I love that it is finally autumn!!! Of course, we won't be able to tell it here in Florida for another month or so. Nevertheless, it is nice to know there are cooler days ahead! This picture was taken by one of my bloggy friends, Shanda. She lives up north, of course. 😉
Well, we are a-l-m-o-s-t fully recovered from our bout with the cold/flu thingy at our house. My hubby is still sniffling quite a bit, but the allergens are still rampant here, too, so we think it is more allergies than cold. We hope so, anyway.
Isaac is continuing to get his days and night mixed up. Saturday night, he never did go to sleep. He stayed awake until 5 a.m. Sunday morning! Sigh…that's not very conducive to getting to church on time, is it??? In fact, he and I didn't make it at all to the morning services. (I've been dealing with a lot of pain this weekend, so I stayed home with the Sleeping Handsome One.) 🙂
Doug begins another tutoring session today, and we are quite grateful for this bit of extra income. I do, of course, still have my shop on Etsy, but it seems like nothing is selling there lately. I'm hoping that things will pick up nearer the holidays.
I was able to make it to church last night, and to choir practice. We have started work on our Christmas cantata! Yay!!! I love Christmas music and I love to sing with the choir – it's like 2 of my favorite things all rolled up together. So fun!
My goal this year is to actually sing IN the Christmas cantata. Usually I end up sick during December and have to watch the cantata from the audience or on the internet. It is very discouraging, I can tell you, after doing all that work, practicing all those songs, and to end up not being able to perform it together with my choir friends! I am going to be working very hard to get myself healthy and well and STAY THAT WAY for the next 3 months!
I guess that's it for today's update. I leave you with a picture of Kepler in her favorite new hiding place:
