I'm not sure how I feel about the time change. If we didn't fall back, it would be dark here until 8:30 or 9:00 am in the winter. But in order to have some light in the morning, we have the sun setting around 4:30 during peak dark days in December. As it is, I go to work in the dark, and, if I stay late, return in the dark. So maybe it would be better to have the hour of light in the evening. When we spring ahead, by June we have the sun up by 5am and setting around 9:30 pm. I LOVE it. Is summer considered standard time?

Went for coffee this morning, and then to the mad house known as Costco. I think its best to avoid Costco on Saturday, but we needed a few things and decided to get it over with. I cleaned out the fridge to make room for the new food. DH loves to leave jars and bottles of things in the fridge with a tablespoon of product in them. Once that task was done, I cleaned out some pots and the flower bed in front of the house. We had a frost that killed the tender flowers, but the snapdragons soldier on. Some still have buds, but even if we don't have a hard freeze, I don't know if there is enough light for them to open. But I left them in place, all the same.

I finally got on the scale to discover that I was in the low end of my range. So here I was, considering being an ostrich, even though my clothes felt fine, even though I didn't look any different, because I was sure I was going to be up several pounds. The mind games we endure with the scale and weight in general.

I really need to do some basic cleaning chores, but have so little interest in getting them done. I know I'll feel better once that's behind me, so I should get going.

My BFF is no longer married, and her boyfriend is too infirm and broke to travel. I know that she is always on the lookout for travel partners, because she also likes sharing the adventure. I've noticed there are some tour groups that specialize in solo travelers specifically for women. In my experience, there's always been some people on every tour whose company I enjoy. And of course the few you learn to avoid quickly! Maybe something to look into?

No time change here! Best thing about Arizona...

I have errands to do today, but that's all. Tomorrow is a chance of rain and a high of 48. My no heat days have come to an end!

My friend Cathy and her husband are on an around the world nearly month long National Geographic trip on a private plane with 75 total people. She texted this morning to say it's incredible! The first pics were from Machu Picchu... These are the moments I think it would be nice to be married and have a built in someone to do wild travel things like that with. I could go alone, but a good bit of the fun is in sharing the experience!

Anyway, off to pick up toy stuffing... take care!

Stable is good, but don't lose more! I am at that same point of trying to maintain and not lose. Weird isn't it?

I can't imagine having 500 trick or treaters. At our prime I think we were still under 100. DS had 20 at his apartment. Zero in our old people community.
