It's a gloomy, grey day today. My spoiled, used-to-lots-of-sunshine self will struggle, but it's doable.
Mondays are typically my reset days - days to schedule floats and makeup tutoring appointments - of which I have neither today. I do have PEO later this evening to prepare for, so I'll need some alertness.
One of my current tutees is a precocious high schooler racking up college credits so to be well on her way to a bachelor's degree before she even graduates high school.
She asked the typical, "What is this for?" regarding her math homework last week. I think I explained its usefulness, but acknowledged that it was a good question regarding today's technology.
"I always like to know why I'm doing something", her reply.
On that note, and with the gloomy outside, I figured I would do a closet purge. Stashing summer things since it's October, and I don't think we'll return to temps in the 90's anytime soon. I plan to toss a few items to the "donate" or "rag" or "trash" pile while asking myself why I'm keeping some things around.
I was inspired by seeing a 9-item capsule wardrobe on Pinterest: 3 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 layers (coats, sweaters), 1 pair of shoes. And I'm thinking, sounds more like a packing list for a 4- or 5-day trip, not an entire wardrobe. I'm not at that level of minimalism.
In addition to Halloween scaries showing up around the neighborhood, I've noticed a few watchers while I'm out wandering about.
This little guy thought he was being stealth, which he kind of was.
This cat, however, does not have the best camouflage.
I think he wanted to make sure I saw the sign.
