The October Country

Today..

Happier and more content than I've been in a couple of months. It's cold and rainy out, and warm and cozy inside, and the house is quiet. It's been a very productive and interesting 72 hours. Autumn is my favorite season. October is my favorite month.

My first day off work was Thursday. I was very productive, taking care of literally dozens of minor home repairs and chores we'd been putting off, in some cases for years. And cleaning! Thursday night ruiskafleck and wggthegnoll were over to make characters for a new Warhammer FRP game I'm running one weeknight a week for them and velvetpage.

Yesterday was my first solo day as a housedad, responsible for making lunches and getting the girls to and from places. kores_rabbit came over early in the day and stayed the evening for fondue and movies. velvetpage can melt my cheese any day. :)

kores_rabbit also joined us today for our jaunt to a Haunted Farm, one of best ways to spend a blustery fall day. We left just as storm rolled in, with powerful winds bending the cornstalks and heavy rain starting to fall.

We all scurried down the Mountain as the rain poured down and lightning flashed, and finished the afternoon with supper at Swiss Chalet.

Tomorrow is the first session of my Star Wars game. Yay!
