Day 1804: Floors and walls

Another busy day, filled with projects and a reunion meeting that no one else attended.  So, what happened there?  Picked up some more flooring samples, met with Terry, who will install the new flooring and then occupied my mind with Christmas activities.  That eased my mind a bit.   If only I could go outside and work in my garden or swim a mile.  The exercise would help me escape the confines of these walls.  Didn't sleep again last night,  got up at 6:30 for the day because my mind won't stop.

In the first draft,  after this passage, I wrote a long bitter paragraph about the world politics of the day.  I deleted it because I won't let myself be drawn into despair, although at times it washes over me.  But, our sons will be home soon and joy will rein!  

Tomorrow night, I'll join with fifty other women just like me and we'll plot our strategy to take back our country, regain the House of Representatives and send DT into the history books as the first president tried and convicted of high crimes against this nation.  Now, that will help me sleep.

December 15, 2007, the day Colin and April got engaged.

What an amazing journey they've had together!
