Good afternoon!
We are first time staring to feel the fall today. Till now we have had extremely sunny and warm early fall, days getting uo to even 65 degree and even nights going only to as low as 45 F, but today it looks like more normal September. Well it is time, I guess. As fun as summer is, there are also certain allure in brisk fall days. My dogs (both northern breeds) certainly do like it, when it is not that hot any more.
We have had a busy weekend and after that also our lives will get to normal fall schedules. Both of our boys are going from pre-season to regular season with timetable to match. easy child also just realised, that he has two weeks left before the first exam week (our kiddies work is divided to about 30 courses a year, taught in five periods and every course graded separately), tons of work to be given back and some catching up to do after missing almost one third of the classes because pre-season tournaments abroad and camps. So he will be one busy boy next weeks.
difficult child was able to come home couple of days ago for a night. They had total three days off between pre-season and regular season and he had noticed that one airline used a route from his earlier home town to the airport driving distance away from him to advertise cheap flights and managed to get back and forth flights with very affordable cost to those free days of his. (I don't know if your airlines do this, but it is common around here. They take two remote and quiet airports 'close enough' some better known place, have few flights between those a week, sell them very cheaply and can so legally advertise very cheap flights from 'better known place A' to 'better known place B.' Those routes are not profitable to them, but they consider it marketing expense, because that way they can sell their 'better' much more expensive flights to people, who come looking because the cheap prices. But if these remote airports actually work for you, you can get really nice deals like difficult child got.) He spent a day in his old town and both his psychiatrist and therapist managed to squeeze him in even with rather short notice. That was great especially because his psychiatrist wanted to see him around this time to evaluate his medication that has been a work in progress and she had a vacation in July when difficult child already left abroad and he wasn't planning coming to home before much later fall. And of course I loved to have him home even for the short time. difficult child being difficult child he also managed to create drama and mess up during a day in his old town. But it is difficult child sized issue with consequences falling solely on him, so I don't have to do anything but sigh and roll my eyes. Though husband does make it difficult for me to present appropriate parental disappointed disapproval by laughing his butt off for the whole thing. You have to give it to difficult child, we really don't have to watch daily soaps, he provides us much more lively and entertaining melodrama. And I can't keep myself from following whole debacle (going on in social media still) and as said have tough time concealing my smirk.
All in all, normal fall day in my household.
Hope you all have a good day!
