late fall already

Mid-November and the days getting shorter. The end of year always surprises me. I am not ready for thanksgiving or xmas (though I did decide to spend it with the family). But time does not care whether I'm ready or not.

Christi will start working on the kitchen/laundryroom remodel in February. I'm excited and anxious. There will be a lot of costs to cover and decisions to make, and what if we have a huge earthquake? And so on. But the money won't matter once it's been spent. And with a little bit of Bach and sunsets like this recent one, I can usually calm myself.
