Currently - October '18

I don't really like starting every one of these posts with a "holy cow, it's already [month]!" vibe, but seriously, how are there only three months left in 2018? Things have been particularly busy at work lately, and Keizo has been working most Saturdays so we end up trying to squeeze a lot in on our shared day off on Sunday.




wearing - I've had switching my closet from summer to fall on my to-do list since mid-September, but it continues to be in the 80's here on a regular basis. Bored with the clothes I've been wearing all summer, I've started pulling a few things out piece by piece from the fall box. Hopefully consistently cooler weather will arrive in the next week or so and I can complete the switch.

collecting - I'm trying not to collect as much these days; we should probably have a yard sale to unload the stuff we've been collecting in storage unit that came with the apartment.

making - Chili and homemade bread for the friends that joined us for dinner last night. Both dishes were "firsts" of the season; chili hasn't been on the menu for a while, and the oven has been off limits since using it will heat up the whole apartment.

taking - On a new role at work as the result of a promotion and some personnel changes. I've been asked to consult on more projects and went to an interview for a new project last week. It's both fun and stressful at the same time.

planning - Activities for those free Sundays, which quickly fill up since there are only so many in a month. Last week it was hiking, this week was shopping and cleaning before friends came over for dinner, next week it's a bikes-n-beer tour, and we have plans for a short camping trip at the end of the month!
