The first day of fall

It is very hot. Hot Hot Hot. It may reach 81 from a low of 54. I am so spoiled.
October and September are the best months in CA along with April and May. So lucky to live here.

I guess I should have prepared a bit more.

I took a pumpkin to school. I put it on the table in the lobby. I thought it might get ripped off. It lasted till lunch. I'm ticked. I went to add a black cat and it was gone.
I called the secretary to moan and she said she's make an announcement.

Why try to do something nice for these kids? Most of them appreciate it. I realize some of them want pumpkins and can't afford one and I was going to make it a prize in a contest anyway but gee whiz! The usual the bad apples ruin the bunch.

I finally got out to lunch today and went to the public library. I've had no lunch time since school started and I really appreciated not being on call.
I got my book and tapes returned and they were 6.75 in fines. I'm going to take it out of library fines. If I ever got an email notice I would have taken the time to renew these things until I could get over there. I don't remember receiving one.

I thought about swimming today and almost put my suit in the car. To get up at 6 just didn't happen. Even though I got up at 7 rested that was enough. I read until midnight and napped a lot yesterday.

Yesterday was beach clean up day. A teacher I work with picked up 70 lbs. by herself mostly dog poop. Then she went home and came back an hour later and there was more. Pick up your dog's poop. I don't like changing litter boxes but I do and scoop the poop for Lacey.
