Ever Want to Just Run Away?

I do at the moment. And I really couldn't tell you why. I've had a very nice relaxing weekend. Edward and I helped out with a charity concert that ran very smoothly on Saturday. The turn out was a little low but, hey, any donations are better than no donations and the music was phenomenal. It was primarily Christian themed country and gospel acts - so if anyone out there is interested - be sure to check out John Sines Jr. He does a really impressive show. I'm not usually an "inspirational" music fan. Not that I have any thing against Christian music - I just find that most acts leave the music a poor second to the message. John is exceptional in that while I have no doubt the message is just as important to him - the music never takes second place.

Sunday we enjoyed the ridiculously warm weather by taking the motorcycle out for a 45 minute drive to a local Fall Harvest festival, enjoyed the crafts and fresh cider, went out for a nice dinner. All in all just a wonderful weekend. I came into work today to find no major crises or problems - so where this "run and hide" is coming from I just do not know.

Maybe its delayed stress from last week. I had a hell week last week. One of my brothers had a bout of appendicitis that had him hospitalized. I couldn't get away to get up there which made me crazy because work was insane - tons of things going wrong that needed to be fixed - a new guy coming into my old job that wanted lots of my time trying to get up to speed, a HUGE presentation to make in front of the CEO and the whole freaken company, people out on vacation, sick etc. But this week looks to be pretty calm. Rob is home and mom says he's doing fine, there is a major trade show going on for our industry - so a lot of folks are off at that from the office leaving things pretty quiet here. Business is humming along, I'm catching up on e-mail and desperately wishing to be anywhere but here. Go figure!

Part has to be that my Fibro is kicking up but its nowhere near as bad as it has been at some points in the past. So, maybe I just really want to play hooky and enjoy the last of this weather because I just know - when the temperature finally starts to fall it is not going to be a gentle slide into cooler days. Mother Nature is going to slam us into winter like a wicked hip check into the boards at an outdoor hockey rink up on the Iron Range.
