Sad State of Affairs.....

 Alas, it's a sad state of affairs that today couldn't be enjoyed properly by sitting wrapped in a long cardigan on the back deck sipping a warm beverage and enjoying the long-awaited cool weather and autumnal colours beginning to show up in the foliage.... (FINALLY!) It's only in the lower 60s today and supposed to be in the lower 40s after the sun goes down. Happy Days once again- my favourite time of year!!!!

I'm going to enjoy at least a month of not having to run the A/C nor the Heating before actual cold enough weather sets in. Feeling a bit chilly? Put on an extra layer or put on a hoodie. Do NOT turn on the heat before November 1st!!! I'm not even joking.

Anyway, I digress- Instead of the long-awaited back-deck scenario, I had to complete what has turned into a three weekend deep clean and rearrange of my bedroom to accommodate a slim Christmas Tree- which I am still waiting to acquire.

After completing that task, (again-FINALLY), I am taking a short nap before I have to get dressed and head off to work a 12-hour shift at the site. I'm hoping it will be an easy shift, and no one should be there until about 5am. I've not worked a weekend shift since changing companies, so I don't have a clue what it will be like. I agreed to two Sunday shifts before Halloween; we will see how it goes after that holiday.  My side hustle of helping create holiday settings usually starts about that time of year and I'm waiting to see how many of my former peeps will call me for a repeat job since I'm back in the States again.

I'm going to do whatever it takes to get to the place I want to be in my life. Right now, there is only ONE thing left on my Bucket List- and come Hell or High Waters I'm going to see it done- unless God has a shorter timeline for me.

I reckon we will see!!!

In other news, COVID is alive and well and running rampant at work.  Lord Protect us all.
