ravena_kadeSaturday I needed to deliver the Halloween ceramics to my aunt. Since we were pointed North we went up to my Ipswich and went to an orchard with an outside market. It was chilly day, but nice to be outside.
On the drive up I spotted my first Bald Eagle. Since I was in a moving car I could not grab a photo. What made it important to me was that early that morning I turned on a kids show where they were in Alaska and show an eagle...and I felt sad as I may never get to travel there and see the wildlife. So I was quite happy to sea the Eagle flying low... low enough that I could see his eyes. Their expression is always so stern...but that is just because their beaks are longer and breather than a hawks.
Sunday was ceramic day at the cousins. My Aunt has finally finished all the hand painted tiles that she was doing to grout onto a tray. But then the cousins though wes should just tape the tiles onto the tray...but then it wont be usable... sigh. Spent over a year trying to make something that could be an heirloom thing...and they just cheapen it up. Sigh...such a waste of effort.
Today I had off from work. Needed to burn some vacation time. I slept until 7:30...I never get to do that. I needed the sleep. At 11 I went to go vote ...never has coloring in a little circle on a piece of paper meant so much to the country... and how we will end up... after I visited my friend who has lost her sister. I helped her clear some of her sisters things from the apartment and helped her move stuff. I am someone who helps to work out grief... its a physical thing... something that I could not do when I lost my Mother....
I came home and stupidly checked my work email...and found out that no one did my main work for the day...sigh... because teh boss did not give them the wire info they needed. Sigh. They asked me to send the info and they would do it tomorrow. They dont understand that I cant do tomorrows work until todays is done and they are still in bed when I start working...so I worked for 2 hours tonight.
I wanted a video tonight and the woman made a comparison to the stress of now being like right after 9/11 except this has been going on for months and not just right after the attacks. I feel it. I have Pandemic exhaustion, work stress/exhaustion, and now elections exhaustion. It's a lot of tension.

I feel you on this one. I'm exhausted by all of this nonsense too. =(
