Our Summer was very short this year but we are having a nice introduction to Fall. Warm days and crisp clear nights this season. It seems as though I am having difficulty keeping up with the season. The early mornings are honestly, kicking my bum. It's dark, it's cold, and 5:30 comes too fast. I'm in a deep sleep when the alarm goes off. I don't like it. Hubby and I are in bed by nine.
Am I the only one struggling?
It's making me whiny.
We've been busy, some of the gardens are cleaned out, the firewood is stacked, the fire alarm batteries got replaced and light bulbs got changed. It's Fall cleaning and organizing at the Stone House.
Usually in the Fall I am baking, trying new dinner recipes, feeding guys and their friends. This year it's just the two of us and I'm still on the "you want to grill something and I'll make a salad" routine of Summer.
I am trying to find my place as an empty nester. It's not that I am not busy. We are having a dinner party next week, it's the docent breakfast at the museum next week, the museum open house got moved up a week in October so I'm making a ton of phone calls, lots of new inventory in the store, I've got meetings at church, two vacations in October, we have a trailer to restore, and the usual work and house agenda.
It's amazing how quickly the time I thought I'd have free has filled.
But, it's all good. Really. I just need to find my new groove.
