Closing Time

"Closing time, open all the doors and let you out into the world" - Semisonic

I didn't get much sleep last night.  Thinking too much about the niece and the projects.  I dropped off around 11, woke up around 12:30, dropped off again, woke up at 2 and watched the clock move.  Finally, close to 3, I gave it up, got my sorry ass out of bed and proceeded to mess with Vin Diesel's world. An hour later and finishing at level 5, I was sweating profusely and a tad more calm in my mind.

More meetings today and trying to make sense of the new project, while tackling the final steps of the old. I began to get more and more antsy. I was feeling constricted, suffocated and I just wanted out of there. And as I walked into the parking lot, the warm wind whipping my hair around....the refrains of Closing Time, started echoing through my head.  I was free!

I headed home, and the stripping began.  I ended up with just a purple lace thong and a wine colored slip top on (there is a purpose to the clothing issue...it's not to turn anyone on or anything...). I opened the french doors wide and all the windows open and the wind started moving though the house.  But the best part is the wind caressing my skin. HEAVEN!!!  I put on some music and relaxed on the chaise with the wind moving my hair and just breathing.  I've always said my best luck comes on windy days. It's always the little things that make you feel alive and thankful.

I made some egg drop soup and I may yet end up with a glass of wine....I haven't decided.  The problems, issues, projects and family will still be here tomorrow.  But tonight, it's just me and God...and I'm ok with that.
