But the leaves haven't even turned!

gracedpalmerIt seems my hindbrain has decided it's autumn. I suspect this is because the available light has reached a level about equivalent to late March. I am in much better spirits than during that time of year, but it is having some side effects.
1. I want to sleep a lot. Naps have gone back to being an hour plus. This would be fine, except that I am also having nightmares during, and I need to start getting up earlier and earlier as the sunset comes earlier. I am not looking forward to the doom that is Daylight Saving Time.
2. Moods are a bit random. I've been low in the mornings and highly distractable, but not completely depressed. For instance, today I have reorganized my closet, done some quickie repairs on my bed (won't last, sadly - come spring I need to either build or buy a new one), rotated my mattress (which weighs more than some people) and put a coat of shellac on the worn spot in the floor. I'll need to continue doing stuff for most of tonight, because we're currently in the exciting torn-apart stage of the apartment.
3. While I think it's fall, the weather does not. This has resulting my being convinced I need socks and boots when it's 85 degrees.
In good news, shucking more stuff - eventually I may have few enough belongings to finally fit in this shoebox. Less good news - my kitchen still sucks. ^_^;
Tonight:
Clean under bed
Finally put last of window screens in
Clear the floor enough to move round in
Take AC, box fan, baby food jars to curb for scavengers?
Read sample text for next commission once too tired to clean.
Tomorrow:
Helpmoments_away get new glasses, since hers broke in half
Acquire groceries
Drive to Rockford to pick upsamadi and jmpierce, meet whymc for dinner after Adin & Christina's wedding weekend
Attempt to prevent fiery death in Labor Day traffic
Being self-employed and working at home means that most major holidays have become times when no one's online and you can't park outside your own building.
