Fall Break

This morning is my last class of the week.

The weather has changed, a cold front has blown through and the highs are in the 60’s.

Sweatshirts! Boots! (I know. I know NYC girls are rolling eyes. Sorry…but kind of not sorry!)

A light freeze is coming mid week. I went out to the garden that I had pretty much abandoned during the 115 degree summer, and I’ll be damned if it’s not flourishing. There’s tomato blooms out there that, if I cover it with a sheet at night, just might explode into tomatos for a final harvest! So that’s something.

I’m making a B in my Young Adult Fiction class. I have the midterm, a project and a grad paper along with 8 more weeks of daily grades, to bring it up to an A.

I’m making this for supper tonight. Sweet Potato Chili. So good. I can’t wait. Jalapeno cornbread to go with it.

As I was looking at the recipe…I started perusing the entire blog. The author has had her own struggle with weight.

Mine is at a place right now…my body is out of control. I can feel it. I can’t wait until my doctor’s appointment in a few weeks. There’s something else going on here that is more than emotional eating. . . but that’s the majority of it and the emotions and hormones and crazy voices. . . there’s got to be an endgame.  These posts resonated with me, go read. 

Ok, I’ve got a list of things today after class and time at the library.

Peaceout, ya’ll.

    1. I guess just because it gets colder there earlier, and it wasn’t 115 degrees with your a/c blasting from the end of May until the end of August. My bad!

  1. One thing I do like about the weather getting cooler (cold) is that it’s perfect for all those soups that I just didn’t want because of the summer heat.

    1. I’m excited for the soups/chili/stews, too. My next thing I want to try is a butternut squash soup. I had a bowl at West a few weeks ago that was just stupid good.
