Halloween decoration update:
Zero's string broke.  He was laying on the stairs yesterday.  All three ghosts have been pulled and put in the garage awaiting modifications to sturdiness against the wind, the spooky hanging thing on the light out front is down after his attachment broke, two of the three tombstones are also in the garage as they keep coming lose from the ground and falling over, one of the two metal signs keeps leaning over and needing reset.  *shakes head*  C'mon.

I just want my own little slice of Halloween, is that too much to ask?  And maybe, not in my dreams?  Last night I had an apocalypse themed dream.  It was Monday, it isn't like I finished watching Walking Dead on Sunday or American Horror Story on Wednesday, nope, instead it was after an evening where I should have watched the Good Eats reboot but instead worked for an extra hour.  Coincidence?  It does feel quite catastrophic I'll admit, but I don't think work is inspiring apocalyptic thoughts.

This afternoon, at long last, October actually arrived. The temps have dropped and my after walk work actually felt like it was autumn. Of course, the leaves aren't really changing - at least not getting the vibrant shades, but some leaves are falling off.  I thought the change in sunrise/sunset triggered the change in leaves, not the temps, what gives?  Regardless, I fear we won't even see the beautiful colors this year - just a sudden drop of leaves after a sudden cold snap.

I was aiming to get another mow in this morning, but when I woke it was raining.  I'm hoping tomorrow is the day.  I guess the good news is, if it stays cool, the grass will definitely slow down.  The cooler temps have me wishing, once again, that I had a couple of windows down in the basement and garage so I could allow some cooler air in there.

The ghosts have gone out front, come back down, and went back out.  I need to buy some actual duct tape to secure things better.

I got a few things back on the rails so far this week... for example, the lawn got mowed between Avery's nap on Sunday after we returned and while my Favorite Egg watched her on Monday night.  I'm also proud to say I got the sheets and blanket washed.  I finally ordered a king sized vellux blanket and a king sized bedspread, just in time for the cooler weather that is surely on the way.

My attempts at crafting are coming together on the ghosts.  With some help from my Favorite Egg we figured out how to pull them together.  I suspect they'll need some revamping since there is a rubber band involved (likely to break), but they're good to get out front at this point.

Tonight was little gym followed by a stop at the grocery store.  Getting used to buying milk is quite the challenge.  Yep, I forgot to get milk.  *sigh*
