What are you up to on this sunny and cold Friday?

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.

@TheHorse No, 'cause it's been some bad years for them. Low sun activity. But the solar storms are getting stronger the next years, it's a 13 years cycle I think. And now there's some corona holes that gives high activity.

@Torunn 13-year cycle is what I've heard as well. But I have no idea where we are in that cycle.

Have you seen the Northern Lights recently? I usually see them when I'm up at the family cabin in Montana. But I have not seen them in years. They always fill me with awe.

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.

She's a sweetie. It wound up at around 70 F here--not too bad. But the mornings are chilly. I bet the chocolates were/are yummy.

@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!

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.
