Down the Rabbit Hole

Rain on a Tin Roof

I'm feeling exhausted after the weekend. It was a frustrating few days from shopping for a replacement to my SUV to taking care of a ailing cat that seems only to be awake and active between the hours of 2 and 4am. The summer has speed by with the kind of alarming speed that reminds you how short life can be. Its not been the easiest time ever lately, and I'm looking forward to the Fall, a time when I traditionally find myself in higher spirits overall. I know he's pinning for a summer lost, and seems more disheartened by each wanning day. I'm hoping the upcoming vacation will lift his spirits. I'm afraid he's felt each disappointment more acutely than I. We both wanted more out of life that we can apparently have right now.
I've been feeling out of sorts these late fews days and I beginning to wonder if it is more than from lack of sleep and anxiety over my pet's injury. I've had a headache nearly ever day and my stomach feels constantly unsettled. I'm looking at the calendar and wondering if the end of August will bring more of a surprise than I had thought.
