ok so today was (what i consider) the first true day that really felt like fall. i mean, we got it all-the chill breeze, overcast, leaves flying all over the place…yup, it’s that time of year. makes me look forward to thanksgiving. actually, this weather reminds me a lot of mid-november in miami when i’d go out for a sunday drive with my parents up to ft. lauderdale and just walk around. there’d alway be something happening; an art festival, boat show, this one time there was an oktoberfest thing happening & i remember wondering why it was going on in mid november as opposed to october…anyway, it’s cold-or chilly, whatever. the point is that the ac’s need to come down soon and the landlord better start turning up the heat.

as for today-i’m soo happy it’s friday! i got off to a slow start…was supposed to go exercise in the morning before work, but i vaguely remember shutting my alarm up a number of times, till i finally decided to just reset it to about fifteen min before i had to leave the house (by 8:35). worked like a charm. got to work on time, did my stuff, rearranged my space so that i have more room where i sit, then headed back home around three to finish my day’s work from home. this is where i remind myself how lucky and happy i am to be working in the city…no driving, home is less than twenty min away…’T’ delay may mean i might have to take a ten dollar cab ride home…or maybe i have to put up with a stinky ‘T’ car…or maybe i have to cram into a car with a zillion other people for ten mins…the beauty is that i don’t have to think about it! i just plug in my earphones & listen to my music, or grab a book and read, or maybe just look around and people watch (it’s interesting to see how different we all are and at the same time are not so different) and just ride…so effortless.

anyway, it’s late. tomorrow, a day full of greatness (one can only hope!). hopefully i’ll be better than i was this morning and get a little work out in before my day starts. maybe even go apple picking (or maybe sunday?)…which means…pies, pies and more pies!!! (or lots of sweets that involve apples anyway)
