Today we went to the beach.
You can drive right up to the water. 
It is cool until the tide comes in. Then you have to move your car back every 10 minutes.
We played in the sand. 
We saw a man sailing.
We saw a re-enactment from Alfred Hitchcock’s, The Birds. 
And then we saw one of these.

- Spinner shark
It is a spinner shark.
It was doing this. 
We decided it was time to go home.

A list of things that I don’t understand. This is not a complete list.
knitting and crochet. 
I understand that at some point in history this was a highly desirable skill and artform. But let’s face it, nothing crocheted or knitted has been in style since 1972.
Doll collecting. People actually want to collect things that could become posessed by the devil? And even if they are never posessed, they still stare at you with those glassy, lifeless eyes. Creepy. 
People that don’t like sushi. Really , this should be considered a character flaw. 
People that don’t like animals. See above.
My son’s facination with public urination . I am the mom at the park whose son is peeing on the playground equipment. He must get that from his father.
I am sure more will come to me later but I have a dinner date to prepare for.

The last year has been hard. I have spent countless hours reminding myself, and anyone else that would listen, about how hard it has been, how my life sucks, and how everything measures below my expectations.
That changes today. I will not ruminate on was has happened, but what will happen. And let me tell you, what will happen is going to be amazing.
I just realized that what you percieve your life to be, is like reading your horoscope. If your horoscope says that today you will meet the person of our dreams, you go looking for any person that might remotely fit the bill. If your horoscope says that bad things are going to happen, you look for bad things, so no matter what good things happened, all you would remember are the bad things.
So today I am writing my horoscope.
This year will be a year of rebuilding. We will be back in California by Christmas, just in time to have a lovely family holiday. We will have moved into a house that we love and Erica will be happy in school. Our stress will have melted away because we will have our old life back. Caleb will be in preschool at the community college, where I will take classes.
I know all this will happen because the universe is conspiring in my favor.
