Thanksgiving and the weekend were nice. We had Thanksgiving at D.'s house. We went to visit Pop, then went shopping. On Saturday we did some cleaning and Sunday we helped fix the garage door at Mom and Dad's. I went to see Dr. S. It was an interesting appointment. He turned an entire incident around so I could see it from the other side's point of view. He also said that my motivation is probably just lagging from boredom and did not change any of my medication. DS. has a cold and was miserable yesterday with it. He took a good long nap which cured some of it. Then we forgot the no games rule and he played for three hours. OOPS! I have to write to his teachers and see how he is doing. I will probably write today. I am almost afraid to see how things are going after an ok report card. More later.

I should have stayed home today. I am so drowsy, it's not funny. DS has a showcase tonight and I want to be awake for that. He has an assignment that is due tomorrow that he hasn't finished yet. I am really angry with him for being in this situation because I encouraged him earlier this week to get ahead on it, which of course he didn't do.
I have been reading great things about a book called Flotsam, by David Wiesner. I am betting that it is this year's Caldecott winner. Probably not a difficult choice to make, since everybody who has reviewed it has given it rave reviews.
I have to be careful about working out when listening to a book. Tuesday, I was listening to Maximum Ride and the main characters were being chased. At the same time I was working on a machine for my arms and apparently got caught up in the moment and didn't pay attention to the fact that the weight was far more than I usually work out. I can really feel it on my arms today.
It's raining again today (fourth day in a row with cloudy skies.) Maybe we will get some sunshine to finish putting the shed together and fix the garage door. The garage itself needs cleaning but I think that will have to wait for another weekend. bye now.

I read an incredible book on Friday. It was called The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It was not the most well written book I have ever read and it was written for a younger audience, but it will haunt you for days after reading it. BH has a cold and is really tired. He has been doing to many weekend things and needs to take a break. I'm pretty tired too. I will be asking Dr. S. about my meds because I think they may be too much for me. I feel like a slug all the time and don't really want to do anything, even read. I'll be seeing him this week and can ask about it. DS has new medication to take and see if it works better.
Bedtime.

Mostly different guys except one. We had a great time, but a long drive home!

Here are the guys.

This past week went by pretty quickly. DS was all caught up with work. I am going to speak to Dr. S about my lack of motivation. I am not even up to reading or knitting which is unusual. I don't feel too depressed so I am wondering if it is one of my meds. I'll have to wait until next week to find out.
We really are into fall because it has been in the twenties during the overnight and only up to the forties during the day. Nice crisp days as long as your dressed right. We finished the leaves and BH mowed so all we have left is to clean the shed and get it ready for winter (and fix the garage door, which currently is only available manually.)
Back to work.
