Commuting Hurts

[qos]

90 minutes from my desk at work to my table here at Marie Callendar's (restaurant).

Rain
Accidents
Rush hour

Fortunately I was able to call The Daughter and find out that she was enjoying sub sandwiches upstairs, and I could stop and decompress before getting home without guilt.

Several pages of journal writing, one Diet Coke with vodka, half a beef dip sandwich, a couple of onion rings, and a slice of pie later, I feel ready to go home and cook what was supposed to be tonight's dinner so I can have the leftovers for breakfast and lunch tomorrow.

No sorting tonight. I need a long, hot shower and a slightly early bedtime to get through tomorrow with any kind of brainpower at all.

Don't get me wrong: I'm neither unhappy nor upset. Just worn out by a long and demanding couple of weeks.

Sounds like life has been a little... speedy... in your neck of the woods. Sending prayers for a smidge extra energy, and lots of centeredness.

Thank you!

I actually am feeling far more centered and grounded than I usually am, given this amount of activity in my life.

Marie Callender's serves liquor?

I didn't even know they were a restaurant. I know them for their pot pies that show up in the frozen food section of Target.

The ones in my area have lounges, and serve alcohol in the main restaurant.

Please drive carefully. You mean a great deal to so many of us.
