Guess what finally came to Alabama? Fall!!!! It has actually been cool! Last night the low temperature was supposed to be 29. So that’s more winter than fall, but I’ve learned that there really is no fall here. It goes from freaking hot, to warm, to cold. There’s none of that in between happiness. Last night my boy and I went on a hunt for my sweaters that were packed away. We found them, so I got to wear one today. It made me happy. He thinks I’m sick.

I just love fall, ok?

I had more paper despair today, until I got to class, was struck with inspiration, chatted with my professor and learned that I pretty much couldn’t do the original paper I wanted to write – mostly based on time restraints. Seemed I picked a pretty research intensive subject, and while it can (and should) be done, there’s just not enough time in the semester to do it. So I changed my topic around a little bit, and am happier. And motivated again. That’s key. Time to do more writing.

There’s 2 1/2 weeks until paper #1 is due. 3 weeks until paper 2 is due. 4 weeks until paper 4 is due. I feel behind.

Argh.

I was getting ready to leave this morning and I discovered that my cat Allie has found a new place to sleep.

I haven’t put my sweaters away yet (I just brought them up last night, jeez!), and apparently she thinks this is a good place to sleep. Either I’m keeping the house too cold, or she likes clothes.

It looks like she tried to eat one. I like the piece of sweater on her whiskers.
