In the ever changing world of work...
Owen said they laid off the 2nd shift at the warehouse and he'll be working a split shift starting next week. We lose 7 people in my department this week.
At least we are still employed.

Beautiful weekend here in Wisconsin...The sun is shining and the leaves are crunchy.
Keith came home yesterday. We stopped at a park on the way home from the airport and took some photos.
He'll be here until the 24th and then he's off to Germany.

We went and saw The Rhythm Devils last night in Milwaukee at The Riverside Theater.

I had a wonderful time. It was a nice break from the work scene.
I was thinking last night at the show that I wish I was able to leave work at work and not have it affect my state of mind while at home.
Today went well but it may be an affect of the Post-Show-Glow...

It seems that during the work week I don't start feeling better until it's time to go to bed.
It makes me worry that I'm looking forward to sleep and not doing what I enjoy with my evening hours.

Keith is trying to come home tomorrow from Texas. It appears he will have 3 weeks before he goes to Germany.
I was talking to him earlier trying to find a cheap flight tomorrow (haha) best we could do is $470.

Uptight...
Home from work after a very stressful day.
Trying to relax with a wheat ale and Grateful Dead 11-11-73
I find that their music takes me elsewhere.

Picture Window

There's two windows like this on the front of our place. People walking past on the sidewalk can look into our place...
I brought home some scrap wood from work and bought some black felt and gave us a way to send messages to the outside world and maintain our privacy.
Margaret likes to do picture collages with her window.
I'm planning on doing some dyes to cover the top part because in the winter we hang comforters we bought at Goodwill to try and keep the cold out (single pane glass...) and the back of a comforter isn't fun to look at.

Well it looks as though winter is here...
There's some snow and freezing rain headed our way. Nothing serious but I know it's the start of things to come.

I've been pretty uptight over work lately...
It's getting harder to get the tension out of my neck and shoulders.

The fall has been nice. I hope it holds out for a bit before the real cold sets in.
