I had planned to take pictures of our Halloween decorations this week and talk about our plans for the holiday.

I had also planned to take pictures of the floor we redid downstairs (like, 100 years ago) and post about that little redo.

And I realize that it’s only Tuesday and I may actually get my act together and find the time and energy to make that all happen this week.

Or I might not.

Frankly, I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately.  While I’m super excited about the fact that it’s finally fall and the holidays are juuust around the corner (I mean, I can almost hear those sleigh bells jing-a-ling, ring-ting-ting-a-ling), I really haven’t felt much like myself lately.  I’ve been fighting some kind of flu/cold thing and ended up just staying home from work yesterday because I was feeling so crappy and tired.  And during what should have been a relaxing afternoon, I discovered that we have some kind of critter running amok in our attic and front wall (always a welcome surprise.  Not.)

So, since this space is where I talk about what’s going on in my life — that’s what’s going on.  Life feels a little messy (as does our house), I’ve been avoiding my usual routine of cooking like the plague, and I kind of just want to hang out under the covers and wake up when it’s Halloween.  Or November.

Does that ever happen to you?  Where nothing is really tragic or wrong within your life, but you’re just kind of… tired?

I think I need to just snap out of it.

Anyhoo, that’s the deal.  I’m hoping I can work on getting back to being a productive human being over the next few weeks.  At that point things will hopefully pick up on the blog and be a little more interesting.

For now, bear with me, as things might be a little more silent over here.  (Or, at least a little less interesting than I’d prefer.)
