As I look outside my window: Leaves are falling from the trees! I love fall so much!

Right now I am: Pumping myself up to clean the kitchen. I am not excited, but it needs to be done.

On my bedside table: Lovely War by Julie Berry; Lumberjanes Vol. 12-13

On my tv this week: I can’t even remember what we watched this week. Man, I am tired today.

Listening to: Lots of depressing podcasts. I need to switch to something more uplifting.

On the menu for this week:

• Monday - Apple Grilled Cheese

• Tuesday - Beef Stew

• Wednesday - Leftovers

• Thursday - Swahili Fish with Coconut Rice

• Friday - Chicken Tortilla Soup

• Saturday - Broccoli Beef

• Sunday - Chicken Shawarma

On my to do list: I think I need to do a brain dump today. I have no idea what I need to do right now.

Happening this week: Nothing big. We’ll probably go to the library and maybe a park visit.

What I am creating: Argh! I really need to get started on my Christmas cards.

My simple pleasures: Coffee cake and coffee, pumpkin patches, snuggly sweaters

Looking around the house: I cleaned the bathrooms yesterday! Woot! They look so clean now!

From the camera: Apple picking and flower fields at Vala’s this week.
