I'm finally doing laundry after coming back from vacation. It's such a production since I have to haul it over to the laundromat. It's in the apartment complex but it's still a bother. It would be nice to have a washer/dryer in my apartment. I just have no room for one and no hookups. I get envious when I stay with my son and can just throw a load in while I watch television.

It's dark when I go to work and getting dark when I get off. I'm wondering if that is why I am so tired right now. I do feel better when I get plenty of sun. Even in LA last week there wasn't much sun. It was cloudy and hazy most of the time. Maybe I need to sit outside at noon and get more sunshine. I've always been more tired and depressed in the winter.

It's cool enough at night that I can leave the window open with a fan. It's nice to get some fresh air but 90 degrees in November during the day is just not right. I want some winter, or at least a nice crisp fall. I want to wear a sweater and I'd like to wear my boots at least once or twice each year. I often wish I lived somewhere where I could wear thick cuddly sweaters and warm sheepskin boots and snuggle up in a thick down coat and feel the cold air on my cheeks and feel alive. Then you get cold and go inside, but there's nothing like walking for a little while in the cold while warmly dressed.
