Friday August 22, 2014....  


     Hanging out at home doing some cleaning.  People coming through the house in the morning.  Used to have set plans on Friday but now, well without Sister/friend and her family I really never have plans.  It's ok I suppose.  I still don't know what I've done.  I still feel I have a right to know what I've done. She has her reasons.  I have no idea what they are but she has a right to them I suppose.  I'm pretty much needing to just concentrate on my life.
     Fall has made a very sudden arrival, a lot sooner than I had hoped.  The greens and fading to yellow and leaves long tinted with gold are turning orange and red, drying in the dying afternoon sun, and falling to the ground. Soon I'll be spending most of my time keeping the leaves cleaned up but it is always nice out in the crisp autumn air.
     I always ruin the season by my solid hatred of winter snow.  It's not that I hate winter, or even snow for that matter.  I just hate risking my life to get back and forth across the city at the break of dawn in the freezing cold with a foot of slush on the roads and traffic backed up for hours. Even leaving early just means it's less cleaned up.  I hate it.  I'm already pining for spring and summer and hoping things will just hurry up.
     This year has been the best year I have had in quite some time. I hope that they just keep getting better.
