It’s cold

Nixie was noting in her latest post how hot it was supposed to be in Australia for a couple of days.  Apparently, the southern hemisphere has sucked all the heat from the northern hemisphere because it’s cold today here!  The news guy was even talking about a wind chill.  A wind chill?!?  Two days into October?!? 

Of course, this means I’ll need to start finding some longer sleeved shirts, of which I don’t have many.  And except for the one zip-front hoodie (navy) and one sweater jacket (brown) – which I have no shirts/tanks to layer under, I have no real outerwear at all.  Hmmm…this could pose a problem if “wind chills” continue to occur so soon this fall!

But enough about my clothes…

I got my meal plan and grocery lists done yesterday.  And Eric did go with me to the grocery store last night, even though he didn’t get home until almost 7.  I like when he goes with me and not just because he can reach high-up shelves and carry all the bags and push the cart!   Then he figured out how to delete a questionable file off my computer when we got home.  He’s an incredibly handy guy to have around!

Sadly I don’t have much else to say today. 

Happy Thursday!

Contractions

In the last week or so, they’ve been happening more and more.  Not so many (yet) that I feel like I need to call the doctor.  But I will definitely be mentioning it at my next appointment (very soon!).   I’m guessing, though, that such realities are here to stay now, and they are what will, if anything, require bed rest.  And if that’s what’s necessary to keep these babies in there longer, I guess I can deal.  But I hope it’s not necessary…

For some reason, today sort of feels like Friday to me.  I have no idea why.  Weird.

Yesterday was bible study and a short trip to Target.  I also spent a good bit of time on the couch.  For dinner, I made au gratin potatoes.  They took most of 2 hours…no wonder people don’t make those very often!  I called my parents’ house in the evening and eventually got to chat with both of them.  Lovely!

Today I have no major plans.  In fact, when we prayed before Eric left, he asked God to help me not to get too much done.  He’s a funny guy.   But I do have some little chores to accomplish.  I need to create a meal plan for October, which leads to a grocery list, which then necessitates a trip to the grocery.  Ok…the last one’s not so little, I guess…but maybe I’ll wait until Eric gets home and let him come along to help me.  

I can’t believe it’s October 1st today.   That means there are only 3 months left in 2008.  Crazy!

Anyway, I’m rambling now, so I should stop here.  Happy Wednesday!!
