1. It’s swiftly turning to winter here in Madison, although I have a feeling that we’ll stay in a holding pattern of 30-50s for a few more weeks. that’s ok with me. I love fall. And, winter is my favorite season.
2. I got my flu shot today, without any ill effects as of yet (knock on wood!). Have you gotten your flu shot this year? I highly recommend spending the 10 or so dollars and 5 minutes of your time. I have rarely gotten the flu in the last 12 or so years, and when I have been afflicted, it’s been shorter than normal. Since I frequently fall into colds and bronchial infections, this is a luxury.
3. The Madison Young Adult Havurah is having their first social action event on Sunday. We’re serving food at the Salvation Army (I know that some people have problems with this org, but they do feed and house a lot of Madison’s people in need). I’m looking forward to hanging out and doing good. And, it’ll be a fun event for the havurah.
4. Going to Chicago on Tuesday/Wednesday. I was supposed to go on Friday, but I didn’t get the time off I requested. So, we’ve rearranged. I can’t wait. I haven’t been in the Windy City since June!
5. Starbucks made their own holiday up. It was on Thursday. The “Global day of Cheer“. Can we just all pause a moment and consider how strange this is? And, of course, the store has turned into a sea of red and white. I’m going to be enduring Christmas for the next month.
