10/29/09 Beauty of Fall, B town and the kids

I love the "park" outside my window. From my bedroom window, I look out on trees turning golden, red, brown, and still green. I look down and there is the new bird feeder. I should fill it tomorrow. But still there's enough food to attract birds. I see my favs--woodpeckers and chickadees.

Downstairs more birds are at the feeders. I make my best breakfast--creal--a mix of grains with swiss chesse and coconut oil.

Luke and I pack the car and we're off to Butler. He'll teach a convo class and then we're off to Bloomington. Sometimes I like to sit in the car and enjoy the beauty of Butler campus. So many old trees all turning colors. The sun is bright and it's warm as a late spring day. From now on warm days are a special blessing. Some areas in the country are getting really cold now. Yay. It's warm here.

We have a good ride. Although we are talking about several serious subjects--among topics--the capet issue, the Ricky issue and these won't be solved until we talk to Dan and Mindy. We decide to let Ricky put in Luke's vanity. We agree that he' s not a great person and we don't want his energy in our house. But it would be too complex to get someone else to do it--he has the vanity in his possession. Also, he owes me $1.000 which I'd like to use for our new aquarium. We realize that we have to have the carpet pulled up. I'm very allergic to it. Then we agree we'd like to get new carpeting from --a non family member.

We stopped at Starbucks and I was able to get a last iced coffee before the season changes to cold.

Luke picked up Xavier, he looked so cute coming out of school. Luke got him a hot dog and we got vanilla yougart to share.

At home Luke unloaded the car and I watched X play Super Mario on his Wii. He's getting better and better.

We ate dinner at the Turkish place. I love Pides and decided to treat myself to an egg and cheese (it's like pizza) Violet gets more and more adorable with long blond curls. She ate well and evidently wasn't as tired as she sometimes is. She loves to see what Gramma has in her purse and that's fun. She especially likes the Bach flower pastilles.

I felt better driving home. I was tired but . . . not as tired. Last time I drove home, I had to work hard to focus. I was so, so tired. This week, not so tired but . . still . . . . I have to keep taking care of myself, until I'm well and then some.

again. Just as I promised Bapuji.
