Let the Real Week Begin

Feels like a Monday.  Hope you had a good holiday weekend as summer comes to an end.  I love fall and can't wait for all the things so I say bring it (!!)

Hormones in full swing and my energy is TANKED.  Seems the pattern during a hormone swing is wake up around 1 o'clock and don't go back to sleep until 4 o'clock -- then I sleep until 6 or 7.  Not a good sleep pattern for me and I'm left with low energy in the morning and a big brain fog.  It's the feeling that I wake up and am already fantasizing about bedtime.

Anyway ...

Hubby and I caught the Labor Day sale at Ashley Furniture and ordered new recliners for the movie (TV) room.  The old faux leather, electric ones we have are actually disintegrating -- it's gross.  Hubby choice regular old fluffy rocking recliners.  We chose a sofa too, but it was out of stock so we'll wait to find one we like.  The recliners are in-stock and coming in a couple of weeks.  Had to get moving for football season.

Polly seems to be feeling better -- phew.  She slept through the night last night.

I finished a fun suspense book -- We Were Never Here (Andrea Bartz).  It was good and the ending held up.  Not genius writing, but the kind of book you want to pick up and read all the way through.

I also watched ClickBait on Netflix last week.  It was good too -- guessing until the end and the ending was a shocker.

Heading to Asheville again this week -- Thursday through Saturday so we can bring home the final piece of the sectional for the kids.  The weather is set to be perfect -- high in 70s and low in 50s.  We'll get some outside time and do a haul to the paint recycling center for the 3 big tubs we still need to dispose (only one paint recycle day each month).  Did I mention we hardened 30 gallons of paint last visit?!?!  What a chore.  Once hardened, they can be tossed in the regular trash.  The big 5 gallon buckets are too heavy and too full to mix in hardener.  We didn't grill this weekend in GA, but we thought we'd do a simple grilled dinner on Friday in Asheville.

Sunday I got a "fall" pedicure -- burgundy and met my girlfriend for coffee on a patio.  Much needed catch up.  Not a bad weekend.

Today the pups get groomed and I tackle a list of home chores and errands.  Man, I need some energy. 

Have a great day and stay well.  Later gators.
