Dreary

Oh dreary days, when will I see the sun?

I'm stuck in the Valley fog and it's been a bit of a bummer. That and I've been taking care of a sick kiddo. Not much sleeping, doctors visits, etc. Her cold/stomach bug is clearing up though and I'm thankful it hasn't been something more serious. My heart goes out to others who have had recent tragedies and it really helps to put things in perspective.

I could go on a rant and rave right now about doctors and the medical system but I won't. I don't have the energy and don't want to piss a lot of people off. Let me just say that mothers instincts are worth a whole heck of a lot and I am eternally grateful that I had the opportunity to birth my baby at home.

I'm thinking I need to brave 2 more months of these foggy, drippy, chilly days and then we're onto spring, right? I keep wearing the same clothes over and over and that is also bumming me out. I'm in need of a little makeover. I got my 2-month haircut last week which was nice and always brightens my day no matter what the weather is like outside. That and a pair of consigned new-to-me jeans, maybe some running shoes in my future, and I should be good to go.
Oh, did I mention Hawaii? I think it is on the horizon. I dreamt last night of flying to a tropical island and I slept like my baby, literally. Not one of us woke in the middle of the night. We had good solid sleep which was such a blessing!
