today marks the first day of my favorite month of the year

Oct 1, 2021

I LOVE October in southern Indiana. It’s one of my favorite months — a close tie with June. I love the cooler evenings and long for the days I lived in a rural setting where my bedroom window could remain open without worrying that neighbors might see me in bed by the light of the TV. Still debating on how to move forward since I also like the conveniences of living in a city… like grocery delivery. 🙂

Looks like rain is in the forecast for the next three days or so. That’s standard since it’s Seymour’s Oktoberfest weekend. Seems like it always rains, but it is warmer tonight than festivals in the past. I can remember wearing a sweatshirt and jeans and today, shorts and a tank would’ve been appropriate.

Jackson County, IN is still in the orange according to ISDH insofar as COVID. Looking at photos of the Oktoberfest on Facebook, I wonder what that number will look like in 5 days or so. In the meantime, statistics show my county has 15.30% of the population infected and 14.50% statewide. Better than Florida at 17.39% infected and Nevada that’s 15.31%. My favorite brother got the Pfizer vaccination and got a booster just today. He also got the flu shot and his only complaint is that his arm is sore.

And finally, the ColorStreet nails I only purchased because my buddy, Alisa, was co-hosting an online party are pretty darned awesome. One week today since I put those suckers on and there’s not even one chip. That’s after dishes (rarely use my dishwasher), showers, typing 100 mph, 12 hrs/day, and more.

nails still good

My nails are much shorter now than when I spent one-hour every two-weeks to get them ground on with a Dremel and new resin applied. I’m good with that… no pain and no nail damage. I even ordered a pack of Color Street for my sweet Momma! 🙂
