Hey, guys. My dad left this morning for home so I'm feeling kind of blue. Not sure if I'll accomplish much but that's okay for today. I was going to (for real) start CLX and running but now I'm considering the CLX/TurboFire hybrid rotation with running. I'm not happy at all with my abs and I was remembering how much kickboxing does for them. I need to decide so I can start today.

Sending you some hugs I hope you find something to help cheer you up.

Thank you, Sherry! I am thinking I will finish up my indoor Halloween decorations (what I can find room for!) and watch a favorite Halloween movie.

Popping in with the latest. The huge wildfire is about eight miles from our home. We received the "Get Ready to Evacuate" Warning on Saturday. We're hoping to not receive the "Get Out NOW" one. We are as ready as possible and will evacuate (unlike some freaking idiots) immediately.

How awful and scary. Thank you for being the folks who follow evacuation orders.

My self-care has been minimal tv watching. I have been in a horrible mood since Friday. I had to stop. I wasn't a good person to be around. Getting outdoors and walking has helped. Less tv has helped a lot.

Alta, that is so scary! Thank you for updating.

My self care has involved retail therapy, which isn't ideal....oh, well! I pre-ordered Jodi Picoult's newest book so it would arrive today . I will dive into it later. I picked up coconut shea butter hand cream at the grocery store this morning. I love the smell of coconut. I was also delighted to find a Peanuts/Snoopy soup bowl from Hallmark in the grocery store. It was adorable and it will make me smile every time I use it, so I bought it. It wasn't cheap, but oh, well....it brings me happiness .

I will do yoga and meditation, and take my vitamins later.

I am very sorry to hear this. Please take care and stay safe. I have two brothers in the fire area range and one received the "Get ready Warning" and they were ready to go if needed. His area is better now but the other brother is in the desert range and he is now at risk. I feel awful for the residences in these fire areas.

That must be terrifying. I hope you stay safe, and can stay in your home.

Sherry, you would appreciate my newest Halloween decoration. For the last year of her life my mom enjoyed painting suncatchers and did a lot of them. I have made two garlands of them and the one I did today was Peanuts.

I hope everyone can stay safe.

Today I took off a few hours early from work. Less TV news and the newspaper has helped a whole lot. I stay informed but I don't watch it longer than 30 minutes.

My Halloween decorations come out on October 1.

My friend and I got in a shorter walk due to rain.
