oh glorious day...

I love fall days like this...sunny, blue skies, temperatures in the mid 60s a bit of a breeze to blow the leaves around...heaven...I wish the rest of the fall could be like this.

I was out cleaning up the yard and getting rid of stuff we wouldn't need any more. Filled up a couple of garbage bags and managed to get myself covered in ants too since one of the tarps I was putting over the woodpile must have had a nest in them.

Speaking of woodpiles...

Does anyone have any wood they don't want (I know, I laughed too)...I mean, I'd be happy to come over with the truck and take away any fallen trees or limbs you don't want (as long as they are reasonably sized so I'll get usuable firewood out of it). I'll also take down small to medium sized trees that aren't too close to the house or power lines at no cost if I can keep the wood. I'd like to build up a bigger stockpile. So please, please, if you have trees you want down or wood you want taken away, call me!

I've got to work all weekend, but that should keep me busy. However it doesn't seem like my last three days off was all that off. I don't know. I have this list of stuff to get done, but it never seems to get done. That said, I did switch back to Verizon (love it!) and I started to clear up the yard.

For some reason I'm on a baking kick today. I took butter out to bring to room temperature last night so I'm planning on making some chocolate chip cookies and I was going to do a pumpkin pie but realized I don't have any pie crusts. I might like to bake, but I hate making pastry dough, so the pies will have to wait until I get the store again.

I was at Walmart this morning...ugh...I know, I hate it, but it's so cheap, especially for things like toilet paper and plastic containers. I was weak. In my defense it was first thing in the morning though, so the store was almost empty.

No real luck in the job search. Found a few things to apply for. I think at this point I'm just going to start expanding my search into things I'd like to do but that may not really be what I had been doing. Can't hurt to try I suppose and a career is ever changing, so maybe it's time for a change.
