On The Cusp of Wednesday

Well, it's Tuesday and I feel like Friday is never going to get here. If someone would have told me long ago that I would have to work full time to enjoy some of the little luxuries in life that I have afforded myself, I would have spent less so I could enjoy more free time now.
Just add this to my never-ending list of "things I wish that I would have known beforehand".

The world seems to be going lilly-nilly lately. With the Schavio case, the earthquake and aftershocks in Indonesia and school shootings, I feel like I just want to go and bury my head in a pot of flowers and hide away until Spring -- maybe then things will be better with the world.

So many thoughts running through my head, where to catalogue them all, where to keep them. My shoebox full of little notes and thoughts and things sure is piling up. I will be that little old lady someday who when she dies, her husband finds a shoebox of her thoughts, wishes, prayers, dreams, writings and other musings of her life. I just know it!

One bright spot today was the introduction of a girl at work. She introduced herself (and I'll be damned if I can remember her name), she politely asked me if I remember a Suzi from high school. Wow! High School; that seems like a million years ago, and being the unpopular girl I always choose to forget most of it. She told me that she has twins now (since Dec 2004), and is married, and not living too far from me. I gave her my email address and in return, (girl whose name escapes me), gave me Suzi's phone number. I will have to try and call her soon. I wonder if she knows where Magie went to. I haven't seen her since she got married a year after high school and moved away.

How time flies. How people change but in so many ways they stay the same person. Similiar to an old book that sits on a shelf just waiting for someone to pick it up, dust it off and re-read it for the fourteenth time. We're all just little kids in adult bodies doing adult chores for the time being.

Well, time for sleep. Need the beauty sleep more than ever lately.
