10/8: heading out

...onto the lake after dinner.  I think it was one of the best sunsets I've seen while kayaking.


10/7: spending some time

...collaging at the end of the day.  Pinks and purples. 

10/6: a smooth exchange

It seems like my work interactions have been mostly glitchy over the past months (alas), but today--when I had to go to campus to get a large-format scanner to use--the hand-off went smoothly and pleasantly, and I am so grateful for that.

10/5: being grateful

...that Chris planted a large pot of autumn zephyr lily bulbs a year or two ago.  The pot is right at the end of the walkway from our house, so we've been enjoying the flowers as we've been coming and going.  Their bright white makes me smile, and though they look delicate they must be resilient to flourish amid the fall's fluctuating temperatures.

10/4: starting

 ...a new print novel:  The Tyrant's Tomb by Rick Riordan.  I decided to read all of The Blood of Olympus series and The Trials of Apollo series in time for the release of the final novel in the Apollo series this coming week.  It's meant following a pretty strict reading schedule over the past month and spending a lot of time in Riordan's fictional world of teen and tween demi-gods, but it's been good overall, and it feels nice to be in the home(ish) stretch.

10/3: starting

...a new audiobook, Borne by Jeff VanderMeer.  I've been interested in it since it came out, and the time finally felt right for diving in.  I enjoy the getting-to-know-you stage of beginning a book; so much seems possible.

10/2: heading out

 ...onto the lake at night with Chris to watch the moon on the water.

10/1: out of the house

Chris and I went flying in the morning.  I read outside in the afternoon.  I walked in the evening and then went to the pier to watch the moon rise.
