Daylight

It feels like a day that was an hour longer than usual....and it's Sunday. Rainy, dreary and getting cold. Signs of official autumn - trees with red, yellow and orange leaves all around (yes, even in California). Drizzly rain off and on all day.

It was a busy week - the bond measure passed with flying colors and just like that, my already swamped work load became a lot deeper than a swamp. Ocean-like, even. We're all very excited and very thankful to our voters - the initial results right after 8PM had us with a comfortable winning margin and it stayed that way all night. It was a long night but fun - spent with a lot of hard working parents who deserved to celebrate. Now the work begins in earnest - planning for modernizing one school and significant building projects at the three others adds a lot to my day. But we'll manage. I know I will. Though the dark circles under my eyes may not ever abate again. Good problem to have, I think - we are blessed with home owners who know that we would never ask them to fund these projects unless there was no other way for us to do them - and unless we would continue our history of being good stewards of the money.

This week is only a three day work week - we're off to Disneyland on Thursday for four days. Originally scheduled off next Monday as well as a 'recuperation' day - but now the day is full of meetings so it's looking like I'll be working. We're excited about the trip - and hoping for improved weather.

It's 7:43 and I'm falling asleep sitting up. Bed time....no matter what the clock says. Night!
