Ahhhh The beginning of fall

IMG 0416It’s chilly here this morning. It’s 60F outside. Not quite snowy weather but it’s on it’s way.

I actually had to put on clothes before I headed for the coffee machine.

All the windows are open and it’s 65F in the house. I pulled the sheets back and certain parts of me said, “whoa gotta tuck in here,” I pulled on a pair of sweats and feel a bit more comfortable. Now I’ve got my coffee and all is right with the world. 

I like this time of year. It’ll still be warm during the day but the nights are great for sleeping. 

I’m still waking up at odd times during the night but things are shifting to a more normal rhythm. It’s going to take some time for me to fully readjust. 

The labor day weekend is upon us which means that I’m probably not going to be going anywhere. I’m not ready to deal with crowds and shitting drivers. The good news is that I don’t think I have to go anywhere and that’s just fine.

Finishing up with the payment of the bills from San Diego and then I’ve gotta transfer the remaining cash out of the bank down there into the bank up here. Then I’ve gotta get the automatic payments being paid out of the account up here.

By the end of Sept, San Diego should be fully in my rearview mirror. That will be a relief.

Now it’s dealing with a job, health insurance, and cleaning up this place.

The trim on the house needs to be painted but I don’t think it’s gonna happen until Spring. The temperature swings have a big effect on the way the paint dried and it would be a waste to paint, only to have the paint fall off in a month or two of rain/snow.

I was looking for a photo to put in this post and stumbled across something that had escaped me. For the 3 years I was in San Diego I really hadn’t taken many photos. I used to take a ton of photos, I didn’t actually have to go out to the net for much. 

It’s ironic since I’ve got a phone with a pretty good camera. I wonder if that means that I just didn’t see anything much in San Diego that I thought worth capturing. The same with writing or blogging, I was tired all the time and just didn’t want to do anything outside of working and coming home. 

It didn’t help that I wasn’t making too many friends. I was surprisingly disengaged.

On some level I knew this, but this morning I kinda had my face rubbed in it.

Anyhow, I hope you’re comfortable where-ever you are. I’m going to enjoy the morning coolness then get on with my day.
