Greetings all

More sun today though it rained heavily last night. Between that and coughing it was a noisy night for DH. But I am happily tripping along on my cold pill - no wonder they are used to make illegal drugs. So I picked up and delivered payroll and stopped at CVS to get coffee. They were out of what I want so I might be forced to order from Amazon. ick. Then on to the studio to pick up new stuff. Hauled it up to the gallery and picked up cash for deposit. Beautiful drive up the coast.

Yeah I am with Peps - I like fall back but hate spring forward. During my working years it felt like I had a little extra me time on that one day. But soon it will be dark by 5 pm and I don't like that. Many years ago I went to the Philippines. It's close to the equator so the difference in day length is not much. Dark at 6 pm no matter what. I do enjoy changes in seasons.

Yay Paula on progress. And yay for soup. My favorite thing too. The chili I have been threatening to make for days is going to happen tonight. Burger needs to be cooked. So we will eat healthy for a few days. Not tempted by all the halloween candy.

So last night DH left a dish of potato salad on his chair arm while he attended to Tesla. Well, Poppy seized the opportunity and helped herself to it. Tee Hee I think it was a plot by the two dogs to distract DH.

We started a new series called Kaos last night. It's the idea that the greek gods from Mount olympus are real and in the present day. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus. Not sure if I like it but DH does. I think its kind of making fun of religion in general.

I attempted to call the doctor's office with the idea of scoring some codeine cough syrup. Could not even get a call through. I have a bottle of the stuff but it's 12 years old. Might be ok for scotch but probably not medicine.

And a great Morbid Monday to you too LOL!

I like fried okra! No ketchup please!

Great to make a home together isn't it? My DH says he doesn't care what I do but that is false because he definitely has opinions on what he likes or not. For instance he didn't like how dark the living/dining room was here. It was dark because it was painted in very dark gray and the paint soaked up all the light, plus the furniture was all dark leather and dark wood. Now with the wall half white, a light paint above and a white couch it is nice and bright.

I thought the BMW emblem was showing LOL. DH and I both like the make. His last 4 cars were BMWs and my last 3 convertibles up north were. So though we considered other makes we felt most comfortable getting a BMW. An added benefit is that though the car is 7 years newer than our other cars, the instruments/features are still quite similar. The unparking isn't great in the car - it can only back up by following the same path it took to get into a spot. In other words you can't come out facing the other direction. But I think that when it perpendicular parks it actually backs in so you can drive right out - we shall see when I try it out.

I finally understand what kind of car you guys bought, Liz. I didn't know it was a BMW until I looked up "X3". DF has a Touareg, which I love, but it would definitely be too big for you. I love the self-parking ability of a car--can't wait until we have one. Parking and unparking (is that a word?) is definitely one of my skills that has diminished over the years.

Yesterday I drove back to Kentucky with a fully packed car. It was a long day, but I had no tire or other car issues. DF has medical appointments this week, which he wants me to be present for. Today we'll be looking at cabinets for kitchen, closets, bathrooms, etc., a big TV, drapes, etc.--none of which we'll buy, but just taste-test and educate ourselves about. I think we're going to have a lot of fun making this house our home. DF is delighted--he's in his element.

Boy, it's dark o'clock in the morning these days. More coffee. Y'all have a good one. :)
