Steel yourself

I have an earth-shattering revelation.

Are you ready?

Gabriel slept through the night.

I know. I warned you.

And I know that by speaking of it, I risk fate's icy fingers slipping in to tickle him awake 6 times tonight.

But I just can't help myself.

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds...

November has cooperated, serving up a drear rainy day to set the tone for the new month. I'm full of left-over halloween candy and feeling both sickly and glum. But calm too, watching the cars skim by on the road below, drinking my tea (decaf chai. yummy!), listening to the dog snore the afternoon away. Gabriel is still at daycare, napping now. I'll pick him up when I'm done with this. Am blog blocked, again. Perhaps a little nap will help.
