It was a B+ week, all the way around. Not a bad ending for a week that began in the midst of moving hell, and after losing our Clown Princess. Freddie is starting to emerge from his hidey-holes, and we might get him a playmate this weekend. At the best of times he absorbs a lot of attention, and we know he must be lonely when we are both at work. Mellie was elderly and didn’t roughhouse with him, but they did like to stay within sight of each other – and now she’s gone.
Now that we are at least post-Halloween, the Christmas books don’t feel quite as unseasonable as they did in September. The year is definitely winding down. I like the crisp weather, but I hate that it gets dark so much earlier. The end of Daylight Savings Time, even with the extra hour’s sleep, is not my favorite thing. Speaking of which, did you set your clocks back last night? Or did they set themselves back for you?

A B+ works for me! And I know what you mean about the Christmas books. But you have to start on them early or you’ll have to hustle later. It’s already the second week of November! I caught myself browsing for scary Christmas books today. LOL

I’m totally guilty of having my Christmas decorations up already. It still feels really early for that. I hope you have a great week!

For some reason, I am willing to let Christmas start already this year. In past years, I’ve been a big proponent of one holiday at a time. I think I just need the good cheer right now.
I can never remember how to change the clock in my car. I’ll drive around an hour off until either the time changes back or I dig out the manual and look up how to change it.
I’m sooo glad someone else can’t figure out/be bothered with the car clock. 🙂
I hate DST and wish they’d do away with it altogether.
I don’t do much Christmas shopping anymore. I mostly do gift cards for a select few family and friends. But, for the very few people I buy real presents for, I’d promised myself that I’d finish everything up by the first week in November to avoid the rush. I’ve only done about half the gifts. I’m already late. Aaackk!
