Midweek chill

It's actually not too chilly here, but it's cool enough to warrant wearing my indoor shoes and for the kitties to snuggle up on the just-cleaned duvet cover that I just took out of the dryer. There was a storm front that blew through the city early this morning, but it was either weak or our new windows are much improved on the ones at our old place, because I did not hear it at all. [They are indeed an improvement, as the old bedroom windows were rattly, slightly warped, and any time there was a heavy wind the skylights would make a lot of noise.] This is the time of year when SF hovers between weirdly warm and sunny weather, and the gloom of a cold and wet winter. 

Speaking of winter, it's now officially Q4 and I'm starting to see Christmas stuff sprinkled around the store at the Day Job. Not a huge amount as yet, and they haven't changed the music playlists, but it's only a matter of time. As I've said before, I don't mind working the holiday season as it's fun to talk with all our regular clientele and wish them well. It's actually the lack of additional coworkers that's always dampened the spirits. I've been told we have new hires coming in soon, so hopefully that'll help.

Other than that, it's been kind of a busy-yet-not-stressful week so far, so I'm going to take that as a win. Especially considering the recent news about Mayor-Elect Mamdani and several other Dems winning seats last night!
