Chota Mota on Tuesday

Autumn is in the air today, and we are thinking that perhaps we can put those 80 degree temperatures behind us.  My DS, who hates the heat, is powerful cheerful this morning -- his mood and energy level rises in direct proportion to how cool it is!  Fall is my favorite time of year, particularly after living in Pakistan so long, where there were basically two seasons, hot and less hot -- and the trees never stopped being green.

Anyway, here's what's happening in my neck of the woods:

• my itching is improving, in that the rash seems to be gone and there are only a few places on my arms and legs that remain red and troublesome.  The irritating thing is they are the spots that have the most nerve endings in them, so I am still having to sit on my hands, so to speak, to not scratch.  But I think I've turned the corner!
• I haven't gotten hardly anything done that I wanted to do this week, due to this miserable itching.  We'll see how today holds up as a day to get something accomplished.
• since my DS and I joined Weight Watcher's, it's been nothing but points this and points that, and doing math to see if we can squeeze in just one more morsel of something.  :-D  But that's good, we are certainly becoming more aware of how much we put in our mouths without thinking.  Hopefully it will become more routine after awhile.  We have our first weigh in on Thursday morning, so I'll let you all know how we did.
• The lease on our apartment is up at the end of October, and we are considering moving, rather than staying on another year.  Although it's a  nice apartment, we really don't have enough room -- we get on each other's nerves far too often, for one thing.  We realize now we should have gotten a larger place in the first place, so we are looking into what's available to see if we want to move in the next two months, or wait and move later.  Moving is a big hassle!  Our landlady will let us have a 5 month lease if we want, bless her -- but if we want a place with more room, why not go ahead and just go get one and move into it now, moving hassle or no?  We have to make a firm decision by Friday.
• Today's plan includes necessary stuff like laundry and grocery shopping, writing reports and a newsletter, and fun stuff like going for a walk in the coolness, and getting back into some long overdue writing.
• I think my DH and I need another "no computer" day tomorrow, so if you don't see me, that's why!

Guess that will do for now, if I go on longer, it won't be Chota Mota, it will be Bara Mota (Big Fat)!!
