2018-10-16  Just a Few Things...

Today is our first really cold fall day. It won't get much above 10
degrees Celsius this afternoon and it's pretty windy. I have actually
set up and turned on my space heater. My home office is above the
garage and is always a bit colder than the rest of the house in spite
of the fact that we renovated and and completely reinsulated the walls
and floor. Also, I think my body needs to get used to the cooler
temperatures, which are a bit of a shock considering it was well above
20 degrees Celsius just last week.

I have to admit I'm a bit bored today. The items I'm working on are
routine and not very mentally stimulating. I guess I'm sort of looking
forward to the weekend. Last weekend was completely packed with
activities and I didn't get much down time. Next weekend might be a
bit better. We don't have anything planned per se but we're now
planning on taking my Dad back home. He still isn't supposed to drive
until the middle of next week but he really wants to go home. He also
has a friend looking after his dog. I guess my Dad is a little worried
about his pet and taking advantage of his friend too. It will be nice
to have our place back. As I've mentioned previously, my father can be
difficult to live with. That being said, his attitude and outlook have
improved as we get closer to the day we're taking him home. I don't
relish spending 4+ hours in his truck with him but there isn't much I
can do.

I think I will go out for a walk for a bit. The work can wait and I
need the light and some exercise. Perhaps I'll write something else
when I get back. Shocking!
