Goodbye summer heat, hello seasonal slump

Most days, I can waste an hour or two fiddling with my Blogger header, the image, the font, yep, the name.
One more name change, and then maybe my ADHD can go find something else to fiddle with besides the blog.

“My life has been a true blessing. I could have never dreamed to have lived as happily and as well as I've lived all these years. And if I passed away tomorrow, all the folks that knew me well can say, 'Well boy, he sure lived like he wanted to live.'”

 

3 AM terror: pitch black, crushing weight, loud purrs

Today's Tuesday.
Sometimes you just have to remind yourself what day it is.
We've all been thinking it was Wednesday.
I really don't know why.

Espresso, bad code, and another blog rebrand

We're done with the dentist until February.
Today's appointment went smoothly.
I do wish we could stick with just one dental hygienist.
Some of those ladies are a bit rougher than others.

Books, bargains, and a bookstore cat—literally the perfect afternoon

Cowboy grew up using a wood stove for heat.
Now, we've always had either kerosene heaters or electric heat since we've been married.
Nonetheless, there comes a time in the fall when he'll go, “It's time to light the fire,” and click on our heat.
Today was the day to light the fire.
Mind you, I was going to try to hold out until the first of November, but he got cold.

Officially entering my "frozen burrito wrapped in three blankets" era

Fall finally crept its way into Tennessee.
It was in the 40s when I went out to feed my little stray.
I came scurrying back inside, shivering, to wrap myself up in my fuzzy blanket.

Thursday: ☀️🥵 | Friday: 🎃🥶 | The seasonal whiplash is next level

Well, we went from breaking records with the temperatures yesterday to being back in a more typical October weather pattern today.
It was pretty warm up until noon or so, then the winds picked up and the temperatures dropped.
Right now, it's about 10 p.m., and it's downright nippy outside.
The meteorologist said that, as of 5:30 p.m., we were 15 degrees cooler than yesterday at the same time.
It was a bit of a shock to step outside and be hit with colder air.
