I was listening to a podcast the other day about back to school and checking off things on to do lists, and the host suggesting finding things to do that were fun as well, because that wasn’t fun, and I thought, what, checking things off IS fun! I guess I’m weird like that.

I was listening to another podcast (I listen to a lot of podcasts! especially while walking, exercising, and driving places) where somebody said they really enjoy paying bills makes them feel responsible and they enjoy that and I thought me too! I love when I do my bank stuff, it’s very enjoyable to do my accounting and add money to my accounts and move money around and figure out how much I have where and then put it where it needs to go and stuff like that. It’s quite fun!

Is that weird? I often enjoy these weird adulting things. Other adulting things I dislike, especially things involving phone calls.

But anyway. It’s the first week “back to school”. So far I’ve taught 17 lessons and I have an unknown number left to teach. Unknown partly because I’m not going to count and partly because there are a few variables such as: still scheduling students at the college. Still waiting to figure out the last couple of students. It’s been a busy week, but nothing too insane because it’s just teaching right now…this weekend I only have two little concerts in the evening, and then Monday is Labor Day which is off. After that, things really get heated up, and then the semester is in FULL SWING.

Weather wise, things are amazing right now. We are deep into false fall and it is terrific. I’ve been taking walks practically every day and it is just glorious. If we had weather like this all the time people from the coasts would be climbing over themselves to move here rather than pretending we didn’t exist (and after experiencing their interstate traffic, no thank you, please stay where you are, coastal people). But it is terrific while it lasts, and I am appreciative. I hope it lasts through the next weekend. Louie and I took advantage over the weekend and had a lovely bike ride on the Katy Trail and got pizza afterwards at the Good News Brewing Company.

We are hoping to get another bike ride in this weekend. We did a ton of biking on our recent trip so we are trying to keep up the biking. It’s hard to get out too much during the week but right now the weekend’s are doable, and with this false fall weather (it’s sort of a joke, but not really, we know fall isn’t really here yet) and gig season not being in full swing yet, we have to take advantage while we can.

Have a good rest of the week, readers!
