It’s still “mittens in the morning and leis at lunch” weather here, but this far into October it’s hard to complain about sunshine and highs in the upper 70s! Several windows are open, and the only downside is the work being done on the new construction catty-corner to my house: the yard and street are both all torn up, I assume for some kind of utility work. It’s kinda noisy, but it could be much worse. And Bailey is hugely entertained by all of the activity. 
I just took this from my home office window:
Speaking of homes and work: 5pm Friday came and went without a peep from my property manager or his brother, so this morning I requested a storm door measuring appointment from Home Depot. No particular reason why I chose them over Lowe’s – the costs and products seemed comparable – I just had to make a decision. Someone will call me this week to schedule the measuring. Here we (finally) go! 
Today’s lunch was from Subway, courtesy of DoorDash. I’ve been seeing ads for Subway’s new “sidekick” items: cheese, chicken & cheese, and pepperoni & cheese dippers (aka wraps), and footlong Cinnabon churros, Auntie Anne’s pretzels, and cookies. I never go to Subway anymore because their sandwiches are too much bread for me (and I’m not a fan of “breadless sandwich”/bowl-type meals), so the wraps sounded interesting – plus, Subway has always had some of my favorite cookies. When it was lunchtime and I wasn’t inspired by any of the food already in the house, I remembered about the sidekicks and decided to give them a go. I miiiight have gone a bit overboard: I got all three wraps and a footlong pretzel and some baked Lay’s – in addition to several cookies (regular, not footlong). 
The chips, pretzel, and half of a chicken & cheese wrap have been assimilated: the remaining 2.5 wraps are in the fridge, and should be good dinners/lunches for the next couple days.
My personal trainer was able to move tomorrow evening’s session (which I can’t make because of a work dinner) to today, so I won’t be going to DC for live jazz tonight. I’d been looking forward to it, but – while hearing live jazz vs working out should be a no-brainer – I’d rather go to the gym this evening and not have to worry about making up a session. Especially since this last month of personal training will be busy enough as it is, with other sessions I’m going to need to skip/reschedule (like Election Day).
(Ugh, I just had a handful of interruptions…suddenly it’s 2:45pm!)
If you don’t feel like you’re missing much, then you (really) aren’t! 
That’s a sign of a pretty good team.
The last time was when I became the Membership Chair of my NAACP branch. I’d only just joined the executive committee as a member-at-large (the smallest possible leadership role; dipping my toe into those waters), but at the first planning meeting the membership position was still vacant and it’s kind of important and I felt that I could do a good job. It’s my curse: whenever I volunteer, I wind up offering to lead/organize things. But I’ve been free for almost three months now, and it will be a looong time before I volunteer for anything again.
Indeed! 
Yay! The place and location sound great!
