The first frost arrived.
We turned on the gas fireplaces.
You can feel the difference in the air temperature when you force yourself out of your bed.
We finally had the batteries replaced in our Swiss Army Watches.
It is the most frustrating enterprise. They must be sent to the city and installed in a particular fashion - they are considered waterproof so they have to undergo some type of pressure test. We also need new watchbands. The vendor doesn't sell the bands any more so while the watches keep time... we still cannot wear them on our wrists. So, now we must search out new watch bands. By the time we spend the funds to replace the bands; we could have bought new watches. This drives me crazy.
We also have a rather comfy couch and chair and we would like to recover them. I do not have the skills and time to do it myself, so I called around to find out how much it might cost to recover them with new fabric. It is prohibitively expensive. So, instead we throw blankets over them and pretend that is the way we like it.
I am struggling with work. I am micromanaged to the second. Some days are worse than others. Yesterday was a BAD day. I was mostly frustrated with my self. I struggle with the desire to find a place where there is more freedom with my work day and yet I know that moving to new position will bring its own trials and challenges. Changing companies brings its own stress. I am not looking to climb any more corporate ladders - I just would like to do my job. I like my job - when I get the time to do it. There are many good things about my current posistion. Sigh.

Recovering furniture is so expensive!
Doesn't it seem wrong that it's more to recycle the stuff you have instead of buying new?
I do hope you sort through your feelings about your work - that's a tough one too.
you must have seen the blanket that is covering my chair and decided to copy. it is the cutting edge of style, don't you know
