Welcome to the new time zone!.   Tomorrow leaving work will suck.  We will be in the ‘go to the work in the dark leave work in the dark’ mode.   Luckily I finished moving my wood pile today,   so everything is stacked for the winter.  Friday night I had a nice fire and it felt good.  Chris and I are both fighting colds,  hopefully we are over the hump on those,  but I am not so sure.

We had a good week, somewhat quiet.  The colds kept our evenings quiet.   And I had a hard time trying to get caught up at work,  I think the cold made me feel like my thoughts were a step behind.   But on Friday I finally got close to being caught up.  Hopefully I can continue that in the week ahead.

Saturday I did some moving or firewood early, and in the afternoon we headed to Milwaukee.  Spent some time with Mom and did some shopping for her.  She is doing very well.    And then we headed for 5 o’clock mass at St Pius, to be followed by their annual auction.   It is always a fun evening with our friends, and we usually spend too much money.  We were disapointed to miss out a on a couple of usual buys.  but still had a great time.  And a good meal to boot!

And today went to brunch with Mom,  which was very good and an enjoyable start to the day.   Then the drive home and I finished the wood pile.  So now it is working on the homebrew club newsletter while I wait for the Packer Game to start.  Another night hoping the Pack can play up to their potential.   The offense has been struggling some,  but they have managed to find a way to win.   A shut out of the Jets,  in New York,  with so many injuries on the defense.  That was pretty impressive.

We have our plans set for Thanksgiving,  will try out renting another house this year in Southwest Michigan.  We will be looking forward to those few days with family.  So have a good week.  enjoy life
