I'm Fine

Yesterday afternoon I put Toby on a plane to Scotland and drove home in the rain listening to my new Il Divo Christmas CD. Yes, I would like to be going on a grand adventure in the UK, but it is not my time. I would also like a new house. If I had to choose between a new house and a trip to Scotland, well, I would choose the house. Does my not going to Scotland mean I will get a new house? Not necessarily, but it will help. There is a part of me that is very sad and a bit angry about not going on this trip, but there is another part of me that is really fine with it. The fine part is that I am going to NY next week, I am helping with a young friend's wedding in a couple of weeks, I have my art students to play with, and I get to spend the next three weeks with Jesse doing what ever the heck we want to do. Maybe we will have a party...

Today, I am headed to Lawton to run some errands - maybe do some shopping for my NY trip. I have lots of irons in the fire right now - plenty to keep me busy. I will miss Toby and hope that he is taking good pictures of Aberdeen. I put the heavy Eddie Bauer comforter on the bed last night in order to stay toasty warm. My rat terrier snuggled up close - he has to be touching me. I will be fine the next few weeks and a little envious.
