I am just getting basics done around here. September ended up busier in real life than it looked September 1st in my planner. Although the calendar says we are in autumn, the weather tells a different story. It's been wet, gloomy, humid and in the 70's for over a week now.

• Exercise
• Prayer
• Calendar Review of Appointments/Meetings
• Reading
• Writing

Weekly:

• Menu Planning for next week
• Dust/Vacuum/Mop
• Bills
• Laundry
• Groceries
• End of Last Week Reflection
• Answer Biographical Questions
• Set Research/Writing Goals

I find it hard when my mind says one thing and the weather says another.
How can we be Spring cleaning when it is still freezing outside or alternately how can we be preparing for Winter when it is still so hot?
It would be great if the weather gets on board.
I hope that October is a great month for you.

My favourite time of the year. I love a good Autumn and everything that goes with it. I hope that the weather starts cooperating soon.
