"Bittersweet is the first day of fall, a gentle goodbye to summer's warmth and a cozy hello to golden afternoons."

I made a brief attempt to poke myself out of the blue funk today.
I got up at 6:30 and cleaned the kitchen.
I don't think anyone had touched it since Saturday.

Yeah, gross.
Life happens.
So do blue funks.

When Life Delivers a Gut Punch

I'm going to switch things up and skip the usual post.

My cousin received some devastating news, and she's been on my mind all day.

Dinosaurs, coffee, gems, and retail therapy. Celebrating another year of her

We pulled out of the driveway at 10:30 a.m. and didn't get back home until 3:35 p.m.
That’s a very long day.

Tourist traffic wasn't terrible this weekend.
I guess most of the tourists with kids have gone back to their home states now that school has started.
Actually, crowds weren't a problem anywhere today.

“All the noise in my brain. I clamp it to the page so it will be still.” — Barbara Kingsolver

Blogs aren't being updated in my reading list.
I have to go to the blogs I read to see if they're posting.
When I comment, I have to switch to Firefox because Edge insists on using my Google name instead of my Blogger name.
The comment box is distorted and very hard to use.
It seems to me that Blogger is making it harder to blog.
