Getting back into the groove

My clock is still a bit off.  I went to bed around 7:30 tonight, but just woke up and am up for a few more min. before I go back down for the night.   My last day of vacation was a stressful one.  Elise was supposed to do her magazine shoot but instead had a breakdown in the midst and I tried but to no avail.  It just isn't in the cards...she is too divaish at 6 yrs. old and that will not cut it. My fear is that I let my friend/photographer Suzanne down, she was too stressed to get her to work out, and i completely understand, but at the same time, I should of read the writing on the wall that Elise is too complicated to work with.  I am going back to work tomorrow morning.  Ready, set and hesitant.  So much going on at work, and i am sure I will not know where to start.  My mind really still is in Europe, all the pics I took are still fresh in my memory and it was just a glorious break of life to be going back to reality.  I read the news and am so depressed of what America has become.  America is too worried about the image that they are destroying the soul of what we have contributed to the world and to each other over the last 50 yrs. Granted, I am still proud and would like to contribute a spec of my soul to the cause... I am still brainstorming of what can be my realistic contribution to the world. \ Hopefully, our new president to be will psychologically bring this country out of it's funk and I can then get my food at a decent price when I travel to Europe.  I am just happy/grateful to be back with my family and my dog wherever I may be.
