List Time

Time for a list :)

(1) I'm still fighting a little cold or something mild. I started taking 100mg of zinc daily. It's the only proven supplement to help reduce duration and severity of a cold. Worth a try. I feel good until about 7 o'clock at night -- then I need a little cold med to sleep. I haven't felt any worse and I'm totally fine the rest of the time. Who knows how it would progress without the zinc though -- so hard to know if it's actually helping.

(2) Fitness hike with a friend yesterday. She's been working out and is up for some harder hikes. It was an absolutely perfect fall day.

Big old turkey -- hard to see.

(3) Speaking of hikes, we're set for a NY hike this trip. I enjoy finding outdoor time when we travel and I can't pass up a crisp, cool day in the northeast. 

(4) Still speaking of hikes, we're set for a bookclub hike the following weekend. I'm really, really trying to breathe some life into the club again. I want to brainstorm a few ideas for next meetup to get that tentatively in the works. I heard somewhere, best way to make next plans is to plan during current plans -- make sense?  We won't set an actual date, but we can talk about what we want to do. I'm happy to organize. 

(5) And a final note on hikes, the hiking club has been really quiet. Mostly new leaders posting short hikes. I wonder if something happened and leaders jumped ship. Still looking for a hike to get back to the group. 

(6) Packing day. I'm not as frantic as I usually am since this week has been easy and I basically packed for the exact same trip 2 weeks ago. Rinse and repeat.

(7) Picked this book for the plane ride. Quintessential fall book.

Finished this book -- such a pretty cover. It was a fun, quick read. 

(8) Got influenced on a couple of things. First up, a candle heater so no need to use a flame. It works so well and melts evenly. Great for candles that burn wrong and no need to put on a foil collar. 3 heat settings and a timer if you want.

Pine tree -- a little early in
the season, but I like it.

Zero-proof sparkling "wine." Real Housewife rec. I ordered for the spa day because 2 of us won't drink alcohol that day.

(9) Speaking of spa day, part of the gift bags are little trinket jars that I'm filling with DIL favorite candy. Got these on amazon. I have others coming from Etsy. I got a few others I returned because they were cheap and tacky looking. Lots more details coming as I plan for the January party.

(10) First frost last night. I covered greens in garden so fingers crossed. Waiting for it to warm up before I take off the sheets. It's suppose stay above frost temps again for the next bit so hopefully the garden has a little more time.

That's all from here. I have a full day, but it shouldn't be a stressful full day, if you know what I mean. Lots to do before a very early flight tomorrow, but my list is ready.

Have a good day. Later gators.
