I need to park this someplace more conspicuous. But any reminder will do.

It's Wednesday and cool outside. Too warm inside for me. I took my temp. 96-point-something.

Forgot to take money to the grocery store so I only had $12 to spend. Bought grape juice and yogurt.

Kathy brought a pumpkin pie to lunch. I was a piggy; ate two pieces.

A bologna sandwich is calling me...

30 septembre

End of September. 48 degrees at 11 a.m. and a beautiful blue-sky day. Early autumn. Many of the leaves have changed. Seems a bit early but we had some wicked hot dry smoky weather for two months and the trees may have suffered.

I took a bath at midnight. Soaked in the dark until the water went cold then filled it up again. I usually take showers but my feet welcomed the heat. Do I dare mention exfoliation? Kinda like the trees. My body could really use a weekly soak and a massage. Especially my legs, feet and right shoulder.

I need to write today if I have the energy and focus. I'll be looking forward to October prompts. I can only hope they aren't just cliche... if so I should write what I want andignore thecontests. I need to catch up with PPC and should write something for Express it in 8.

Flopped contest-wise. No energy at the last minute and missed the deadline in two contests.

Finished all 13 episodes of "2gether the Series". I agree with the critics who loved the first few episodes before the side stories and shananigans took over.

I might skip the sequel unless it's more focused and rated higher.

Made banana-cheese biscuits from scratch improvising with the recipe. So-so but edible.
