hodge-podge

I don't often write very much because when I do think of something to write it is usually just a short little comment and I don't have a huge story or anything to write about. So, my posts often end up being a hodge-podge of random different things that have been going on. I think this is going to be another hodge-podge post.
Work: still going well. I'm pretty much working Monday-Thursday nights either 11-7 or 7p-7a. Which means I sleep during the day and really don't accomplish much at all! It is kind of frustrating because I want to do all this stuff around the house but really have no energy because I just want to sleep when I am not at work. Ugh - something has to change.
School: Not much has changed for Brett at all. School is still going well. He did really well on his second biochemistry exam which he studied a lot for! I am proud of him!!

The weather around here is really beginning to look like fall. The trees are just GORGEOUS. Right down the street there is this tree with bright red leaves - wish we had one of those in our yard! Our sugar maple in the front yard is starting to turn yellow with a little bit of red. It is really pretty too. Of course, we've got a bunch of leaves on the ground too. We raked the front yard yesterday and put all the leaves to the curb. On Mondays the city comes by and vacuums them all up.

The other day we were at the grocery store and Brett and I were commenting on the people around here. Brett then said, "every time someone says "I'm sorry" or "excuse me" I want to ask them if they are from Iowa." HAH. Basically - people around here are not like people in Northwest Iowa. Not that people are mean here - they just are not as friendly and humorous as those in Iowa.

Well time to attempt to be productive today. Brett made a fort for fat cat. He likes to be in small spaces. Have a wonderful day!!
