I used to work at Dallas City Hall, and this painting is up in the lobby. I took a picture of it and said here is a rare painting of three of Dallas’s major freeways. I was of course being funny, it is the men that the freeways are named after. No one got the joke.

It is finally chilly outside. The good kind of chilly, like 45 degrees outside. It was cold enough that I went and got jackets for my youngest and my oldest.

It has also been very windy, like howling windy. Like make sure those blowup pumpkins and ghosts are tied down because if they blow in to my yard I’m keeping them kind of windy.

I have been working on my customized journal. I have three months done. All three of those months together are thicker than the journal I have been writing in this year. My middle son asked why, I know why it’s double the pages. So instead of 30 or 31 lined pages you also have 30 or 31 sketch book pages. I knew this would happen I just didn’t realize how much thicker it would become.

So, I think what I am going to do is instead of having one huge book, I’m going to put them all separately and have 12 different books.

There was a planner service I subscribed to one year that sent a new planner every month, it also had what I thought was going to be a page to write down your thoughts. It wasn’t like that at all, it was those self help type things like write down your goals for this month. Where do you want to be in five years? Stuff like that, and when I emailed the customer service and asked if they had any planners with a blank page to write on instead of some guided exercises, they came back at me with some psychobabble about how people wanted these guidelines more than they wanted blank pages because blank pages can be intimidating.

Y’all, I want blank pages.

Anyway, that’s all for me today. Everyone enjoy your Thursday.
