"How did it get so late so soon?
Its night before its afternoon.
December is here before its June.
My goodness how the time has flewn." - Dr Seuss
I love just dressing as a smart housewife and relaxing around the house in a nice blouse and pretty spotty skirt. And good to pop out, too, in a smart mac with handbag and brolly. Its so good putting the look together and just being that woman for as long as possible.

The race route provided quiet roads with flowing bends to enjoy. I wonder did it mask the effort required to race against the clock !

Time is kind of slipping away at the moment. Everything seems to be smushed together and stretched apart.
One thing that is making things better is a podcast that I have discovered that is so amazing, called My Favourite Murder. It amazes me that other people are interested in this! Like, I spend late, insomnia filled nights, reading online about creepy, weird, messed up murders. And other people do that too!
2018 hasn't been too shabby for good trains on the CP, but this one might just beat them all. In a totally unexpected move, train 288 ended up with a trio of classic EMD's as power, with a "dual flag" CP Rail-lettered SD40-2 up front. From when it was first reported around Watertown, the info spread around the Chicagoland railfan community like wildfire. A few friends and I opted to shoot the train around the Howard Avenue curve in Des Plaines, and for the most part, we got what we bargained for, despite shadowing getting ever-worse as the day went on. I still ended up with a great shot, and in the end, one thing's for certain: this ain't happening again for a LONG time.

It was love at first sight when I saw this notebook. Besides having my favorite color combo on it (sage & orange) and being able to personalize it, I love the sentiment behind it.
This year was a struggle for me in several ways, but I also feel Ike I did bloom and find my calm amongst those storms. After all, life isn’t about what you’ve lost, but what you have left. I have so much to be thankful for and appreciate all of it that much more because of the hard times.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

[...] Richard: "I wasted time, and now doth time waste me; For now hath time made me his numbering clock: My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar; Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch, Whereto my finger, like a dial's point, Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears. Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart, Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans Show minutes, times, and hours" [...]
[...] Riccardo: "Ho sciupato il tempo e ora il tempo sciupa me, perché ha fatto di me il suo orologio: i pensieri sono i minuti e coi sospiri accompagnano il battere del pendolo, e appaiono negli occhi che sono il quadrante; il dito, la freccia, è sempre rivolto ad essi per tergerne le lacrime; i suoni che dicono l'ora sono gli alti gemiti che battono sul cuore, la campana: così sospiri, lacrime e gemiti indicano i minuti e le ore" [...]
