My very lazy vacation week at home with the daughter is coming to an end.  We take her to the airport early tomorrow.  But considering that we'll be in London for the weekend in 2 weeks, and that she loves it there, I'm good.  I can do this.  I am a strong independent woman.  Now it's my chance to shine!   Think of all I can do for ME!!!  I DO have a life outside of my kid!  I DO, I DO!!!  (This is what I have to do to booster my courage.  So sad.)

Anywho.   This election has made America and Americans the question mark of the moment.  At school non-Americans ask me all the time basically", "WTF?".  To which I have to answer that I just don't know!  I am so shocked, amazed, flabbergasted, horrified, confused, incredulous, that this guy has made it this far, and may be the next president of the United States!  I feel like I'm walking around with my mouth agape.  Europe is very worried.  I am very worried.  I may look into real estate in the UK.  WAIT!  Brexit!  Damn them!!!!  My EU passport won't be worth anything there in a few years.  Shit. 

So as you can see by these last two paragraphs, my state of mind is wobbly at the moment.  This next week I am restarting my Pilates and upping it to 4 times a week, I am going to the spa on Tuesday and out to dinner with friends Friday, and have decided to book 1 evening out with girlfriends a week.  This is my plan.  I'm sticking to it.  xxoo me
