I.can.not.sleep...!!!

Why?

Could it be because...

• School opens in 30 hours and I have about that many hours work to do just to make that happen...?



• I can't sleep knowing I have all that work to do, and the more I think about it the more awake I stay?

• Which doesn't help, of course, because I'm not getting any work done right now and I'm going to be worthless if I don't fugging get some sleep!!!!



• My girl moves to SD on Friday?
  
  




• I've been more busy than I've ever been with work and haven't had the time to do the little extras that I so wanted to do before she moves.



• Which is why I didn't work as late as I wanted to.... when she called and asked when I'd be home? And so we watched a movie and ate popcorn and m&m's.



• Don's car is in the shop that requires more money than we should put into it, yet we can't swing a new car?
  
  
• Daughter's car wouldn't start the other day and we have 3 days to get it to her favorite mechanic?



• My check engine light came on today?



• Ends weren't meeting before the cars took a crap?



• I have more medical appts than I care to count in the coming weeks?



• Don's having some unusual symptoms relating to his new meds?



• My friends have loved ones dealing with important medical issues now? (((L))) (((M)))



• Did I mention we're moving my daughter down on Friday?
  
  
• I'm feeling sick to my stomach? again.



• My daughter is moving on Friday? (If only she were more excited, rather than sad and nervous.) (I know it's great. I am so very happy for her and proud of her. But, it is still an emotional time.) (That's just how we are. okay??)



• Even later now. Will I function tomorrow?
  
  
• All of the above?
  
  

If I had sleeping pills, I'd have taken one (four) hours ago. (four meaning four pills, not four hours ago. well maybe four pills four hours ago)

sighhh....

Guess I'll head up and stare at the ceiling. Or out the window. I'll probably just doze off as the alarm sounds............

Capture

I've become obsessed with a picture project.

The county newspaper is sponsoring a photo contest for a collaborative book that will feature the Best of Ventura County in pictures...

I decided, why not? I can upload a few pictures! You never know!

At first, my pictures were in the "daily leaders" all the time. As time marches on, there have been so many amazing photos added to the project.

(I'm out of my league here! So much for "daily leaders")

So many of the images that are being submitted are amazing. I love to browse through them and see what these imaginative and creative photographers have captured with their cameras.

I should be encouraged and inspired by all this. I want to learn all about photography - it's been at the top of my list of Things I Want To Do With My Life.

(i can't find the time and i don't have the money.

i don't have a natural talent for this so it would require a lot of time,

and any amount of money is more than i can swing right now..)

Still, I enjoy browsing around and continue to participate. I may add more photos, but this is some of what I have so far...

Thanks and enjoy....!
