Wow…I have a lot of catching up to do. It’s the kind of catching up that requires me to just sit down and carve out the time that I need to get life organized again. For any of you who have been reading the papers lately, you know that my work days of late have been somewhat tumultuous (on that note, thank you to everyone who has been emailing to check in. I have very much appreciated knowing that you were thinking of me). Given the circumstances, I’m not really in a position to offer my opinion about it just yet (at least not in writing!) but, needless to say that it has left my mind feeling rather exhausted. Each day has provided its own challenges and to witness the degree to which people will go out of their way to hurt each other has really made me ache. It’s been a very upsetting way to learn that there really is no price that you can put on your reputation and dignity.
All of this to say that I am patiently waiting with baited breath for some down time in which my brain and my body can work cohesively together in order to start plucking away at my to-do list. If you’ve emailed me lately and haven’t heard back…then rest assured that you are on that list!!!
First things first though…a rest! I need a little rest! Steve’s actually been out camping with Colin so, for the first time, I have the house (and Tugger!) to myself. So tonight I plan on going home, putting on my comfy clothes, and watching too many hours of sitcoms (thanks to Steve’s fancy new television, it’s actually like having company over because everyone is life-sized!)! Then maybe I’ll have a bath, a glass of wine and early to bed. This girl needs some beauty sleep like nobody’s business!
As Steve gets home tomorrow night (hopefully all in one piece), it will also be the start of our much needed August long weekend! The timing couldn’t be better!! We’re heading to Kingston to spend some time cruising through the thousand islands with Heather and Roberta, and I have a coffee date with some of my girls on Monday but otherwise, we intend to do nothing but play and rest all weekend long! It will probably rain all weekend (just like it has for the entire rest of the summer thus far) but at this point, it could even snow and I wouldn’t care…I just want to unplug my brain and have a change of scenery.
After that…it’s on to the to-do list!
Wish me luck…I feel like I’m going to need it!
