It feels like a new start today. It's mostly because the weather has turned very cool and it seems like Summer is over. It's going down to 10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) tonight! It's getting dark earlier. Also i moved many storage items from the balcony inside in preparation for repairs out there so it seems different inside too. I'm in long pants and long sleeves for the first time since Spring. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice and cozy!

I welcome the change! Here in Ontario we get dramatic seasonal change so it seems like a whole new world four times a year. I was eager for my Fall hypomania but now i've been remembering what bad judgement i have during them and i am going to do what i can to keep it as tame as possible.

I kept at my mindfulness meditation today. I tried to play Scrabble mindfully for the first time and felt faint pleasure. I noticed how complex it was.

@swimmingly: You sure sound happy. Glad you found someone new to work with and that they seem promising.

@Jennifer 1967: Sorry you cried when your daughter left. But if she goes to online learning she'll be able to visit again soon?

@Soupe du jour: Glad you're so excited about moving. I wish i could share it with you but the memory of my own failed attempt to move across country in 1999 gets in the way. There's a lot that's different about our situations tho so i will keep my reservations to myself and and wish you well!

Hugs to all who struggle!
