I love waking up on my island, the fog slugging about. It feels like mystery and smells like the ocean would, if it wasn’t full of so many things living and dead.
It makes me feel like I’m on the edge of an adventure; that I could walk through the wardrobe, or run straight into Dr. Who.
Today is a foggy day. And the first day I am allowed to put up my Halloween decorations. It is the first of the month and I will pay all my bills. I am very satisfied to have everything all paid up. Everything in its place.
Yesterday I started coaching my Robotics Team again. The core of great kids from last year’s team are back and I think this year we will put both a 7th and 8th grade team into competition. Why not field two teams? It isn’t as though I’m busy or anything.
Tonight is the first Pushing Daises of the season. I will enjoy it with pie and new friends. I will play with their baby and dog.
The fog means fall is creeping in, and with it the best holidays, warm sweaters, winter food. All year I long for hot cocoa, stews, soups, and casseroles.
And I am happy.

Sounds like your M.L.T. vacation is working.
It has. I guess the thing most pressuring me was... me.
It is nice to let myself be home and relax.
Last night I watched TV and made delicious food using veg from my garden and read a book.
That was pretty much perfect.
