It just is

There is a situation in my life right now that has people surprised at the reaction, or lack there of, coming from me. I am very passionate person, some call that dramatic, who tends to lead with emotion whenever the situation leads.

This time around, I don't have emotion. No tears, no anger, no peace, no thankfulness. Nothing.

It is, quite literally, the end of a pretty major part of my life and yet. Nothing.

I would say the void of emotion bothers me, but that would be a lie. What's the point?

Are you kidding?!?!?

My hiking vest from my Expedition disappeared from my cube last night.

Who does that?

I didn't blog on election day

I got up early and took the kiddo to the poll with me and we voted and it was great. We spent the evening eating dinner in front of election coverage and although it didn't turn out at all how I would have wanted, it shows the freedom we have to elect our officials. I have lived in countries were that is not the case and we are so very lucky here regardless.

Enough being lucky - the next four years are going to be awful. And then the years following that will be rough as we will pay for those four years. And where I am, where I work, things are rough anyway and throw this on top of it - people are not happy. Okay, I am very not happy.

I was on the phone with the aforementioned amazing friend and it was sunny and nice there, here is it cloudy and yucky. Funny how the weather reflects our emotions, or is it our emotions that reflect the weather? I think it is both.

I know - I am super dramatic and think about it too much. But this is my blog, not yours so :-P.

It's Almost Election Day!!

I am a political junkie. I love it - and Election Day is big for me. I wanted to share my excitement on Election Day, but then read that Obama lost his Grandmother today.

Whether you like the man or not (and I a will not say which way I swing on it), please keep him and his family in your prayers on this very hard day. I still remember with crystal clear clarity the day I lost my Grandmother and it was one of the worst days of my life.

God Bless - and call your Grandmother, hug her, if you still can.
