MIDDLE OF THE MONTH

SEPTEMBER 15th.  Have mercy... tis the middle of the month already and AUTUMN is penciled in on the calendar to start in a week.  A new season.  Part of me wants AUTUMN and part of me doesn't.  New territory and a fresh start.

We have no medical appointments this week.  Praise the LORD.   This allows us some time to do other things like stay in the neighborhood and tidy the storage unit.  Sounds like work to me. Best to make the best out of it.  Next week is a different story about medical appointments. 

The heat has gotten to me.  Irritated and worn out.  I've gotten stir crazy staying inside so much this Summer that when I get outside in the heat it is so awful I can't stand it.  Come quickly AUTUMN.  I am looking forward to temps in the low 70s.  Walking plans will kick in again I hope.  sigh.  

Making plans to go to TOPEKA to drop off some metals for cash.  Over the last year, we have gathered brass and aluminum to cash in at a recycling plant.  Extra coffee money.  Cha-ching.  As I was looking over a web sight, they have listed other things that you can cash in such as frying pans, Christmas lights and old cars.  I had no idea that old Christmas lights could be cashed in at the recycling plant.  I never thought about cashing in an old frying pan.  grins.  I'm just not with the program.  What else could I take there and cash in?

I'll have to give that some thought and do a walk about the house, garage and yard.  hummm.  If I really want to downsize and liquify, I should consider doing this.   What is just sitting around that I'm not using that could be cashed in???

Back on track.  I seem to go down a rabbit hole when blogging.  Okay.  Go to Topeka, eat, drop off metal, stop off at God's Storehouse on Senior Day, go to SAMs, get some medicinal Iced Tea and pick up some fresh veggies and fruit.  Sounds like a plan.

Middle of the month and almost the middle of the week.  Time gets away from me.  Can I do anything about this?  Plan carefully and be a good steward of my time as best I can.

A good steward is someone who responsibly manages the resources, talents, and responsibilities entrusted to them,
using them wisely to honor God and serve others.

Have fun doing this,

IN THE MOOD FOR AUTUMN

MONDAY ON THE PRAIRIE.  Awesome cool temps early in the morning, but has climbed throughout the day.  I am in the mood for AUTUMN.  In a blink of the eye, it will not be here.  LATE Summer seems like it is going to stay scorching the ground.  FALL arrives in about a week.  I wish it were already here along with temps about 73 degrees.  I will begin anew with a walking schedule in the mornings.  Praying it happens.  

Two loads of laundry under my belt this afternoon.  An abundance of paperwork completed.  Fridge cleaned and produce list written out for restocking.  It seems like I am over buying the veggies and they rot before I get them used up.  Not a good plan.  Adjustments needed.  

If I RESTOCK ON TUESDAYS, then I probably could go as well just before the week-end and be well stocked for week-end meals.  Where I live, I do not have close access to a grocery store, so there is always a need to travel to the city for veggies and fruit.  I enjoy getting out of the house to shop.

AUTUMN 2026 starts on Tuesday, September 22nd.  Calendar wise, the temps will probably still be hot.  Soon, very soon, it'll be cooling off. 

May this week be productive,
