September's Here

Tweet

Yea! That means two things. One is very significant, and the other no longer affects me. First, Fall is right around the corner - cooler weather, nice temps, fall colors - winter coming soon. Second, today is the first day of school for all the kids here. As I went to my early morning appointment all the schools parking lots were full of cars. My appointment was late enough that I didn't see many kids, but early enough that the cross walker guards were still on duty to take those late comers across the street to get to school on time. As I walked out the door I could feel the immediate difference in the air. Nice and cool, and in my apartment too as I just put on a sweatshirt. No use being cold if I don't need to be. I'm also having fun today on my first day of being fully moved into my apartment. I'm having fun because I need to locate various important boxes. I found it on the second box I unpacked. What was it - Bathroom supplies of course. It's a must have. So those are now fully unpacked and my bathroom is looking good. I just need to find the box with the right shower curtain in it. The one I have is okay, flowers all over it, but the one I love is my his and hers outdoor toilets. Unfortunately I had to throw the rug away, it was past its usefulness. So for now the flowers will stay up until I unpack that box. I've also had some fun today with my TV. Last night I couldn't get it to turn on at all. My son came in this morning when I told him and he said it was working just fine, I just had it on the wrong channel. I went back in the apartment after taking him home to try to turn on the TV and nothing. Not even a light to indicate it was still working so I figured I needed to go out and buy a new TV. This one is on it's last legs, but still has life in it. Then I got a call from my friend who helped me move. She asked me about that one switch near the door that I didn't know the purpose for. Guess what. I don't need to buy a new TV just yet. Though I do still need to figure out why the Blu Ray player doesn't work. So we've entered the Ber months, though maybe that should be Brrr months as the cooler temps are here and hopefully will stay in the comfortable level for the rest of the Ber months. I'm looking forward to a white Christmas. And now that school has started, I should also start seeing all the holiday displays for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas on display soon. I heard a radio announcer say it's only 114 days to Christmas. So get those sleds and skis waxed and ready for the slopes. It's going to change from raindrops to snowflakes any day now. Yes, I did use that S word. So how is your day going? If you don't see me, it's because I'm unpacking. Though I am trying to get my notifications also caught up and catch up with all I've been missing this week. Thanks for reading.
