OCTOBER HAPPENINGS

                           


                        OH it's fall and it came in a hurry.. I think winter is right on it's tail, The leaves were green and no where NEAR falling and then wham! Three nights of cold temps and away we go. Colors are beautiful this year a lot brighter than last years brown all over. We had a mild September. Friends in Florida survived the hurricane and were lucky as others did not. Spent many days and nights sending prayers to those who were suffering there. IAN will not be forgotten for years to come. 

So October started for me with a wet carpet in my closet. The faucet leaking in the shower the cause. It was leaking inside and I didn't notice it until it was out of control. YUCK the smell was terrible. The flooded carpet back in 2013 was dried and not cleaned so it made a mess of things. The task taking EVERYTHING off the floor in there was way harder than when I put it in 9 years ago. Found that I had more than what I needed so the task was to go through things and toss lots out. INDEED, I did just that. Ran out of places to put things in the rest of my small apartment.  After a day or two went by the carpet was cleaned but not what they call DEEP restoration so the company came back and did it over sucking all the water out. I still waited to make sure it was dry in there and started hauling it back. Boy was I glad it was NOT summertime. That heat would have been bad. So that all done I still have a lot to do as I am doing it slowly. Just cannot do what I used to. VERY grateful I did not have to pay for ANYTHING. Oh the joys of apt life. Good out weights the bad for sure.

The young man that moved above me is autistic and speaks to hardly anyone and goes about his days AND NIGHTS.. Oh my when he is not working his schedule he is up to all hours of the night. Goodness. He is quiet mostly and I am grateful for my ear plugs. I managed to get my flu shot and my Covid booster.  The nurse told me that soon they will not be asking to write down on a card when you get your shot. Well just like a flu shot the place you get it has it on file.. it's up to you I guess. 

Halloween is here and the month went fast. We barely had a fall here and our heat  in the building has been on for two weeks already. Time sure flies by. 

I am staying healthy and so glad about that. I managed to get my eyes tested this year and get new glasses my glaucoma is stable. Very happy about that. 

WELL that's all for OCTOBER.. Take care...
