Tuesday – Election Day dinner concert at my son’s school. His music class is singing some crap and he’s way too excited about it. We have to be there. Evening full of election results rolling in, which is unavoidable, even if a little uninteresting.

Wednesday – Equipment return for football. Sigh. Only 265 days until next season begins.

Thursday – The annual parent/teacher conference. Only for my son this year. Once the kids hit a certain age (7th grade, apparently) a conference is requested only if there’s a reason for it.

Friday – No school.

Saturday – Yardwork. Need to get leaves picked up, stuff put away. Shut the shit down, so to speak. Kinda sucks because we still have 20-30% of the leaves on our trees. Seems like they’re reluctant to drop this year.

Sunday – Probably finishing the leaves. Podcast night.

Monday – Monday Night Football. Think we worked out some easy, free parking just across the river. Looks like it won’t be too cold. Should be fun.

Seems like we’re finally past the busy fall that seems to hit us every year. Now we roll into the holiday season, pop out the other side in the dead of winter and before I know it my allergies are a mess in March. Hoping to get back on track with the eating/weight thing too. I know I slipped a bit…a good bit, actually and want to get it right sooner than later. Be nice to hit spring at a nice low goal weight.

We’ll see.
