Fall is upon us here in Northern California. We still haven't had any rain, but it was bloody chilly this morning as I stumbled around my apartment, brewing up my first cup of coffee.
Kitty was cute. She jumped up on my bed and tentatively pawed my tummy. She wanted to know if it was OK if she rested her head on me while taking a brief nap. I let her know it was OK.
I have the day free for writing and reading and will play music at a friend's house this evening. I may cycle in the afternoon, but it is way too chilly for swimming. What are your plans for today?

I’ve spent the morning with my husband. We went outside and played with our dog and picked some branches up. He will be going to work this afternoon.

@TheHorse it was I cut some grass after he left and burned some leaves. My son and I are getting ready to eat and watch a movie. He’s never seen Logan’s Run.

Got up, put on a coat, and mowed the back yard. It was too wet to mow, but I did it anyway because we are supposed to get rain this afternoon or evening. And I did not want to wait another three days for it to dry out enough to try again, it was already way too tall.
Looking forward to movie night with my wife.

I saw someone swimming in the fjord today, but the person had a wetsuit on. Understandable, it's about zero.
I just went out again to check if the northern lights had come out to play, but it was either too early or too faint and I can't be bothered driving further up the fjord, so they'll have to wait for another day. But no swimming. Although swimming with the northern lights above would be nice.

Awww, I want to meet kitty cat. She sounds like a little lovey dove.
I spent a good portion of the day ordering from two different online grocery stores and then sanitizing everything.
Our younger so stopped by with Belgium chocolates to enjoy for our date night.
Our weather has probably been much milder than yours.

I've had a low key day, though I did manage to get on Ebay a bit :-)

@FayeHazel Sounds like a good plan. Are you using eBay? If 90s is vintage, then my speakers and I are antique!

@TheHorse Got some things up for auction. Hopefully they'll sell. It's sort of funny. Mom and I decluttering - so I was just going to donate some things - but I was shocked that things from the 90s are now considered "vintage" and there is somewhat of a market for - 80s-90s - cassette tapes (serious!), handheld games, wigs, ... so I thought I'd give listing it a try and if it doesn't go... then donate :-)

Today was work, Mr. Horse. I am getting used to it since I started last Monday. I am familiarizing with everything. However I did have a rough week due to my anxiety, and insecurity in myself. (That's a deep topic to talk about) but in the end it is all working out for me. Thank God.

@TheHorse it's going down! You're right about it. There's nothing better than feeling secure of what one's doing. Today was way better! I actually got to make my own decisions, and it paid off!

It was WARM! and sunny here, so I spent a good deal of the day outside, doing yardwork and then reading.

It's beautiful here in eastern NC, sunny and a perfect temp with a slight breeze. Not much happening here.

Would be nice if I wrote some poetry. I decided to start my second limerick book but haven't written any new limericks, except for two. Nothing comes to me. Perhaps it may if I open up the Word doc.
I ordered Bounty paper towels and napkins and TP. Wasn't in my plans to spend about $50 but need that stuff. Would have been nice if there was some discount but none available.
I am home today. Don't feel like going anywhere.

@lovebuglena I try to use one side of the cob, so I can "recycle " it. I think @Dianne does the same.

@TheHorse When not sure, I just keep revisiting sone old shows like Friends, Cosby show, Mr. Beans and few old Hindi shows. Yesterday I watched few episodes of Mr. Beans and one old Hindi show called " Zabaan sambhal ke" ( meaning mind your language). It's a comedy.
