I have to say it has been a nice week. A nice fall week of cooler temperatures, rain, a little sun and the leaves really starting to turn yellow, orange and red. I found a few pumpkin decorations and I put them out. I have more fall things to slowly bring out and then there’s Halloween things I will get out in October.

I has been an abrupt change in the weather and I wasn’t prepared for it physically or mentally. I need to find my jacket to wear on the chilly mornings. I think it’s in the mudroom closet. I have some fall cleaning I would like to do before the holidays and I have slowly started that. I have not been highly motivated for cleaning and decluttering to be honest, I am really kind of sick of it. I do it in small increments when I have a few minutes.

Fall has made me sign up for another time in the glass fusing studio. I need to work in all the things before winter comes and I am snowed in. I think the weather is going to be too rainy for the pottery open house this afternoon. I am not sitting in the rain to make something and it is about 45 min drive from here. So we will see what the day brings.

Dish network is sending their tech to fix the satellite signal. It is so weird that the week of the opening games of football there is some big crisis with the signal. I have 7 months on that contract and we are dropping it. It is too expensive for what little it is useable and what we watch. Everything is going to streaming services including football games. TImes are changing, I have to consult google every time there is a game to see if I can watch it and where.

I really am kinda sick of having so many apps and streaming services that it takes so long to find what I want to watch. I notice I am spending more time scrolling on my phone and more time making things. I want to be on my phone less so I need to figure out how to find a dang show or game on all these services. I kinda liked having only a half dozen channels and knowing exactly when and where they would be.

Convenience, too much of it and I am overwhelmed with choice. I am overindulged on getting anything I want in a few days. I am starting to play a little game with myself. I will do my chores, exercises, and work with my hands before I start falling down rabbit holes of research, flipping thru shorts, shopping and trying to find a show.
