Today has been a difficult day. I have struggled on and off with tears and disbelief, really. I slept poorly last night after going to bed so late, troubled with real life rather than dreams. I think I will allow myself the luxury of this day to mourn the lost hopes of millions of people, and then buck up, put on my big girl pants, and keep preparing my family for any eventuality. Today on Facebook Mitt Romney posted this picture. Again with the tears. I cannot imagine how devastated he must be. He is a successful man, so he'll pick up and go on to do wonderful things, but what a lost opportunity he must also be mourning.
Brad is in London for work. Luckily they got a little bit of time to wander.
To say that Brad is excited about the United States release of the the new Bond film, Skyfall, would be a serious understatement. He gets home on Friday afternoon, and he's not even coming home! He's going straight to a guys night for dinner and to go see it. He told me I could come meet them, but I think I'll leave him to his guys night. :)
He found this street vendor that was selling stamps with family names and crests on them. The man carves them all out himself, and they are not cheapo, they are made from metal.
Christmas is coming, even in prim and proper London. I don't know why I thought they'd be more stickler-y about the calendar, but I guess they don't have Thanksgiving in the middle of Halloween and Christmas to pace themselves.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
