It's our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation statutory holiday today (it's a date, not a day here. It would be nice to make it the first Monday in October every year but it's going to be September 30th every year instead so happy Tuesday! Sleep in!). We went and got a box of Orange-sprinkle Donuts with proceeds going to charities as expected and are going to do some outdoor-related big chores, but only a few, and then clean and prep the fireplaces (gas and wood) and the woodstoves for fall and winter. I'm ready for it. I bought hot chocolate and drug out all the heavy blankets. All the quilts have been washed, line-dried and put away. The curtains have been washed and rehung. The crock pots are lined up at the front of the cupboard and the picnic stuff is in the back. I have put my birkenstocks away upstairs in the walk-in closet and brought my clogs out for fall.
So ready.
I took my ass to Knit City last weekend and the tattoo show too. It was busy busy. I got some handspun yarn. I saw the coolest artwork. I'm knitting for everyone now. I'm full up with projects until the spring. I'm dusting off the skeletons to perch in various locations around the property and I'm enjoying the leaves beginning to turn. I'm doing a sauna and a cold swim every single morning now too and taking melatonin and magnesium at night and sometimes when I sleep I sleep so well it's like winning an award.
