I've been up since 5 am.  My stoopid mind won't stop thinking.  I hate it when it wakes me up with it's conspiracy theories and nonsense!  I had some pretty messed up dreams last night.
 
The one good thing is that I can watch my daughter sleep while I sit here with my laptop.  It's always nice to see her at rest and take the time to appreciate the small changes that happen in her face as she lives and experiences life.  Such small degrees of change that you might miss if you got busy.
 
We need to take her to her dad's later today, which means that drive to Napa and back.  I don't really mind, but it does wear me out.  And I come home to an empty room.  Well, that, and the mess that she always seems to leave in her wake! ;)
 
Before that happens I need to do that mani/pedi that I was supposed to do last night.  We got sidetracked, but I don't want her to think I forgot or am blowing it off.  Maybe I'm just dreading black toenails.  IDK.
 
It was my sister's birthday thursday, so on the way back I'm going to stop and drop off a small birthday present.  I hope she will not have been drinking, but the odds are against it.  She mentioned about starting the party last weekend and keeping it going for a week. (cringe)  I'm considering giving her a call and seeing if she can meet me outside the house for a trip to the crafting store. (if she's not been drinking already)
 
Then home for an early evening.  Which will only encourage my monkey mind problem to flourish. :(  I need to sit down and think of a long term complex project that I can dive into to distract myself.  Reading isn't an option until I get into the optomitrist for some reading glasses.  And it has to be cheap so I can save my money for future travel adventures :)

    Hmmnn.. I hate when that happens! (un)luckily I have so much work right this minute, it looks like I'm never going to have time to think for the rest of my life! How about you pain or draw or something? Just seeing the colours when I paint helps me usually.. I mean sometimes its just a big block of colour that I paint.. but it helps.
     
    ..Or you could cook.. that is also quite therapeutic I find.. or you know what the best thing is when you're feeling like this? Just shut yourself in your room, play some loud dance music and let go and dance.. just dance it out.. by the end of it you'll be tired but also will have some adreneline flowing and some feel good hormones which always come with physical activity..
     
    Well whatever you do.. I hope you stop thinking and get some sleep soon!

    dd - I hesitate to cook only because the kitchen is shared.  But I might invest in a sketch pad and some pencils.  I'm also considering learning a language, though I don't think I'm that smart.  If all else fails I'll go for a long walk.

    queenie - well, the toes are now black.  I almost had kitten when Sweetie spilled polish remover on my new comforter.  *sigh* I should have just gone to the salon.

    Well Uni I'm sure you'll move through this kind of day with your usual grace and all of that, and hopefully at the end of it you'll be able to slip into bed and get the sleep you deserve.  Hopefully today turns out to be mostly uneventful.  Good luck finding that long term project.

    U-nee-k......books, YT videos, news site, drawing, crosswords, work out and most of all movies work their magic for me anytime...

    My mind is diverted to other people stories and i always get lost in a movie..
    The last one i watched is "The reader" with that amazing actress that is Katie Winslet.

    I did end up crying like a pig to the market but that was ok. Therapeutic, actually.

    And like Queenie said....be bold, black nail polish could be fun....LOL...

    Oh, i am learning some Arab .....so sexy......*wink*.......;-p
  • uniquely-ironic said on May 31, 2009....
    Hege - thanks for the good wishes.  I'm hoping for uneventful too.
     
    ginger - I'm looking at black polish on my toes.  IDK, I guess it could be sexy.  Arabic is a tough language! kudos for learning it!
  • gingersoul said on May 31, 2009....
    You know .....i like Arabic music a lot.......so i started to listen on YT to songs that were displaying the lyrics too ...i follow the rhythm of the language helped by the music and i associate the meaning with the translation in English......plus i can pick on the pronunciation as well....

    I polished the English i learned at school only when i started to learn words by words the Jesus Christ Superstar songs.....lol.....

    After that....any other English song has been like a mini lesson for me...:-)

  • uniquely-ironic said on May 31, 2009....
    ginger - I'm hoping that the fact that I grew up hearing the language I'm considering learning will translate into my having a natural ear for it.
  • quietone said on May 31, 2009....
    okay, I am going to send you on a photographers assignment.  I want you to take a picture of someone (you know or not) without them being IN the picture.  Now that should keep your mind occupied for a few moments.  I will give you more if you'd like!  :)   you are so good with that camera, and what a wondreful distraction
  • gingersoul said on May 31, 2009....
    I am sure of it......its like riding a bicycle....you never really forget.
  • uniquely-ironic said on May 31, 2009....

    quietone - okay, now you've got my mind on a bender! lol  thanks!  now I have to figure out how to do that.

    ginger - I never spoke the language more than a word or two, but I'm hoping I haven't lost my ear for it. :)

  • travelr712 said on May 31, 2009....
    so what happens when your sister drinks?
  • Lucytorial said on May 31, 2009....
    yee gads.... I have no idea Uni.... maybe start organising your photos, maybe make some more jewelry? Ginger is right, learn another language thats a great distraction and generaly very cheap!

    trav - well, she's usually pretty easy to get along with, but her hubby becomes an obnoxious attention hog.

    Lu - I just finished making 8 pairs of earrings this weekend.  I'm kind of jewelried out.  I think language might be a good one.  I also looked up a dance studio nearby.
