Changes

Well, here I am making changes again. The first change came yesterday morning when I decided to start walking on the treadmill (again). Hopefully this will become normal and not just 'another change'.

The second thing that changed was my hubby took off to the farm again to lend a hand with hopefully harvest. It was raining yesterday when he left but they said they had some machinery repairs to do (inside) so he would still be busy. Hopefully they will get sunshine and a breeze to help dry out things and they can get started on "bringing in the sheaves" (I had to throw in that little ditty which came to mind)!

Since I was 'home alone' I could do what I wished for the evening so sat down with my salad and macaroni to watch a movie that was just starting 'Gran Torino'. My brother said I might like it and he was right. Aside from all the swearing and ethnic insults (which were many) Clint Eastwood did a wonderful job of portraying a man who was caught up in prejudices as well as a lot of hurtful and agonizing memories. The end is what you expect but 'getting there' is quite the process. Isn't that just like life! I cried a lot! So, this morning, the eyes are bulging and the lines are definitely showing! Right after that show was another movie called something like "Sometime in April" about the ethnic slaughter in Ruwanda. It had already started when I came upon it but the gist of it was the story of a few people and how they survived during this ugly time. Very, very sad that something like that did go on while the world watched and discussed it. It really demonstrates the scary side of our humanity. Anyway, the face this morning is full and puffy!

On a lighter side, the sun is supposed to come out so I am looking forward to that. There are lots of plants that have died due to the frost and I need to get them pulled out and cleaned up. I guess tomorrow is the first day of fall and that is the sign I need to get out there.

However, I do finally have my hair appointment so that needs to take priority over everythingelse! I think for women, HAIR must monopolize our thoughts. At least for me. "I like it, I don't like it, it's too short, it's too long, it's too flat, it's too curly, it's too straight, etc. etc. etc." I am sure it will not end when I get it done tomorrow either. I just hope I like it from the 'get go' (if you know what I mean). I can start 'disliking' it again in a few weeks!!

Enjoy the sunshine while you can. It is raining heavily in Newfoundland!!
