As I look outside my window: Bright and fairly warm. Our proper fall weather has warmed up again.

Right now I am: Sipping my fancy coffee, prepping to read a bit before making brunch.

Thinking and pondering: How can I compel other adults to actually adult? The eternal question.

On my bedside table: Lots of spooky reads sitting there, but also some fun romance. Not sure what I will be picking up next.

On my tv this week: J and I have continued our ridiculous Dropout game shows. We also finally started Dimension 20.

Listening to: I got back into some podcasts this week, binging If Books Could Kill and You’re Wrong About. Basically I spent my Saturday listening to Michael Hobbs.

• Monday - Me out at book club

• Tuesday - BBQ Chicken

• Wednesday - Jerk Fish Chowder

On my to do list: So many things, but up first are the Academic Co-op tasks. I want to get everything set for our first meeting on October 10th.

What I am creating: I did some work on my Memory Planner yesterday. I might be able to sneak up for awhile this morning…

My simple pleasures: I bought myself pumpkin pie sauce and have been making myself fancy coffees. Really loving the fall flavors without the $9 price tag.

Looking around the house: Things are decent. I’ll be excited to put away the big co-op supply bags after this Thursday. They take up a lot of real estate next to my chair. (I can’t leave them in the garage and it gets too hot in there.)

From the camera: Flower (weed?) along our hike on Friday.
