Autumn

There are a lot of things to like about fall time. There is the relief from summer heat, the return to your routine, football, the changing leaves, and so much more. I like all of that that, in fact I generally like fall. How can you not. It has a lot going for it.

Despite all that's good about fall there is one thing I really don't like about it. I seem to get sick every fall. It only last a day or two but it seems to happen every year.

I, just like everyone else, doesn't like to be sick. It really is a good way to ruin your day. Starting late yesterday, I just started to feel worse and worse. I managed to limp through the workday. I wasn't as productive as I would like to have been or really needed to be. I did get some work done but not being 100% means it will take more time to get everything done that I should. I find myself concentrating on my general discomfort instead of what I'm supposed to be doing and I have to keep fixing my own work.

I'm not sure why I seem to get an annual shot of illness as we transition to winter. I try to take care of myself, after all, I'm not 20 anymore. But almost without fail, I have a day or two where I feel like garbage.

I like autumn. It has a lot to offer but it also seems to offer a couple of off days. I guess I will just have to power through it and get back to the good stuff.

Crisp Fall

I like 3 seasons. I like summer because its summer and it offers so much. I like spring because we climb out of a cold dark winter. I have to say that a winter in Ottawa is a piece of cake compared to a winter in Winnipeg but that's for another time. I like fall because it can be so livable.


I have the day off today so I went to the gym this morning. The walk down and the walk back were great. . It was bright out, it was comfortable to have a jacket on but undone. It was generally nice to be out and about.


There is one small thing I don't really like about fall. It means that winter is coming. There are some good things about winter. Christmas is during winter. Winter makes spring seem that much nicer.


Fall also brings a return to routine for a lot of people. The school year starts up again. For university and college students this means they get to reunite with some of their friends they have not seen sine the spring. It may mean you are off to a new adventure. There are so many things that fall can bring.


I like fall and this one looks like it will be a really nice one.
