I’ve been battling some wicked fatigue due to my sleep schedule going completely down the toilet. I am trying to get back on track and I am starting to see some improvement in my level of energy, but I will be happy when DST ends. Waking up in the dark is definitely no help to my low energy level.

lunasdad was scheduled to come home for good at the end of October but then his contract was extended through the end of the year. That means we haven’t seen him since September and won’t see him until Thanksgiving. The good news is that he was able to get a contract with his old employer; after a three week stint in Seattle starting November 1, he will be home for good at Thanksgiving and able to work from home from then on for the next year or so. This is a huge relief on so many levels.

My cat Wynnie is still alive but she is very very sick and I don’t think she will be with us much longer. I’ve been trying to hold out for lunasdad to come home, but I don’t think that is going to happen. I am so sad to see her so ill and though it may sound terrible, I keep hoping she will just pass peacefully in her sleep on her own. All of my other pets are doing well at the moment.

I am coming to the conclusion that i am a terrible control freak, particularly with my kids and that I yell at them too much. I am not sure how to fix that but I am working on it. Part of it is taking better care of myself and I am trying to do that now. We’ll see how that goes.

I hope to be around more often once lunasdad is back home.
