Sept. 3: Worrying is like paying interest on a debt you don't owe


Today was a worry wart day. I spent some time worrying about work, about my property taxes due next month, about financing a trip in the Spring, about my dad fighting stage IV colon cancer. And then I spent some time in the garden after work and my worries melted away. I mean look at those beautiful artichokes and blackberries! That's what life is all about, getting back to basics.

Score one for Sarah today, I avoided a trip to the vending machine by bringing Chex to snack on in the afternoon. Even after being lured by my boss! ("Sarah, I'm heading down to the vending machine, want to come?" "No thank you, I've got my tasteless corn Chex!") I wonder if I could sprinkle some herbs on them to make them taste better. Gotta use up that GD cereal since I'm not letting anything go to waste. Ugh.

I bought my tickets to Chicago for the marathon this week. At the same time I'll be earning the last miles toward my ticket next Spring. I can't wait for my visit to my hometown. My favorite season to visit Chi-town is the Fall. Absolutely gorgeous. It almost makes me want to move back... but not quite.
