Outside my window...
Blue skies with a few puffy clouds. It looks like a gorgeous fall day! It was hard to get up this morning, thanks to DST. The Sunday morning extra hour of sleep is awesome; the subsequent days not so much.

Too much about my stupid thyroid. My metabolism is grinding to a screeching halt; my temperature is really low, and it's really depressing. Hair is falling out and really dry, too. Weight gain. Ugh. What's worse is the doctor who tested my TSH this summer and said my thyroid is functioning fine because TSH is normal. Grrrr. So that means there's no help without paying lots and lots of money to a doctor who does tests that are actually useful. Call me frustrated.
I am thankful...
That our insurance hasn't changed dramatically compared with the horror stories I'm hearing and reading about.
From the school table...
It's Monday, and they're up and working hard. Well, they're taking a break to eat pancakes right now....
In the kitchen...
Chili last night. PW posted a chili recipe that sounded intriguing, so I combined some of her suggestions with my recipe, and managed to win the Chili Cook-off at the neighborhood Fall Festival! Of course, the competition wasn't too stiff with only 3 entries, but still.
I used ground turkey which I almost never do, but her recipe called for chicken, and turkey is what I had. Plus, if you're feeding the neighborhood, it's cheaper than beef. I also added beer and 1 chipotle pepper per her suggestions, but I'd rather leave out the beer and use 2 peppers next time. I used my regular spices in it. Yum!

There doesn't seem to be anything exciting on the calendar, so I'll be looking forward to those moments when I get to sit down and knit!
I am hearing on my ipod...
Since I don't have any books left on there, I can start catching up on podcasts!
Around the house...
Loads and loads of laundry since the last few days were busy. Good thing there aren't 6 children at home anymore, or I'd be reaaaaalllly unhappy about that!
One of my favorite things...
Not.

| Tracts in the Halloween candy |
A few plans for the rest of the week...
I'm going to try to get a few blog posts out that have been fermenting.

Hopefully there was some candy attached to the tract.
ReplyDeleteDST is evil, evil evil!
ReplyDeleteAnd that tract? Oh my. I don't think that would convert anyone. It is cruel.
