I've come to the conclusion that my lack of writing was not because I have nothing to say. I thought about it for awhile, and it's nice being in the groove of mundane activities. For a month now I've been doing the same working a full and a part-time job, but I threw in an accounting course into the mix, which takes up a lot of my free time that I'm not using to socialise or catch up on missed TV shows. I'm missing reading and writing. All I really want to do is read a book. I can't find the time. It's strange that we use justificaions. I think I can't read because I should be doing accounting, but I justify being social, which trumps accounting that day. And then I spend my Sundays trying to catch up on what I should have done in the middle of the week so that I can read a book on Sunday perhaps.
And then there are those seasonal habits. The prairies had the worst summer I can remember. It was cold and rainy, and then it was September and it blew by so fast and now it's fall. Sadly, its windy and half the leaves have already fallen. Back to habits, people are changing whatever it is they were doing and it all comes back full circle. Like at Pacific, league has started again. I didn't realize I missed them until I saw them all again. I do have to say there are a few faces I haven't missed and a few that came back that I wish would have stayed gone to wherever it is they came from and stay there. I do know one thing, I'll be sick of them by Christmas and there won't be much of a break. These pool players are intense. And they play multiple nights and spend a lot of money and they do this every year. I don't have anything in my life as a hobby that's nearly this engrossing. Maybe that's why I like it so much. I partake in this yearly ritual, except I'm not playing, I'm watching and working.
Speaking of habits, it's October, which means it's Halloween this month. Over the next couple of weeks, I need to work on my pumpkin stencils. I think I'll have to make mine this year, since I haven't been able to find anything that I'm looking for. This will be the year I carve some good ones. Last year was a flop. And a bad one at that. I just didn't have the time to produce anything and since I made my first stencil last year and carved from it, it was a learning experience and that hindered me slightly. This year though, I won't be having any of it. I will take off time if be necessary. Maybe, just maybe I'll do a preview of the stencils when I get around to making them.
As usual, I have something else I need to do. Yay Autumn and October.
