Fall Back

Good Evening Readers,

Tomorrow is probably one of my least favorite days of the year.  Why?  Because we turn the clocks back.  I know, I know it means an extra hour of sleep but more so to me it means less daylight.  Alas, there is nothing I can do about it so I best just get over it.  It should at least be lighter here a later into the evening than back in the home state.  I will take all the daylight I can get.

Yesterday at work we started the transition from our Fall beverages into our holiday selections.  It was rainy and cool here today so there were plenty of people willing to drop into the store and try out the new beverages.  (That's my roundabout way of saying it was BUSY!)  The more time I spend at work with my colleagues, the more I like them.  They are snarky and sweet, sassy and caring.  They give hugs willingly and most important they make me laugh. And I hardly ever have to throw around my matriarch title to keep them in line.  As I've said before, it's not where I saw myself working however I'm starting to find my niche there.

This evening after Jak and I went for a walk I ran to the grocery store to pick up a few things.  I was chatting with cashier about the cool weather - it was below 70 so I had on long pants and a hoodie - so I told him I moved here a few months ago from the north but you wouldn't know it by the way I bundle up.  He said that the cold is different here.  I agreed with him.  He then said the cold here "hurts."  Amen kid.  I'm picking up what you're putting down.

My beloved New England Revolution played their first of two playoffs games tonight.  The early rounds of MLS playoffs are decided in a home and away on aggregate format.  If that sounds confusing (it took me a while to figure it out when I first became a fan) it means they play two games so each team has a home game, the team that advances is based on the total of points scored in both games.  With the Red Sox fresh of their World Series Championship, let's hope a little of that luck spills over on a fellow New England team.  The Revvies will head to Kansas City on Wednesday night with a 2-1 lead going into the second game.

Tomorrow is a work day for me so I best set my clocks back and get to bed.  Remember to change your clocks, though showing up an hour early is better than an hour late.

Until next time...
Peace, Love and Give Me Back My Daylight,
Hope
