a great book. It does make one a bit nervous. But I really think the information is good. Just don't read it right before bedtime.
I've been working on the lobster quilt. Lately I feel like I've spent more time unsewing than sewing, but I'm making progress, so it's all good. Seam ripping is kind of like editing but less painful in some ways.
In other news, it is Yom Kippur tomorrow and I will be thinking about how I can do a better job in the New Year.
Oh, and I heard some woman from Florida say she was terrified at the thought of Barak Obama being president. Part of me wants to say, "good, you know how I've felt for the last 8 years" and part of me is totally mystified. The man talking about women's issues up the wazoo during the debates (according to some analysis). I'm terrified of four more years of Republican control. Look at how great things are going now:P
In further news, I am getting stuff done around the house. I feel it's adequate, but not enough. I need to get control of the stuff. I will try to do some purging next week. DD1's drawer is bursting it has too many clothes.
Oh, and DD1 loves her princess velcro sneakers, although she looked like she was limping a little this afternoon when I picked her up. If she says she's happy with them, that's good enough for me. Now I can only hope that picking out clothes the night before and having velcro sneakers will make all mornings as pleasant as this morning was.
