The News: Monday, October 8 Edition

I cannot tell you how happy I am that it is Monday! I know, I know…everyone is supposed to hate Mondays. And many of you (probably the majority) are of that mindset. But in my world, Monday is the only day I have off more often than not. And this week I have taken some time for myself, to catch up on home projects and get ready for that nasty cold season that’s just around the corner. Today will be all about putting up a few more storm windows, and laundry, and cleaning. And then later I get to spend some time with one of the few people I am fairly certain I could not live without. Hopefully your week is starting off quite well, also!

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
