Made of of my favorite fall dinners tonight, a butternut squash lasagna. Basically, it’s lasagna but instead of tomato sauce, you use butternut squash purée. You add some minced garlic, cinnamon, white pepper, basil and rosemary to the purée to make the sauce. Daughter and I will be able to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
Still can’t get over how quickly it’s getting dark even though the time change is a month away.

Oh that sounds so good! I agree, it seems like it is getting dark sooner than it should. We have had some rain here so that has not helped with that. I need sunshine!

For some reason I've been so tired all week. I've been sleeping ok, just feel run-down. May need to take a day off to just chill-out.

I had my covid booster last Sunday. Felt a little yucky earlier in week. A day off sounds great Rachel! You may need the batteries recharged! I am so happy it is finally Friday.
Have a great weekend!

Wore the new dress today and received several compliments, happy that I was finally able to get it.
Definitely need a few days off, feel really exhausted, mentally as well as physically.

Came back from a holiday with hubby last week, in Friuli/Italy and Styria/Austria. Visited Venice, Trieste, Grado, Udine etc and made some hikes in Styria. Weather was mostly good, but at home we had a few warm days, then it turned cold again. Also no WIFI when we returned, so a technician had to come, only to change one cable. Also had some medical tests which turned out okay, so quite busy this week. Tomorrow hubby and I will have our 29th anniversary, so (as the weather was warmer today) we made a hike in the Wachau and had some lunch at a nice restaurant which we discovered by chance. Tomorrow will be a quiet day, and hubby promised to heat our wood oven. Glad you had your covid boosters and flu shots! Hope you feel better Kygal! Yay for the dress Rachel, and take some days off to recharge your batteries! Have a good weekend everyone!

This was case management week. They fed us breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks every day. I feel like I have gained a few. Have a fabulous weekend. Will be fall-like here.

Very fall like here for a few days, then an 80 degree day yesterday and a 70 degree day today. But at least no rain. And speaking of rain, all of our pumpkins are starting to rot. I read somewhere that it's because the growing season was so wet this year - the pumpkins have extra moisture on the inside so they are going bad quicker than usual.
Kygal, like you I love/hate it when they feed us at work. Nice for all the treats, but dang, those extra pounds do sneak on so, so, easy.

Freezing cold in my office today - when I got in it was 60F. Have my space heater going full blast and it's now up to 65F.
Looking forward to the weekend, and starting to do some long-range planning for Christmas. We shut down the week between Christmas and New Year, I might take a few extra days off to have a 2 week break. I think I need it.Now that Moderna has been approved for boosters, I may go get one this weekend.
