It's a blustery day in the neighborhood

Not even 1/2 hours ago it was raining so hard and so windy out here by my abode that I could not see out my windows. I thought we were going to have a hurricane on the North Coast. But now it's beginning to look sunny - how odd...

And I've noticed my house is lately being invaded by ladybugs...hmmm wondering what that is portent of: End times? Winter coming? Freak weather?

It's been a long week - glad to be back home....

I had actually gotten used to the routine over at my brother's house with the dogs, so much so, that I had a hard time sleeping here last nite. Weird, since I had a hard time sleeping there too - hoping this isn't going to become a pattern now of me not being able to sleep.

The lake is dark green - almost an emerald/blue in intensity with frothy white caps, still being whipped up by the wind...too deep in colour for the sun to penetrate...the trees are brilliant with fall foliage and it would be a great day for a walk if it weren't quite so windy.

I am feeling out of sorts, blah-blah, getting ready to gear up for what is turning out to be quite a busy Yoga teaching schedule. The week of the 15th I will be teaching 4 nights a week but then will go down to 3 nights a week the following week. I can't seem to shake this feeling of ennui...

Perhaps I should go work out (I really need to start doing this again more frequently).

I have a feeling of wanting to wander. Get in the car, drive and drive and drive - who knows where....I don't know why I get this urge - this sense of wanderlust from time to time - perhaps we all do - it's not going to solve anything - I don't want to run away - I just need some time alone and maybe getting on the road represents freedom...yet I've signed up for another teaching season and I have to carry through with it. I will take a break for the holidays and try a re-group/recharge.

The words 'Maybe next year...' keep going through my head but I don't know what they mean.

I have to write a serious piece one of these days (not serious as in sombre but get to work on the story about life in the carnival - that kind of serious - it's been shaping up in my head - we will see).

I've completely given up on dating period. I am sick and tired of getting *winks* from idiots when come to find out the site (True Beginnings) - is doing the 'winking' for you and them - I would never 'talk' to anyone who could not be bothered to put anything (description OR picture) on their profile....so stick a fork in me, I am done...it's too much like work, and I believe that love/romance should be something you 'fall into' not something one has to claw out of the side of a granite mountain...

***********

So I am off to do something, go get some brunch, put out flyers on Yoga classes, try and study and put together some new variations for my student, research Yoga for scoliosis and do some much needed laundry...

Have a good rest of the weekend mes amis.

*hugs*
