This morning I struggled to keep my eyes open as I drove my son to school. No more searing heat, Santa Ana winds, and fire. May gloom is here. We need the coolness. We need rain. Unfortunately, when the sun hides, I find it difficult to stay awake. When we moved to Eugene, I had to set an alarm to pick my son up from school. Remaining awake and alert when driving was a daily struggle in the damp and cloudy Northwest. Here in Southern California, I have a better time of it, but today I struggle.

I find a great deal of comfort in the phrase “this too shall pass” – I am thankful to be home after going to the girls’ annual Open House at their elementary. Bushed is exactly how I feel! 🙂 hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for us both!
I know this feeling all too well, Kitt. Thinking of you and I wish you a good night’s sleep!
Thanks, Dyane! I’m bushed! No energy. But this, too, will pass.
Stay with it, and you will be ok, best Phil.
Thank you so much. Yes, awake now. Hopefully, I can sleep tonight.
Thanks again for your support, Phil!
