Almost Autumn

     So my peeps, this blog will be a two-parter. First and foremost the harder of the two. I found out over the weekend that a school friend from long ago was shot and killed. All they know is that a neighbor called him over to his car and then shot him when he was there. In front of his wife no less. Why? No clue, the man is not talking. I did find out my old school friend was the president of the Home Owners Association. Perhaps the guy was mad at the HOA , there is an ongoing investigation. I texted with him about 2 years ago, so it's been a long time. We were not close but I went to school with him, his family I need a local bar that was active in the community. It's just a damn shame.
    So as tragic as that was (is), the rest if this blog has to do with something near and dear my heart.  AUTUMN it Fall if you prefer. It's starting to get darker earlier and there's a sense of the Autumn season in the air. I went for a drive today since I was offered and the trees on the highway are just starting to change color. I saw a sign for hard cider, alas the store was closed. Lol
     We have lots of places to get it once the season goes full swing. I also noticed that less people are out at 7pm than before. It's like our basic instincts are kicking in. That primal body clock that tells us the season to start staying close to home us not too far away. For me personally, thus is when I start to wake. The cooler air (soon please) makes me more energetic. I may start wearing make up more and oh yes, sweaters and boots. Love them. I also feel a pull towards making the house more cozy. Interesting time though as in about 2 weeks we move into the apartment, so we can fix the house. We are going slow.  Going to order the bed and mattress next weekend, bringing kitchenware with us from the house. New litter box for the cat. Tray tables and a chair from ikea.  We will bring in things from the house in stages. We need a sleep couch. Found a cool futon at Wayfair. It's very mid century looking. Sleek looking in a cool grey. The headboard on the bed is also grey. The cat is also grey so this works well.  And it's neutral so we can bring in some cool splashes if color. I asked and we can walmount the television and even paint if we want. She said they repaint before a new person moved in so at least the paint will be fresh. There is recessed lighting throughout the place but I know me. I will get lamps eventually, as I prefer the look of a room lit with lamps. It will come together. And then if we stay, we're set if not all the new stuff will go into our updated and fixed house. So either way this year and most if 2018, will be a positive move forward.
Tomorrow is my mother in law's birthday, she would have been 93, and my mom is the day after, she would have been 92. I always was amused that hubby's mom was a year and a day older than my mom.  Lol
     Well it's time to wash my face and get ready for bed. Cup if tea I think first. So take care and ciao for now
   

Just Been Crazy Busy

Hey all, it's been crazy these last few weeks. Work is Uber busy which is good but my phone reception at work really sucks ass!! So going forward, the apartment is all approved and we move in on Oct 1. This way we can get the house to where we want and still not sure if we will keep it or sell it. Hubs birthday came and went and although funds are tight we went out for a modest meal and had a lovely evening. Not much to tell, yet so much. Lol. Not going to bore you all. So those who know my number, ring me. I've called a few times but peeps are busy so I don't want to pester anyone.
     Back feels better but then I had a lovely lady issue that had me going for cranberry pills. All back to normal now.
     I'm sure I'll have lots more stuff to write about once we move. Untill then, ciao for now.
