Fall is my FAVORITE time of year.... it means it's time for boots, scarves, sweaters, crochet projects, chai, pumpkin, cool crisp weather... and equally because there is no threat of swim suits, shorts or shaving legs regularly, and NO 100+ degree weather! Now I know that many people love summer time, especially my mother-in-law. But for this pale skinned girl who has a fear of swimsuits, sunburns and heatstroke, fall can't come soon enough! While there are thousands of things I love about fall [millions if you insist on counting each falling leaf] there are some things that I could do without. First of all, fall is synonymous with 'back to school'. And for anyone who works with children or is a teacher, you know that 'back to school' is synonymous with GERMS. Let's face it. Kids are basically large, walking, talking rats... they're cute and fun to watch and play with, but they are carriers for everything! Unless a teacher has been teaching for more years than they have fingers and toes, they likely get some sort of cold, sore throat or flu come fall.
I was no exception this past week. Thankfully, I managed to make it through work each day and I happen to I have a fabulous hubby who brought me dinner in bed, made special trips to the store when I ran out of my Chloraseptic Spray or Halls Defense throat drops, and gave me massages when I was stiff and sore. He was even willing to give me a kiss once in a while, too!
Fortunately, I am slowly getting over my bugs and will be able to enjoy my beloved and long awaited fall weather :) I might even crochet a scarf for a friend or two.... if I don't get distracted before I finish. But that's another topic entirely!
Happy fall, one and all!
