Another year older

Today is my birthday. It's not a round number, but it feels a bit momentous to me. That's because I've decided I'm going to retire as of next year's birthday. I'll still work part-time after that, but I'm looking forward to more of my time being my own. And maybe I'll actually get that website set up with my handspun yarn. In the meantime, I sold a bunch of skeins over the weekend at a spinning/weaving retreat, which helps a bit with stash reduction.

I had lovely weather for today (and the past several days, actually). Perfect October weather, with that October smell in the air. Pat and Peg and I walked around Lake Nokomis in the morning, so I actually experienced said weather instead of being my usual fan of the Great Indoors.

And now I'm about to have dinner accompanied by a mini-bottle of Prosecco -- and pumpkin cake for dessert. I call it a good day, if not an exciting one.

How about you? Any excitement or good stuff in your life?
