A chink in the clouds

  

Sunrise at 07.21 – I was there maybe ten minutes later, just in time to see the sun peeping through clouds. Within ten minutes it had greyed out completely, so I think I was lucky.

I drew during support group, while listening. And failed to buy jeans for blogfest on the way back, because what I want is 501s like I have, except newer and I’m not sure where sells them like that. I did buy socks though, because obviously that will help.

It rained this afternoon, and drained all of me away. I’m trying very hard to take my own advice about how to get things done, but the everything I have to do is kind of overwhelming. You know the story about the guy who asks for directions, and the guy he’s asking says, ‘if I was going there, I wouldn’t start from here’?

That’s kind of how I feel about my life. I don’t know how to get to where I want to be from here. I have a sort of idea where I want to be, but I make the moves, and if anything, the target gets further away.

Tomorrow is another day. And perhaps will have more energy associated with it. Tonight I am very very tired.

  1. The weather has been awful recently. We are still flooded here. This is a beautiful sunset and hope you get some sleep. Hugs x

  2. I was emailed the following after I mentioned buying yet more socks for MIL:
    “One can never have enough socks,” said Dumbledore. “Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books.”
