dual personalities

I’m working from home in the afternoon for the rest of the week because October is going to be a busy, busy month. And let me tell you, I’m sitting here in my quiet sunroom and it is delightful. I also took a walk and reacquainted myself with my old friend, the river.

It is rather low these days. Don’t worry, I am planning an outdoor press conference on Monday so I’m sure Mid-MO will get some rain. Your plants can thank me.

All of the sudden it is Fall. The air is cool. And the light has changed. I have forgotten what it is like to need a jacket. I’m not complaining. Even if what used to be an oversized-sweatshirt is now appropriately sized.

This week I finished my little witch Halloween decoration. I’m not super into Halloween but for some reason I just liked this little witch. I stitched her almost entirely while participating in endless conference calls. The back is an orange gingham. I might add some cording around the edge–TBD.

As my mother mentioned, we continued working on the basement and foolishly went to an estate sale and bought more books. It seems that each Sunday when I return to my apartment, I have many, many trips from the car to make as I haul in my finds. If I were to ever write a memoir the title would either be:

I Need A Plate Stand

or

Where Can I Fit Another Bookshelf?

It’s a real problem. But somehow I struggle on.
