I'm thoroughly enjoying the cooler and less humid weather that we have been graced with the last
several days. Not kidding myself, I know that the too warm and sticky shall likely return a few times before October, but wow! What a reprieve.
Monday was spent as usual doing laundry because I never know if I will be called in for coverage and I don't want to go in naked..eww...for everyone, lol. The Ciggy shack was rolling for the moment and I beat it down there to save some money and my poor left hand. Rolling does save, but it is a major time consumer and my free time the last few weeks has been almost nonexistent. I came home and in between loads I tackled my front porch preparing for fall. That means that Seymour, the giant cherry tomato plant, said his sad farewells.
After all the knocking over due to storms, and the constant need to water, I must admit he did produce some very tasty tomatoes, some of which I still have in the frig. (my front porch seems about twice the size without him though.)
I'm feeling particularly lazy today, but I know that eventually I will be up and cleaning, I'm just dawdling before the energy kicks in. I'm very ready for fall, but that will include some damn fall housekeeping, and it cannot be put off unless I want to fret each and every day. All the curtains need cleaning, and the windows.
(SOMEBODY'S nose prints get wiped off and seem to mysteriously come back overnight..hmmm..wonder who that could be..umm..Gilly??) I'd love to rent a carpet cleaner too, I have been here over a year and a half with only spot work done.
This will likely be the last fall I spend in this apartment. Mel and I will be searching for a bigger place that will accommodate 2 cats and 2 people in early 2013. After the first month or two of feeling lonely I now really enjoy coming home to my sanctuary. But it will be a lot of fun to share a home with Melinda and Jasper, Gilly and I are ready.
The holidays are fast approaching..I know my new schedule will have me at work on Thanksgiving so the doldrums of eating alone again are not a worry. Christmas? If I keep this schedule I shall be off. I might be able to afford a few gifts this year, and I am willing to travel to visit family. Lord knows there is not enough room here to host much of a gathering. Next year? Hell yeah....family holidays will be back!
