1. It is officially fall, and it’s almost October. I love September, both the month (I was born in September) and the song by Earth, Wind, and Fire. But this was a really busy and stressful September, so I am okay with leaving it behind. Our work schedule will be easing up a lot, and, well, I’m still waiting for the temps to go down, but it’s good. And the temperatures dip down and then go back up, but there will be a time when they go down more, and there are no more 90 degree days for the year. Happiness! (By the way, even though I am asking for cooler temperatures, I still reserve the right to complain about the temperatures if they go down too far. It’s just what we do in the Midwest.)

2. Chocolate pudding. Because it’s lovely. Smooth and dreamy, and soothing. It’s a perfect way to end the evening.

3. Dinner tonight was a big pot of spaghetti and meat sauce. Is there anything more comforting than spaghetti? It’s playful and fun but also delicious and filling. And yes, I have talked a lot about food this week, but it’s how I deal with stress. And the last few weeks have been very stressful. So there’s been more pudding than usual.
