tired but grateful

I always talk about gratefuls...but it helps...Working this past Saturday was difficult, after an extremely busy work week which included getting up at 5am one morning and working until 8 or 9 pm several days, I mean nights.  However, I was able to get away and visit 2 farmers markets this week.  It had been a whole month without any farmers market visits! That is too long, especially now that we are in serious harvet mode.  So, working in my office Saturday was a little better since I was snacking on farmers' treats and had this guy on my desk to make me happy.

When I was walking into the office with my first pumpkin of the season (there will be many more), a friend asked what I was going to do with it.  I said I would be placing it on my desk for happy viewing!!

6-day work weeks will be my norm now and indefinately.  It is serious dissertation writing time, and the bulk of this writing is going to happen on Saturdays.  I will need to find things to make me happy, to get through! I envision treats, special tea, and more pumpkins...Oh, and coming home Saturday night to a home cooked meal by Mike, what a lovely surprise!!
