Quiet day at home. Clouds slowly gathering and blocking out the sun. Feeling slightly ill/tired. Spending the day reading and lying on the couch. Took short trip to Whole foods for food. It is just beginning to rain.

Have this vague feeling that I should be doing something more useful with this quiet day. But I am not.

sometimes I am so tired I can't think, I can't move my body, all I want to do is go to bed and close my eyes. Last night was one of those times.

And this morning I am awake and slowly my energy is returning as the sun comes out and begins to warm my house.

Yea, Obama was elected the next president of the United States. I am so glad.

rainy days now. Election night. It's hard to settle down and wait for the results. I do have a preference. I hope Obama wins.

Early morning, wet, cold. Immediately when I start the car the windows fog up. The windshield wipers are clogged with pine needles leaving blurred areas on the glass. The heater is cold.

Finally after a few minutes a balance is achieved, the windows are clear and the car is warm.

went for Sunday night dinner at my son's home. We decided to watch a Harry Potter movie. The adults couldn't stop talking while the kids were trying to listen. Luckily they have seen it before and knew all the parts. The adults didn't care so much for Harry Potter. We wanted to talk and enjoy the warmth of the fire and the family company.

the first rain lightens my heart. A warm tropical light rain is falling this weekend, some wind. The end of the fire season is the beginning of the green season.

Gave left over candy to some of the neighborhood kids. I am not sure their parents will be happy with it but these boys were excited. Never can have too much candy.

Went to a ten am movie this morning,part of the movie club from our local public radio station. Saw FLOW, a documentary film on water and how we are misusing it. I left feeling very helpless.
