Fall is definitely upon us now. It took ages for the leaves to start changing around here, and even though they have, everything still looks so green and lively. But for the past couple of days it has gotten very cold and today, on top of being cold and cloudy, it’s also windy as hell. I really just want to crawl under the covers and go back to sleep. It was warm while I was in bed. It wasn’t cold until I got up and started moving about.

Alas, I have much to do and it won’t get done unless I get up and about and actually do it. I just wish this house wasn’t so cold. I got out of the shower a few minutes ago and it felt like I was going to freeze to death before I got dressed. I then spent twenty minutes applying as much lotion as possible to my skin because it bore an uncanny resemblance to a reptile’s skin – it was just that dry and flaky. But in all honesty my skin could be a lot a worse. I’d rather have dry skin that takes a little extra lotion than have oily skin that causes humongous breakouts and force me to shell out all kinds of extra money for acne treatments. Must look on the bright side of things!

I’m going just kick back, check some email, drink some nice hot tea for a few more minutes (mainly to give the lotion a chance to set in and do some good) and then I’ve got to get to cleaning. The place is a mess and I sadly let it get this way. The kitchen is the worst, I’ve got Mt. Dishmore in there; the dishes are just stacked on the counter and in need of washing. Bad me, yes I know. Strangely enough the bathroom and living room are the cleanest. Go figure.
