Eye Think The Weather is Seasonably Spooky, and We'll See (Perhaps) What the Weekend Shall Bring

Wow. Two wind events in one week, all in time for the spookiness of the holiday. 

I am slowly wrapping up the the mid-term teaching assessments and trying to get my head around the projects that need the most attention. My neighbor, Deb, had surgery on her shoulder, so will be out of commission for 6 months, so I baked the Kentucky cake for her, then spent another part of the afternoon preparing a brisket to bring to Pam, Kaitlyn, and Patrick as they celebrated Pam's mother's birthday. I was unable to attend the funeral because of my surgery, so this was my way of paying respects, with food and flowers.

My costume is ready, but where to go? It's supposed to rain all day, and I don't think anyone has anything planned. Perhaps I'll only dress up for my trick-or-treaters. I'm ready to have a swash-buckling time (with some cheese and apple pie, too). 

I did manage to treat myself to a trip to the store and picked up 4 new pairs of running pants, all with the optimism that I may one day be able to run again. Perhaps from now on it will only be walking and hiking. Either way, I was long overdue for something warmer to put on my legs. Can't wear shorts for much longer.

All is good. My optometrist finally heard from the opthalmologist that my eye is good to go, so now I await a couple of weeks for getting a new pair of reading glasses.

And the winds blow, and blow, and blow. The rain falls and falls and falls.
