Chilly Weather is coming

8 am
       It’s cold this morning!!! and that sucks because what it means is that soon very soon we will need to crank up the woodstove and thus sooner sooner we need to get a move on with: splitting wood, hauling it in, stacking it up….. all those tasks that we could have done all summer, but of course didn’t. We also need to order more wood (and stack that) to dry for next year. It will be nice to get the stove going again, though. Nice and cozy.
       I had odsbodkins dreams again last night, I’ve been having a lot of them lately. Of course right now I don’t really remember them all. And it took me forever to get to sleep last night. What I REALLY need to do is work on the exercise thing. Especially now that MHC has changed the new sport center policy back to allowing employees free access. No excuse now, except for time. Yesterday I went in really late (after all the: meet with college counselor/walk home [see, I do get some exercise]/supervise chimney cleaning and new fridge installation stuff) and after meeting with the student I stayed for even a while longer and worked on a bit of stuff so I got home around 7 and it was just fine. I heated up casserole for supper (K had a client so he ate later). I could do that more often, exercise after work and get home late. Well, as long as I thought ahead and made casserole. Like I have not done today. In the interest of getting some stuff out of the freezer, I think I will thaw some meat today. After all, Friday I will be getting a whole meat distribution from the farm and I have no idea how it will fit. I used a quart of frozen squash last night to make “pumpkin” squares for work. Not sure how they turned out – I think my big mistake was using honey to sweeten instead of maple syrup. I had forgotten which I used the last time. I think the honey is too acidic. Well, I will try one later this morning. This Wednesday lab group says they want me to bring in goodies, so we’ll see if they still do after today’s sample… the carrot squares I brought in last Thursday (which I thought were delicious) the lab group never even touched! I guess they are not a hungry crowd. Maybe lunches on Thursdays are especially good.
       I did manage to get in some spinning yesterday. I finished the singles for the last of the pink stuff, MAYBE I’ll ply it this morning. That would be nice, as then I could bring the scarf on the bus to work on. I guess it is time to get a move on.
