The Day After the Day After

Good morning, Amanda.

Today I am tired. The adrenaline and excitement that got me up and going yesterday on little sleep has dissipated, and even though I had a good night's sleep last night, I feel tired. It certainly doesn't help that it is gloomy out today.

Yesterday I enjoyed seeing images and videos of people--around the world--celebrating Obama's victory. It's all so very inspiring, but on the other side of the story is the tall order he has taken on. I wish him well and hope he can turn this economy around. I do trust in his ability to create a team that will work hard and do us all right. I can't wait for inauguration!

On a not so positive note, W found out that he didn't get either of two jobs he was a candidate for at Children's. Needless to say, he's quite depressed. And I don't know what to say or do for him. Clearly, he's not one to espouse The Secret. I'm doing it for him on my end, but I wish he would say, just once, "something will work out." I can't be the only one who thinks so.

I have plans with C to go out for a little bit after school today, and am looking forward to it. We are going out for burgers for one of those late lunch/early dinners. (It sucks eating lunch at 10:15.) Then tomorrow it's the weekend. Plenty of time to catch up on sleep.

Hope you have a good day. Love, Barb
