(Amy Winehouse)
What do you do when all the waiting (or some of it at least) is over? Yesterday I felt bereft, so I took a long nap. It's that feeling, after you've been in a play production in high school, all the work that you put into the production and then, in two days, it's all over!
Grief sets in. How can it not? Life hasn't changed, but all of a sudden this big thing you were striving towards, working on, praying about, HAPPENED.
It's like watching the Awards show and yes, it's fun and glitzy but then you have to get up and go to work the next morning.
That's what this in between feels like. Because we now know who will be president, but we haven't started Advent, and the start of the new presidency is still 72 days away [Countdown timer].
I was struck by the reality of this tweet: "Everything is quieter now...and when the world gets quieter, grief turns up its volume." (Shannon Dingle, a writer who recently lost her husband and is raising 6 kids on her own.)
I'm so behind...all the work I haven't done because I've been too distracted. Not a very exciting blues song, but a blues song nonetheless. "I got so much to do bum bum...I don't know what to do, bum bum."
What's the blues song in your life?

Three things:
- Sleep: Discombobulated due to the nap.
- Walk: upcoming
- Work: I'm "teleworking" today, and have so much to catch up on. Thankfully I have a holiday on Wednesday.
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul

I think mine starts, "I am so booored...I've been inside, TOO LONG! And 500 square feet is not enough room for three - grown- women"
