It is 51 here and rainy. I'm snugged in inside. Slow morning, doing the wash, and will be making beef stew tonight. We haven't had it in a while.

It is 56 out and has been raining. Did housework this morning, more planned this afternoon along with paperwork. The beef stew we made last night was great.

It was in the 40's when I got up, in the mid-50's now and nice and sunny. Chester the cat is in the sun on the porch. Got housework done this morning, more this afternoon, plus some paperwork, and getting set up for the trick-or-treaters. Husband had an assignment this morning and is now draining our rain barrel since we are going to be in the 30's overnight. He also has to drain the hoses front and back and turn off the outside water in the front.

It was cold when I went out grocery shopping, in the high 30's. Coldest weather so far for me. I had to wear a jacket; a windbreaker wasn't enough. Got some gloves out for the first time. Hardly got any trick-or-treaters last night. Will give some of the leftover candy to a friend but I'll probably save some for me this year. If I have one piece a week, I can fit it in, or just have candy instead of nuts for a snack. Got most of the shopping done for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. At Christmas I'll have to get the turkey breast. Now I know where the frozen turkey breasts are in the store, I can pick one up early when we have room in our freezer. I buy early that way I don't have to worry about the stores running out of what I want. We are in the mid-40's now and having scattered showers.

It was 30 when I got up this morning, 49 now. Got out to get my RSV vaccine this morning. Waiting to see if I have any side effects. Slow day today, been doing some reading. Read an article in the Wall Street Journal about how as a counter to the beautiful, perfect, and monied "mom, housewife" influencers women of lesser means are getting popular as influencers. They have outdated kitchens messy homes, and wear sweatpants and old t-shirts. Women with ordinary lives relate to them. Cuts down on bad feelings when a person compares their life to someone's supposed perfect life.

It is 56 here and we have bright sunshine. Took Oscar the cat to the vet for his annual exam and shots. He has to have his teeth cleaned so that will be another upsetting trip. He gained weight this year. The vet said he has nodules on his thyroid gland. She was worried about it becoming overactive, but I wonder if it has become underactive and that is why he gained the weight. He's been overweight for a long time but kept steady for years so I think there must be a cause why he all of a sudden started to eat more. In the meantime, I need to cut back on how much I feed them.
