I'm going to be out and about with my 2 favorite people! It's quite cool here, but a robin brooch will help me remember that spring is always right around the corner...

Yesterday - off to the doctor for a shot in my arthritis foot. NOT MY BAD KNEE... sigh...
Today, laundry and working on The Vivienne Files - those posts in the pre-dawn darkness every Monday morning require a bit of planning ahead!

One day out running errands for HOURS, 1 day tucked up watching news and working on The Vivienne Files!

Monday was a quiet day at home, working; yesterday I ran all over the city shopping, getting a hair cut, and getting a mammogram!
Does anybody else have more fun than me? (yes, I'm still wearing a knee brace!)

We took a walk down to the Art Institute - always a joy to the soul! It's a perfect autumn day...

The problem is actually in my back, but the pain is in my knee? I'm not a doctor...
Our weather has finally gotten consistently cool, so I think that I will be wearing lots of black tee shirts or turtlenecks under my dress - sort of like wearing a black long-sleeved dress. Lots of 2nd layer possibilities!

1 day spent with my leg propped up with ice on it, and the next day with an early morning orthopedics appointment! My knee is going to need a lot of therapy...

Good heavens, I forgot about yesterday! It was a pretty regular day - marled black and white tee shirt under my black dress, with my trusty stud earrings, and ballet flats when I wandered around the building...

Busy catching up with a million little projects, as well as our regular blog posts. It's really warm in our apartment today; we face east, and have huge windows - when it's sunny out, it's warm in, no matter what time of year!

I'm not sure that we're going to make it out of the building today; everyone is tired, and we have plenty to do at home!

I just got to type the word October! Hallelujah!!!
Yesterday, we road-tripped west a couple of hours to visit a LOVELY area call A Better Place Forest. It's for interring cremation remains - under trees! Brilliant...
And today, I'm mostly working. I will probably go out and wheel my mom around someplace pretty, when I get some things done... (chambray shirt is UNDER my magic dress today)
I'm still loving my dress; yesterday in the forest I managed to attract about 100,000 burrs, which I pulled off over a period of hours. No damage done - a quick hand-wash and we're all good!

Janice
p.s. Four years ago, I filled in what were (to me) some pretty big gaps ... View the Post

I worked quite a bit on Wednesday, and then went out to lunch on Thursday. Getting dressed both days was so easy, and it's delightful to be able to wear my scarves so much!
love,
