Monitoring your intake is important and is good that it's visible to you, Charmion. And for frozen meals check out the Lean Cuisine Marketplace gourmet type offerings (I just looked - that particular variety doesn't show up any more, but they do have some "Favorites" that are a bit more adventurous). I didn't buy them for diet reasons early this year, I bought them because they looked good and I wasn't going to be up on my feet a lot cooking while my new knee healed. There are also some really nice bags of frozen ravioli that might appeal to you.

I did a marathon sewing session last night to get a dozen masks off of my sewing table. I'm trying to reduce the number of sewing fabrics I have sitting around - this wrapped up two of the early patterns I was using.

The whole furniture moving thing really has become something I'm working out in my head right now - the question being how drastic do I want the changes to be? And if I move the whole entertainment set of stuff it means running a lot of new wires. I have both sides of the room set up for wired Internet so the devices will still stream at the fastest rate. It's just configuring things (and deciding what needs to be retired.) And what about moving the new freezer? It really would be helpful if I didn't have this 1970s step-down den thing going on.

Any lurkers out there want to emerge and share their fall activities? How are the sheds and the garden, Jon? Has Patty Clink settled down for the winter? What is Donuel working on this autumn? Anyone else?
