05/31 Today my life is perfect

[darkemeralds]

First of all it's October, and truly October-ish outside--cool, sunny, smells like apples and leaves? You know.

Second of all, I had to work today. You'd think this would be a bad thing, but I don't actually mind working on Saturday once in a while*. I get a lot done. I got a lot done. I like the quiet.

Third of all, two bike rides in the perfect. One of them took me past the goats again.

Fourth of all, a hot order of fish and chips from the Irish pub on the corner, and Volume Two of S.U. Pacat (aka freece)'s Captive Prince (which, dear god, where-have-you-been-all-my-life, is fantastic) just queued up all fresh.

So really, my life is perfect.

*And also? There are only thirteen Saturdays left in the whole world where this job will be an issue.

It is October, which begs the question of why it is STILL almost 80 degrees in my office?

October isn't quite my favorite month of the year, though certainly the weather here in SF has been nice. It is still hot in Ukiah, the ground is hard as a rock, and the grass still has stickers, none of which are applicable to you! I can't wait till it starts raining. Then I can dig more post holes!
I love December, Feburary and March. All cool, green months usually with enough sun to make life lovely.

I'm with you on December--it's often lovely here almost the whole month. February and March, though? So very gray and endless up here. I can see why the mild rains of early spring would be welcome where you are though.Here, that's about the time we all start dreaming of Hawaii and Palm Springs.

I can remember a Jan that had one day without rain. In Feb , usually, the temps start up and by the end of Feb the grass is growing. Meanwhile the raindrops hang like jewels on the trees, and there are good breaks in the weather to work!

"Good breaks in the weather" would be the key!
