[Sparkle]

It's that change-of-season time and I have many things to do this weekend:

*Spiff up my autumnal wardrobe...buttons on cardies and hems in trousers all need stitching up, coats need steaming and shoes need polishing and a wardrobe needs assessment needs doing. Summer clothes need sorting and packing up.

*Give Cosmo a bath, followed by a scrub of the bathroom top to bottom (because one shake and it's all over)

*Store the a/c unit and the big fan, close the storm windows on most of the windows, lower those on the couple I like to have access to when airing the house.

*Start running outside again, time to get off the treadmill and enjoy the beauty of autumn in New England and the last month(s) before the S-word starts.

*Sign up for the 'Hot Chocolate Run' in December - because I really need a goal to help re-kick-start my running.
