Fall in Full Force
Well it's finally gotten chilly around here, with a few 70 degree days thrown in just to mess with your head. I ran by work yesterday to say hi to everyone. It was mostly like no time at all had passed, which I think is the most interesting thing. I suppose 2 months isn't a really long time anyway when you think about it. It seems like to me in life either a whole lot changes or not much changes.
So just in case I forget to blog before thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving! I'm still working on my sleeve. I am reminded why I never finish knitting any sweaters, because of those dang sleeves. I can't wait for next summer and more tank tops. However just last night I was letting the dogs out and I got such a nice smell of the crisp fall air. It's a very particular smell. All the leaves here have begun to fall and have mostly all changed color. It happend very rapidly because it was hot for so long. Some have even fallen while changing.
So I sit often and think about what the next 4 months will bring and how nice it is not to have to be at work, and have nothing work related to even think about. I wish in this country there was some sort of rule that after 5 years of working at the same place everyone gets a month off, every 5 years! How wonderful would that be? I bet people would be happier and more productive. Everyone needs a break from the 'same ol same ol' every now and then and a vacation isn't the same thing. A vacation is an opportunity to do something you have have always wanted to do, it's not a break from everything. Thats why so many people come back form vacation tired, hah.
Having a true break is first have a week or so to just recover from life, and then having days pass you by and know you don't have to do anything or be anywhere tommorow or the next day. My situation is not exactly like that as I do have something very important to do every day all day, but there is still that wonderful feeling of "nothing" looming over head. I've had to remind myself there is no rush, you have no reason to need to hurry home today, no reason to worry if you don't get to all the things you want to, because you have tommorow and the next day and the next day. It reminds me of summers home from schook las a child.
Here is baby girl in her first dress!

Breaks are lovely, especially with someone so cute as your little pixie! Very cute dress!!! (Isn't it sad as americans we also tend to feel bad about using our vacation time??)
Christine says;
Vacation. Ah yes. I always book myself out a few extra days when returning from a trip. I do that so I can relax, do a little laundry, watch a movie... do whatever, whenever. I agree very much with you.
And that little girl of yours is just too precious. That dress is just adorable! I love the faces she makes.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!!
