… can it be that there are only ten weeks left in the year?… they are rushing past… which reminds me we need to solidify plans for Christmas… make some reservations…

… the weather has been very warm… dry… that will change today… rain, cooler afterwards…

… made two of H’s favorite dishes last night… eggplant parmigiana and spaghetti with clams… the eggplant parmigiana was a Jamie Oliver recipe that roasts the eggplant unbranded rather than frying breaded… not as full of oil… the clams were amazing, plump and juicy…

… bought some hard (coping) alcohol… sigh… had a couple of martinis and a glass of wine… not too bad this morning… slept the night through…

… no HCR this AM… she must have forgotten to hit send… that’s what it usually is…

… yard work and exterior stairs work… need to finish them, install a railing… winter is coming…

… our program of getting help in the garden is working out… it’s in the best shape it has ever been heading into the winter…

… H had a telavisit with her doctor… more appointments to line up, including diagnostics for the bleeding anomaly… hopefully nothing… tense nervous days and/or weeks…
