I slept in

I was very tired last night, and I slept in until 5 a.m. Some of the tiredness is the heavy wind we are experiencing. It seems to melt my brain.
Part of the exhaustion is the ugliness in my life right now.
Starting at the top, I am sad and fearful for our country.
Then at my job, the lead teacher has basically been forced into resignation and some attitudes are really showing. I will say that as a person, I liked her, but I questioned some of her teaching ability. That does not mean I will be hateful. I will also say she is making some questionable choices.
Lastly, there is trouble in my personal life, and a long journey to get through some of it. Not in my immediate home but with one of my kids. His bad choices, and dealing with his wife.
Bad feelings and worry can really steal your energy.
I want to crawl in bed and just sleep sometimes.

Add cold, clouds and wind and it is awfully tiring.

Our hope the inauguration goes well. I think I am going to learn a lot at school. We will see where the rest of life takes us.

@LadyDuck I hope the stupidity goes away and we get back to work being a country. You know, I really do not like any politician but they seem to be a necessary evil.

I hope things even out for you soon especially with your son and whatever he is going through. I hope you got your test you needed.

The other things will even out first. I hope our country straightens up. The other teacher will be removing all of her stuff. So then I will be down to one situation.

When do you usually get up? Is 5 a.m. a good time for you to sleep till? I am sorry all that you have to deal with. You are very right that bad feelings and worry can steal one's energy. There are times I wish I could just sleep the whole day and not have to get up, but, I have to and anyways I have to get up to feed my Sophie.

My alarm is set for five but I am likely to be awake at 3. I try to not ever get up until after 4:30. Our pets do keep us from just sleeping life away.

My pet goes by my alarm but I am sure she would like to wake me up earlier.

Yes, I am sure it will. Now is the weekend. The other teacher will be clearing out her things.

i hear ya'n the winds, though if'n i let such get to me, i'd be doomed. 'tis been very few days here since last january when such's not been the 'norm'. there's much to be concerned 'bout, but one cannot 'llow 't to consume ya 'n steal yer joy. 'ccept those thingies ya cannot change, change those ya can.

And keep busy with positive things. I feel that the reason I work, besides money, would be to occupy my mind.

Sorry to hear that you're going through a trying time right now. I tend to want to sleep more too when things aren't going well. Hope it all gets better soon

Some of it will be a while. I wonder what we will see at the inauguration. By next Monday we will know what we need to do to be back on track at school. Only time will resolve the family thing.

As we head towards spring I like to think things are going to pick up. Our long term sub is a jewel, and a crazy woman as well.
