October is my favorite month... I can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly. I mean, I'm sad that the days are shortening now and I barely have time to get home, race to the barn and get in a decent ride on Isabella before it gets too dark. But.. there's something in the air.. excitement, the breath of something new.. that makes me giddy.
It's getting much colder these days. I have a sheet, 3 comforters, and a quilt covering me now at night which builds up a nice little heat trap for when I sleep.. however, this makes getting up in the morning very very difficult. I also shower at night and with the cold air, my hair doesn't even dry completely by the time my alarm wakes me. You'd think I'd get sick with cold hair.. but I haven't gotten sick in like 2 years.. WTF is up with that?? I want to stay home from work with a legitamite excuse, damnit.
Maybe the evenings in October remind me of Halloween.. or it could be playing outside in the cloudy overcast afternoons when I was a kid. Whatever it is.. I love this month. Good things are going to happen this month.. sheesh, with the way this year is going, it couldn't get any worse (knock on wood).
