Once again the wind is howling outside and all the bumps and noises are going to keep me awake. At least this time out there are no one hundred fifty foot trees threatening to fall on my house. In Oregon we called them easterlies and it was crazy wild with the fir trees in back of the house. The worst part were the twelve sky lights allowing me to see straight up. On the nights when the moon was full everything would be lit and the fighting shadows would make it impossible to sleep.
Here in southern California we call them the "Santa Anna" winds and they are howling right now.
I saw the movie, The Holiday and in that movie the actor Jack Black mentions that, "anything can happen during the Santa Anna winds". I honestly had never heard that before and I have lived her most my life, however, today it feels different. Perhaps cause I am back on that damn roller coaster ride! My daughter has begun her life in another city with her boy friend and her new job. It is my husband that isn't comfortable with his present employment. It was supposed to be my son's turn. I am supposed to working with him to find a local job, his first. I can't even concentrate on the poor kid. Everything is up in the air blowing around like the wind.
Do we get to stay here in our new home?
