Be disciplined and don't overdo so you can enjoy the move!
While we aren't at the highs of summer, we are about 10o above normal all of October so far. It doesn't feel like autumn so when it cools into the 60s overnight the mornings are nice.
A trip to the town where I used to work today included a stop at the thrift store that usually has a good array of jigsaw puzzles. Four for $15. I have a stack of complete (no missing pieces) completed puzzles—I'll sell some in small lots on eBay and donate others. A stop at Aldi for a few groceries and I succumbed to the point-of-purchase pots of mums; the one I picked has potential to bloom a lot but was a little wilted. I picked up a plastic bag on the ground in the parking lot and opened it to put the pot in, and there was a trash water bottle in the lot near my car that I poured over it (I took a sniff to be sure it was water). Sounds odd, but the plant perked up and will be lovely on the porch.
The cookie press ordered from eBay arrived with all of those duplicate discs, so this weekend I'll sort and list the one I had and then put part of this up in a new listing. The gift portion will be set aside.
My daughter told me she finally opened the pickled okra I gave her and was blown away "it's soooo good!", an indication that she would like some more. I'll make another batch this weekend (must get a hot pepper, I have everything else). I still have some that I intend for gifts for friends, so this is the family batch.
Cat sitting is offering up challenges; the one who is usually the feline insinkerator - he'll eat anything - is being picky, and has decided to stay under the furniture. The calico that bit me is eating ok, but since she's deaf, if she's startled she abandons her plate. When I was tucking a plate under the credenza for the now-fussy eater at noon I startled her. Tomorrow is a day of complex stuff - a chemo treatment and bi-weekly subcutaneous fluids for the little guy. (My friend included a very generous bonus and thank you note in the pay envelope this time, it seems the cat that bit me had a health thing going on that needed diagnosis to save her life.) That makes two fragile kitties and one who is being fussy. I had cats for a lot of years, none quite so complex as this. These days, dogs are easier.
