Good evening, everyone. My latest assault on the English language for the back to school challenge is finally up for your reading pleasure. I'm also crunching to get four blog posts scheduled out for the Blogtober challenge. The building I'm living in is getting the extermination treatment, so the little one and I will be at my parents' home for a few days. Outside, the temperatures are starting to drop and it's time to get the space heater out. I'll have some dark roast coffee, with four creams, four sugars please.
I'll have some green tea, please.
My favorite weather has arrived. It's about 60 and breezy. I happily have all my windows open.
This evening was weird. I've had issues with my computer freezing up and restarting, my printer won't print, the dryer isn't heating and the cable box won't turn on. I've been banned from touching any electronics or appliances. Apparently I am bad luck. I'll have to call my oldest son to troubleshoot the computer. Hopefully, he'll keep the sighing to a minimum.
Maybe it's a sign I should be quietly reading a book.
Happy Weekend Everyone!
Sorry to hear about your computer woes, gill. Hope your son gets it sorted out for you. I'm the geek in our household (20+ years working in IT) so computer problems tend to land on my plate. My son is more than capable of dealing with stuff, too, but he's too far away now to be much help.
Furnace is now on, though not running much yet. Got some yard work done including, I hope, the final mow of 2019. Definitely Fall though not a lot of leaf action around here, yet.
Time to switch to herbal tea, I guess.
My tea shipment has arrived. A couple breakfast teas, a couple greens, a "Duke of Earl" (Earl Grey with a shot of vanilla). Kettle's on!
Definitely Fall here. Single digits when I got up this morning. With Canadian Thanksgiving looming (next Monday), it's about time.
I actually had an idea for a challenge/prompt (not a spooky one) last week and its slipped off into the dark, dank recesses of my mind now. I'm sure it will come back to me like a bad chili.
I can't really take credit for the coffee. That's Larry's thing. I avoid the stuff like the plague. Now, Scottish breakfast tea, I know a thing or two about *takes sip*
I keep trying to write but have not had any success in that department.
I did get my computer woes sorted out. My oldest son was able to remotely clean out the virus and reformat my computer so it's working well again. At least since he was doing it remotely I didn't have to see any eye-rolling I just had to listen to sighs. He's always very helpful but I think his generation thinks my generation shouldn't have computers.
Now I am waiting for the dishwasher repairman to return again. He put in a new motor but that only solved one problem. Had to order two more parts which will hopefully fix all the issues. It is only 6 months old so it's rather irritating that it does not work properly.
I have been painting too and working on my house these days. I spent so much time with my parents that I neglected mine and it needs some work. Finished painting and redoing two bedrooms that my boys used to occupy. Now we are going to remodel the master bath and I will finally get the soaking tub I have always wanted.
It is a beautiful fall day here, cool and breezy, my favorite weather. I just stopped in to say hello grab a bottle of water and I will get back to work. I hope everyone is having a good day.
Cheers!
You must be out West. Hasn't got that bad in Ontario yet, though it's edging closer. Only 7 when I left for work today (8am).
Sure you wouldn't rather have something hot? Melted steel goes good with lemon, I hear.
Howdy folks
A large sweet tea please
Reading a book to distract you from the sighs of your son fixing it sounds a great idea! How is Apollo doing today?
Everyone is so literal today. I told my neighbour to go f... 
and he did.
