Good Morning,

Fall has arrived once again on LI. It got so windy yesterday and the temperatures dropped. This morning is bright blue skies and a definite need for a sweatshirt.

I have Directv coming this morning. DS is having all kinds of problems dealing with his HD service. New channels and he's not getting any of them. Everyone's TV seems to freeze up at various times. So someone will waiting between 8 and 1 for that. DD has to drop her truck off for service so I'll have to follow her out and bring her back. I'm expecting that will take up my morning. Not sure when I'm going to fit in house cleaning. The house is a bit of a disaster. It's been awhile since any TLC has been provided to the house.

Tomorrow I'm getting my new dryer delivered. This is the first time in 31 years of marriage I've had to buy a dryer and (knocking on wood) have never had to buy a new washer. Multiples of other household appliances but never a dryer. I was a bit confused but opted for something fairly simple but with a lot bigger drum than what I have now! I'll soon be tackling laundry piles again! Such excitement.

Once again I blew off a workout this morning. I woke up late and just find myself with absolutely no motivation. I was so consistent during September but October isn't going so well.

That's about it from here. I hear DH rumbling around so need to get some breakfast and boggie on out of here!

Have a super Saturday!

Some days we really need to make an effort to slow down and enjoy what's along the way.

I think I miss some things as I rush around; I also think sometimes, I'm too lazy! I work part-time and can't tell you how much I enjoy coming home and having time to relax for a bit before I start the housework and what not. Walking the dog keeps me noticing things. She stops often, and I get a chance to look around the lovely neighborhood I live in. Plus, my GS has given me a renewed sense of the mundane - for him nothing is mundane - everything is meant to analyze and figure out how it works or smells or tastes.



It cooled off considerably here; yesterday it was also wet, so I was wearing multi-layers plus a hat and gloves to walk the dog and baby. I don't like the cold weather much. It's a lot sunnier today. Tonight, we'll have a fire in the bedroom fireplace -- can't wait.



I'm off to workout then go to Barnes & Noble to buy DH a gift for his birthday today.

Today was the perfect slow down day. I didn't rush out of bed and then enjoyed my shower knowing I didn't have to teach Pilates until 10:30.

Keep on keeping on!
