Woke up way too early, and my mind began to whiz around for some reason, making it impossible to get back to sleep. Not sure why, but figured it was more mature to just go with it, so here I sit with Daisy the Pug curled up on my feet. Can't beat that for comfort.
Thankful that the kids will go to my mom's for lunch, and it'll be nice to be sort of alone. One son will be with me, since he has a house/pet sitting job to look after this afternoon. We'll run some errands then come back home to relax.
But I guess the main excitement of the day will be voting in a new city mayor. We've lived under the nonsensical leadership of one mayor for about 17 years (give or take a year or two) and the city rejoiced when he resigned this summer. Seems like we even baked a cake to celebrate the news. The only trouble is that there are so many folks on the ballot, it's anyone's guess who'll win. Still, we're thinking anyone's better than what we've had. Hope I don't end up eating my words. :)
Think I'll go back to bed in a minute. Otherwise the day will shrivel up before my eyes. Can't stand facing a day without enough sleep. I've become a dab hand at little 30 minute rest periods that don't quite qualify as a nap, but give just enough of a quiet moment. That time is now.
