I heard the Cabrini bells this morning and failed to get out of bed because snuggling and trying to remain calm amidst crazy times just seemed like a whole lot better idea. Of course, this meant that Loca was shortchanged. And when I got up to my desk, it all started over again – the panting and heart racing and just overall “make it stop” feeling. My hairdresser told me she is voting for McCain…
Why have I been glued to the computer screen all day? Days go by.
Yesterday about 11:30 AM I got down on my hands and knees because I had this crushing feeling of anxiety in my chest. It was a collusion of trying to remain positive in a rapidly deteriorating environment. By noon, I had to get out and take a walk just to get some fresh air. Later, as the day grew dark, I lay in bed and told T that I was overwhelmed by work right now…
This morning Loca and I rushed out the door, late again, for our walk. The weather outside is outstanding and Loca was in a rather subdued mood. We headed into City Park, saying hello to the usual suspects, and saw a friend of hers ahead. Instead of getting excited, Loca was sort of like don’t bother me and was going around behind me instead of engaging. The owner and I chatted and she said I…
Yesterday, was supposed to go something like this in my mind, I woke up and planned a day that involved getting exercise, working in the garden, and doing some work. Yesterday, in actuality went more like this, lounge in bed, open front door and be greeted by a Hebe Pumpkin smiling up at me, retrieve and read the Sunday NYT, a knock on the door from a neighbor asking to watch his daughter while he…
My mother called and said she had a plan to save my sister which involved asking the guy visiting the guys who live downstairs to drive her to Atlanta and pick up my sister and then drive them both to Florida. There was something about this that made my insides crawl. I consider myself a tolerant person, a free bird, open to new ideas. But what about the times I haven’t been? I remember when…
Need I say more. Well maybe this one quote from the NYT Monday morning: “As gifted as he is, he is essentially going to execute the Republican agenda, the orthodoxy of the Republican agenda, with a new face and a maverick approach to it, and he’d be quite good at it. But I think we need a generational change.” COLIN L. POWELL, discussing Senator John McCain, and endorsing Senator Barack Obama.
Or it was more like one Obama maniac this morning as I wore my tee shirt and yelled to the crowd of people who were doing the Breast Cancer walk/run. I heard one yell “McCain” back at me but mostly people just looked perplexed.
This morning as 8,000 people ran and walked in front of my house to build awareness for Breast Cancer, I read several articles in the Sunday Times that spoke to past recessions and how physical health improves because stress levels go down, and people are spending more time with their loved ones. It seems – or so the paper says – that money does not make you happy – that once basic needs are met,…
