A Beautiful Blue Sky Day today!!

Although it was a cool 40 degrees this morning, by noon it was 54 degrees. I had started out with a jacket for my jog, but turned around and put it and my gloves back in the house, then went on my way.

Sure looks like the season has changed, with the summer/outdoor stuff being put away and the oranges and browns of autumnal decor dotting homes in the neighborhood.

The sun felt wonderful.

Back inside, I cooled off, breakfasted, showered, laundry.

I went out for a few fresh grocery items--the store was busier than I had expected. Ick.

A quiet evening.

I was surprised at how much my heart was flopping around today, during the afternoon. It usually only happens in the evening. Maybe I was just noticing it more?? And, how much does it bother me? Enough that I notice it. For now.

Tomorrow is unplanned....

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Workday.

Finally, a nicely-paced day with good co-workers; I felt like I got something done. And wasn't scrambling or juggling or missing/forgetting things.

Thank you God.

A safe drive home, thanks again.

My heart has had a couple hours of bopping around and can quit anytime now.

I'm tired and look forward to not having to get up in the morning.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Another night of wind and light rain. Our power had "blinked" at some point, but we did have power.

Daniel wanted to go out for breakfast. At first, I told him to go by himself, but changed my mind and went with him. While we were out, we heard that there was a large area that was out of power. Thank you God, that it wasn't us....

We went back to the JC and did the "closing chores", finally leaving close to noon. It was still a little windy with a light rain.

All the way home.

We got unloaded, Daniel got his things turned around and left for the trailer.

I was happy that he finally got to spend a little time at the lake. He seemed to enjoy it.

Me too.

Tomorrow is a workday.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Wednesday 10.19.2011

I didn't hear any creatures in the wall last night. Maybe because I kind of slept, or maybe they are finally gone. Or maybe because the weather is yucky.

It's been a gray, windy, sometimes rainy day today.

I fixed pancakes and eggs for a late morning breakfast for us. The rest of the day we did a whole bunch of nothing, besides watch the wind torment the lake and the trees, and watch the ducks bob around on the whitecaps.

When Dan woke up from his nap, we had a yummy supper, and he watched a couple movies in the evening.

We'll be going home tomorrow.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

What a great day today!!

I slept pretty good, overall, woke about 7:30, stayed in bed 'til about 8. Dan was already up.

Breakfast, then got things packed to go to the lake. Dan had to go to the post office; I finished packing the cooler and foodstuffs and carried all my things down to the garage. When he got back, he loaded the car, and....we were off.

An uneventful trip, thank you God. We arrived at the JC about 12:30 pm. Cool, breezy, 50 degrees, with low gray clouds that foretell of the winter to come. I was happy that both new furnaces fired up easily, and within 15 minutes it was warm inside. Woo Hoo!!

I was a little anxious about looking in the chipmunk bucket. What if there's nothing in it?? What if there is??

Nothing in the bucket. So, did the creature that came in and put corn under the pillows forget how to get in?? Or did it eat the D-Con...??? Time will tell, I suppose.

We ate our Subway food before getting started on the outdoor chores.

We both changed clothes--Dan put on his wetsuit and waders (it was a photo op I missed) and started getting the dock sections apart while I got the hose and other needed items from the garage to clean the awning. He and I got the dock out, and Tom and KS came by as we were getting the support poles out.

That job done, we watched Daniel clean the top of the awning. We visited a bit; T&KS were ready to leave, and going to Big Bob's in Hale. We decided to go, too.

I enjoyed the afternoon with them.

Back at the JC, we finished up outdoors. Grill and outdoor chairs in the shed, green boat moved into big green shed. Evelyn and Bob came out and supervised that.

When we were finally done, Daniel went through his collection of scuba stuff. He seemed pretty happy tonight--he's gotten done what he wanted to do, and can now just enjoy it.

Me, too.

Not sure what we'll do tomorrow. The weather is not looking so good--rain and a high wind advisory. Hmm. I don't like the wind.

We'll see what happens.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
