Finally after a long and dry spell, we are back to our normal autumnal weather - cloudy and rainy. The temperature is still quite mild but definitely not dry. I don't mind actually. I heard the swish of car tires on wet streets and it was a very cozy sound.
Friday before I left work I made all my reservations for my trip in
November. And good thing too, because even as I was searching for
airfare the prices went up! Seriously - I had a search with a fare
listed and when I went back to it about three hours after the initial
search it said the results were no longer valid and they had gone up -
same flight - over $50. So I definitely got right on that. And next
day they were up over $100 more. The only thing I have left to book
today is my flight from Luxembourg to London because Luxair
requires passport number and I didn't have that with me. So - today I
will be done and now all I have to do is wait. Piece of cake.
Last week was a long, hard week. I was happy to relax Friday after work with a nice dinner and a little silly TV. Saturday was chock full of errands and I needed to be up and out by 8. Tink had a grooming appointment at 8:30, so I picked up a coffee and off we went - no traffic at all. In fact, it was so quiet and calm that I got to my nail salon 15 minutes before they opened! After the mani pedi it was off to finally pick up my second box of contact lenses that I have been waiting for, then to the hair salon. Yes - a completely girly day. Finally I stopped by the mall and that was when the traffic started getting insane. I don't know what was going on. The only thing I could come up with is that people have been enjoying this crazy good weather for so long that when a bad weekend day arrived they all flocked to the mall to catch up on their shopping! I had to park WAAAAAY far away and I only got that spot because I happened to drive by when someone was pulling out. It was totally worth the search though because I found a skirt that I have been coveting was on sale and they had my size, plus I got a really cute pair of pants and a new top. Nice score. At that point it was 2 o'clock and time to head back to pick up Tink. The trip that took me less than 10 minutes at 8:15 that morning took me 35 minutes! It was bumper to bumper traffic. Crazy.
While I was out running errands my big oak desk had been removed from my office. Hoorah! Now I only have the books to finish getting rid of and clean the closets ... no, I didn't ever get around to it this summer. But since I have decided that I'm not going to force myself to move at the end of November I feel better. I have plenty of time.
I went out and heard a really fun trio Saturday night. I needed cheering up because the Huskies lost in a terrible game to USC. The Seahawks more than made up for that on Sunday by beating the Patriots in an AWESOME game. So I got the best of both words on Sunday - Brady made my fantasy team some good points and they lost. I have won my fantasy matchup again this week. I can hardly believe it and if I'm having a hard time, my nephews and their friends must be going crazy. The football this week was accompanied by a lot of knitting. The Argosy wrap is maybe two weeks away from being done. Less if I put some effort into it. I'd love to finish it up this week. That's my goal.
