judecorp | The sort of day that "Fall" is supposed to be.

Thanks to Daylight Savings Time (Ugh. I /loathe/ "fall back." Sod ark at night. So dark.), I awoke at 7:18am completely unable to get back to sleep due to increased brightness. This means that I didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked (I'm shooting for big sleep this week to make up for the week that led to being sick), but I was also very awake, having gotten up naturally. Pseudo-naturally. I'm pretty sure the /other/ reason I woke so early was that A. had the heat up to 80 or so and was totally burning me out of my hidey hole in bed. Feh.

The early morning gave me some time to leisurely go about some things I would have had to rush if I'd gotten up at 8:30. I ate breakfast while watching a fascinating show on cancer (I am fascinated by cancer. Or, rather, by all terminal illnesses. Since I was a child. No idea why.). I took a nice, relaxing shower. And then I went to the post office to send one Princess package Priority Mail. Mmm.

The weather is crisp, and clean, and autumn. There is a large gathering of leaves outside my front door that I delight daily in kicking and stomping and crunching. The temperature is perfect for sweater, no coat. The sides of the road are alight with oranges and yellows. It looks and feels like Samhain.

If you were
Swirling under my feet, my dear,
Would I delight in the
Crunch of you under my shoe?
Or would I, instead, pick you
Up with nimble fingers and
Stuff you in a book
To remember in winter cold?

~//~

Stuff my shirt with leaves
That I might look busy here
Yet return to you.

ObKFG: Please remember, no matter what, that you /are/ a very good friend. To everyone. Not just me. And needing other people doesn't make you less needable.
