failing at fall.....

yesterday was the first of october and i was determined to post something all fall like, while wallowing in the fact that september came and went in a manor that made my head spin, but i failed.

instead, yesterday was a day where i walked in circles, as i just couldn't seem to find my footing

 and every time i looked at my laptop, it laughed at me.

granted, i vacuumed and i caught a few dust bunnies by their furry little necks and disposed of plants, both inside and out, that had finally put up their hands and called uncle, 

but i didn't shower until 7pm and dinner was a bowl of cereal.

at 3:15 this morning i woke up freezing. 

prior to that, i had practically been sleeping on top of husband, 

trying to warm myself with his body heat.

the idea of getting out of bed and looking for a wool bodysuit {which is what i felt i needed} seemed impossible, but finally i managed to move and made my way to our closet, where my short sleeved nightie came off and a long sleeved nightie and pajama bottoms went on. if socks had been handy, i would have put them on, too.

fall, you're here, all wide eyed and bushy tailed and i'm trying really hard to like you, but this is a relationship that always takes some special courting, so be patient with me.

{note to self: get down comforter out}

i did decorate a little bit for fall, so that's a start. 

at a self serve farm, i bought 10 pumpkins/gourds and dried corn stalks to spruce up the front of our house. next, i guess i'll jazz up the twiggy wreath on our front door, but only if i can still can find some fall decorations at michaels. 

sadly, they already have christmas decorations filling the aisles. by the end of the month, they'll probably have valentine's day hearts out. 

gosh i hate it when retailers try to make our months go faster,

since we all know that sadly, they fly by on their own just fine.
