Falling

The weather has turned. The past two days we've woken up to rain, which is lovely after a brutal summer. The sun comes up later and later, and nights are turning colder. Most of the trees have already turned. The one outside my window has turned yellowed and in the early mornings against the black, it looks like a ghost flitting around.

In all honestly, I'm kinda glad the temperatures have cooled. I'm now able to knit with wool and it's wonderful. I've joined the second ball on the body of my sweater. It's about two inches away from waist shaping, then back to full body.

GoJira has moved into the bedroom with us at night. Grilltech figures by Christmas she'll be on the bed. Right now, she's on the floor. Both Fran and Uggy aren't quite happy with this new change.

I've decided to the from the couch to 5K with a twist. Or I would be if my phone supported the application. (sigh) Now I'm waiting for Grilltech to get his new phone, so I can get mine.

I've been having twisted work dreams; not sure if it's stress or something else is going on. Today Gnome called me over to his desk and showed me an email about another job I had put in for; they wanted to know if I'm a hard worker and would be a good fit for his team. Gnome is a bit conflicted about that one, because he knows I'm happy. Bored, but happy.

Dear Self,

Next time make sure you have something in the cup before putting aspirin in your mouth. It was a long walk to the break room.

Love,

Me

Fun With

Ran the Tagxedo app on my blog. It seems I spent several years titling posts with the month and day.

Damn You....

...Steven Moffat. The last episode of Dr. Who had me crying. It was very well done and an excellent ending for the Ponds.

List Day

• I counted three cars at the bar this morning
• The weather turned a bit cooler three weeks ago and trees have decided it was time to start turning
• Today it was downright chilly outside
• It was weapons training on Tuesday night, my right arm and left index finger are bruised and sore still

• Every time I rub my nose, my finger lets me know it doesn't like that motion

• The fact you used to do my job doesn't give you the right to pitch a fit about me moving some of your agents around! Suck it up and deal with it

Drive By

All week I've been coming up with good blog fodder, but haven't actually gotten around to posting. Heck, I haven't even written any of it down. By the time I get home, it's skipped my mind because I have more exciting things to do. You know: knit; watch the boyz; watch Prometheus; and karate. I'm back to karate after taking most of the summer off. I do remember most of the moves, but boy am I sore.

I've got another foot, foot and a half to go on my hood scarf. But it's sitting. My hands are stiff from working with those size threes. In order to combat the soreness, I've started a sweater for me on size nine.
