Darker and Darker

Is it just me, or does this autumn seem particularly dark this year? Considering it's November the weather hasn't been all that bad. Just a few days of rain, but mostly sun or overcast, and fairly average temperatures. Maybe my body thinks it's Spring and is expecting the days to get longer, not shorter.

Maybe I get in such a funk at this time of year with the weather, that I never pay much attention to the shortening days. But since the weather has been okay, I'm noticing the darkness that much more.

Now I am just sitting and waiting for the crazy windstorm headed our way today. Apparently the gusts are supposed to hit 90 km/hour. I am just noticing now the trees are starting to sway a little...

On an entirely different note, I can't believe it's already Friday, and that the day is half done. This week has been a little strange since last weekend was so stressful, and Colin has been away all week, working on the Island. And he may not be back for Saturday night. Hopefully he will be, but I have Lisa and Andrew to keep me company tomorrow evening. I think Lisa needs to win the super duper friend of the week award. I plan to go shopping tonight - see if I can get some more Christmas shopping done, and maybe do some for myself - I am bucking the economic trend...

My de-cluttering and re-org is nearing the end and I will be damn glad when it's done. Then the next steps are putting things away and clearing out the closets and putting more things into storage. My goal is to have this done by the end of November, since December is always busy, and the calendar is starting to fill up!
