Looks fun, GD. I went mountainbiking. Then, I shopped for food, and a BD gift for my husband. Setup a scavenger hunt for his gifts (super easy...he won't have to hunt far), cleaned the house a bit, and now I am heading to a party.

Thank you. Lately, I am working hard at being grateful for everything. When the cold dry mornings are here, the path is like covered in glitter. It is really beautiful. Also, the air is cleaner. After fire season, we truly appreciate clean air.

We don't get a paper. We check the ads on their website. Although, we have 3 stores to choose from.

Yes, but fall provides new opportunities. Winter is tough, but it brings new beginnings and a fresh slate.

No weekly ads? That seems strange.

Do some thoughtful grocery shopping, after you plan food for the week and make a list. I am certain that your local grocery has weekly ads. Read those, before you plan and shop. Teach Olivia to make something. That can be fun. If you have flour, food dye, and salt, you can make clay.

Collect leaves with Olivia and do some abstract art.

Do some sketching? Don't say you can't draw. If I can, anyone can. Lots of tutorials on the web.

Library?

Central park walk?

The high line?

I have to make some. There is an ominous appointment coming soon. I can only drink clear liquids and have things like jello. I plan to make some homemade broth for the occasion.

Agreed. I have not been deferring fun. We took vacations this summer to bike parks and really nice lodging. What we have been deferring is buying stuff, beyond what we really need.

Very much yes.
