Humming "I Will Wait" by Mumford & Sons
Drinking Mexican hot chocolate (Abuelita)
Worrying about everyone on the East coast facing the tropical storm Sandy
Working on organizing our home better, especially Brayden's toys, art supplies, and old clothes
Wondering about the election results next week- the races I am most concerned about are President, Utah's 4th district Congressional seat, SL County Mayor, and Millcreek incorporation
Reading The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander, and the new issue of the Exponent II magazine
Hobbling around. In the midst of a small arthritis flare-up that I think might be connected to the changes in the weather
Wishing that either I had gotten the job I applied/interviewed for or that we had been able to get a discounted tuition scholarship to the preschool that had an opening starting this week for Brayden
Remembering how I felt this week four years ago. I was SO excited about Obama. Now I realize that I, along with a lot of his supporters, had expectations of him that were near impossible for him to reach. There has been some disappointment, but I still trust him. Four years later, he still gets my vote.
Beginning to think about Christmas. It's not my fault! People keep putting Christmas books on hold at the library, so it has been on my mind.
Getting annoyed about Brayden's bedtime routine going downhill lately. He was going to bed so easily for a few weeks, but apparently it was too good to last.
