Just Rambling

Not really, just wanted to use that mood for once!

Hope everyone is fine. My office is cold for second day in a row. It is not 10/15 yet so heat isn't on, and since temps have dropped here on the east coast-it was below 45f this morning, the building is cold. Long sweaters are on everyone! It is great moving around, but if you have to sit for any period of time, brrrr!

I have work to do, but not too much. Some of the initial inspiration from the CPE has worn off, but I will be getting it back this weekend- will be resetting up our kitchen and reorganizing the garden room, etc. We will also be doing the rest of the laundry-I have a lot of clothes to organize! Anytime I reorganize one part of my life, another part goes with it.

DH is pretty calm, although last night was hard for him, once we got some laundry done, after I made supper, I was too tired to have any fun and games. I tried, but body just couldn't. Tonight-we'll see. NCIS and NCIS LA are on, but afther those two shows, it will be bedtime.

It is great to go in my closet in the morning and know I can fit into anything that is hanging in there! That hasn't happened to me in too many years.

Croceting is going slow. Too many other things to deal with, and still maintain calm behavior.

I will be walking home with DH tonight. We figured that instead of trying to get the bus, we will both get train, this will allow me to walk more and that means at least 20 minutes walk for me every night!!

I have always loved this part of the year; the cooler temperatures, the changing leaves, the freshness of the air,- all combine to make me move. We have been opening the windows to the apartment. As long as our neighbor isn't on his 'balcony' smoking, it is great! Sweetie can't sleep because of the trucks and the repair work still going on-but she lays in her bed and looks out at it all. When she has had enough she goes and sleeps at the foot of our bed-where she sleeps at night.

Last night she was funny-we were doing some of the laundry-I kept coming back to the apartment with things like the non-dryables etc. and she would run to the door. When she heard DH's voice she bounded across the room to the door like a puppy! DH didn't quite believe me, but she was happy to have her humans home. I am her primary, but she likes him too, especially when he his calm.

I expect a little trouble tonight-this is the first day I won't be eating lunch with him in awhile. Work isn't conducive to it today. (That's my story and I am sticking to it.) So we will see what happens. I have been really watching my validating statements. Really trying to "hear" the emotion behind the statement, and really trying to consider his side very carefully. It is very tiring at times. I have told him that I will need some "ME" time this weekend once we are done everything. And I will. while doing laundry, I did get to read a little and so did he, but not much. And I did NOT make the mistake of staying up to read more like I did on Sunday-he needs the Cuddles-it is a weird thing. But I will work on a boundry dealing with it, once I figure out what boundry "I" need. I am working on it.
