How did it get to be October? The trees up here are starting to look like they are on fire as the leaves take on the reds, oranges and yellows. I really love fall, even if it means it’s going to start turning cold and before too long I’ll be in the 6+ months of winter - we have a very short fall and spring and summer (I have a lot of wool and flannel in my wardrobe).
This year is the year I promised myself I was going to be a knowledgeable and engaged voter. I was going to watch the presidential debates and the vice presidential debate. Last week Amy and I made it through 20 minutes of the first question and were sufficiently bored/annoyed with the candidates that we busted open the Legos Batman and made it through three levels. Tonight I told myself I would sit down and watch the VP debate. Somehow I managed to pop open a bottle of wine and catch up with my DVR-ed TV – I’m not sure what happened, I had such good intentions. I’m such a bad voter :(
Other than some weird self loathing for not watching debates (it may be wine induced) things are going well. I’m in the acceptance phase of Aaron being so far away. I miss the nightly txt messages, I miss talking to him in general. But time is moving quickly – well at times it does. The days seem to drag on, but when I look at the calendar the weeks seem to be flying by. I also notice I talk to Bagley more and I just wish he would learn to talk back or learn to say something other than “woof”. I need somebody to help me censor myself. I find myself saying things now that I know are just inappropriate - But I sure have fun saying them :) Wine says its time to go do something else and since nobody here disagrees …
Only 333 days left.
