Now

Now that New York is traveled and sung (yes, I still have more stories)...
Now that swim lessons are over...
Now that the taxes are figured, signed, and mailed...
Now that my Opera Workshop class has performed well...
Now that Carmina performances #1 and #2 are finished (high notes and all)...
Now that my annual library budget is nearly spent...
Now that flowers and grass and even dandelions are growing...

Now I can actually be a functioning human being again.

You'd think that my calendar would be a blank slate. Well, that's never going to happen. But looking over the remainder of April, May and June, I do spy an empty day here and there, and I am practically giddy at the thought of keeping it empty, or filling it with something more fun and less frantic.

I don't know whether to dig in the dirt or cook or clean or read a book or spin or sew or flop on the couch. I'd like to do one of everything right about now.

I think I'll start with sleeping.
Sleeping without worrying myself into a 5am wakeup call.
Now this is gonna be good.
