Just a Few More Hours

And this year will be over.

There is so much to be grateful for this year. Mom has not been sick AT ALL, and that, in and of itself is huge, and enough to last me a long, long time. Got to see Cas more than I thought I would, and I'm extremely grateful for that. Things are, as ever, tenuous financially, but we are still in one piece.

I love my husband, and he loves me. He bent over backward to make sure that everyone in this family had a great Christmas and did a fantastic job of it too. Nobody's complaining, and today 4 DVDs showed up for me: Little Women, The Usual Suspects, Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil and Apocalypse Now (Redux. 4 of my very favotite movies. I can't believe how thoughtful Gabe is, and how blessed I am to have such a good guy who can put up with my endless and interminable shit.

Nobody that I know is sincerely suffering to the best of my knowledge. Although I am worried about Dena and Taylor, I'm sure that they're not going to starve. I hope that Karen comes through her radiation therapy ok too. That's got me a little worried to say the least. I barely even know Karen & Connie, yet I feel so aligned to them and so close. Joanne's blood pressure and edema seems to be under better control, so there's another thing to be happy about.

I saw the world's tallest buildings come crashing to the ground and that still makes me very, very sad. But there was, as always, goodness that emerged from that too. The was in Afghanistan is separating American families and killing Afghan ones and that is no good at all. Our president has decided to wage a war that can never be won and will eventually divide this nation in ways that will make VietNam look like a cake walk. What fools these mortals be.

I do worry about my career and the future of real estate in general. I wonder how long Joanne will want to keep working if the going gets rough economically. We had a great year. $14 million plus in closed transactions. No complaints, but the path ahead is foggy at best.

I sure am tired of feeling tired and wish I knew WHY i feel tired all the time. Right now, I could lay my head down and sleep for hours. And I had a good night's sleep. 8 hours, for Heaven's sake.

Soon I'll be kissing 2001 good bye and all will be new in two thousand and two. New good. New bad. New, new - nu?

'Nuff said.
