Sunday Thoughts It's Now Fall

     

Picture at Pexel.com

     Or is tomorrow officially fall? I never remember if the seasons change on the 20th or 21st, but my weather alert text said today's the last day of summer. 

"Last day of summer! Increased sunshine with warmer highs in the mid-70s, isolated severe storms possible. Pleasant weather this week."

     It's a perfect morning sitting outside while the dogs play and I have my coffee. I've had a good weekend so far and am ok with getting some rain. Though, my daughter is working a festival and rain could keep crowds away. She's helping her friend in the food truck, but was hopeful she'd see some good return on her time in tips. Yesterday I met her roommate at the finish line of younger daughters 1/2 Marathon.  Her time was not unexpected as she really paced herself at a slow steady run. We had a nice lunch after. Later I joined family for a perfect night for a fire at my sister's. My BIL grilled burgers and hotdogs and others brought sides. Never a shortage of food.

     I'll do a good tidy including dusting and vacuuming and bathrooms need cleaning. I'll watch church before football. I took bean soup out of the freezer and that will be fine for a late lunch, no breakfast or dinner after all the food yesterday. I find a day (or two) of light eating after a heavier day helps me manage the splurges. I should do meal planning and grocery shop needs are mostly just fresh produce and dairy. 

     I thought last week was going to be slow, but Sunday to yesterday I was busy. This week really should be slower. I've a AAUW regular  meeting  tomorrow night with a salad supper. I'd like to play trivia Wednesday but that will be wait and see where my energy level is because things have really been neglected in the house and outside and should use my days when not doing paid work to get caught up. The garage needs more purging and sorting before the cold weather comes. Plus, with trips coming up, staying home helps me not spend. I hope you have a pleasant Sunday.

    Staying home helps me not spend either. I wanted to get some almond milk, but it can wait until tomorrow as I have an appointment right next to the grocery store. Bean soup sounds good, I’m roasting a chicken for dinner and will serve green beans with onions as the side. Trivia sounds like fun, my friend Linda told me I should play bingo. I don’t even know if they have bingo here or not. I hope you enjoy your Sunday.

    I'm excited today is the last day of Summer. It was a really good summer but I'm ready for fall. Now just to get mother nature to cooperate. Have a good week.

Monday Morning Thoughts for a Busy Week

      This just working part time is more than enough when my week feels busy. I don't recall the last time I had so much in a short period of time. I also have cat duty for my sister morning and evenings until Thursday. She and another sister joined Memphis commuter sister on her work trip.  Monday: Besides a few meetings and adding more to the project documents I have two personal tasks. One is picking up my daughter's bike from the repair guy. Her car is too little, and I might keep as she looks for a more road worthy version. I'm not opposed to a couple useable bikes here. I also have an appointment to get a copy of my marriage license. I have one, but not sure if I'll need to send anything for social security so wanted a second. If timing works, I am going to try to get to at least the second half of my great nieces first highschool soccer game. The Minnesota Vikings season starts tonight.  Tuesday: I have the AAUW Knowledge and Nibbles event. I joined out ...

Monday Thoughts on the Week Ahead and Behind

      I was worrying with Siobhan on Sunday about her dear sweet kitty. He wasn't eating and drinking. She says he feels better and vet found no issues. We love our pets like family. They're with us with our sadness, give love in our joy so I'm happy for her and him he's more himself. I'm writing this as I have grandpup at my feet, Little Miss purring from her tree, and pup snoring alongside me on his floor pillow. Today's is officially Little Miss's Gotcha Day! She had some Churu last night and will get the rest today. Two years ago the closest thing I had to cats was feeding my sister's and the wandering neighborhood cats. Now, there's three in my family. Saturday, changing the channel as she didn't want soccer on the TV.  The day after she joined us, weighing just under 4 pounds, but already the boss.      The week ahead looks more my speed, but also busy. I think my sister and I are going to see Downton Abbey tomorrow night at Tuesday night p...

It's Worse Than I Imagined

      The shit show since January 20th has been a big reason for my reclusiveness the last few weeks. Let the comments fly. Create a crisis. Lie that you resolved it. Get your sycophants to suck it all up. Rinse. Repeat...for four F' ing years.  Oh, and let's shout, "but her emails" while a foreign oligarch is raiding our private personal data with his hoard of teenagers. Let's pardon January 6th criminals, several of which immediately committed additional crimes.  I said it was going to be my only political post election post but man, it's even worse than I could have imagined.
