Five things that made me happy today:
1. Writing, or rather, rewriting. I found it difficult to get into the rewrites this morning. However, once I figured out that section A needed X, while section B actually needed 123, I got into them much more.
2. My darling schnaucl, as always.
3. up_your_peach — because she’s so cute.
4. It’s Wednesday! Project Runway tonight!
5. Going for a walk outside and taking pictures of pretty fall foliage.

| Colored ivy This was ivy over growing a wall. |
 |
| Fall colors |  |
| Fall tree |  |
| Diseased leaf I don’t know what happened to the leaves on this tree, but they were all like this — covered with this white gunk. |
 |
| Leaves on the sidewalk |  |
| Colored ivy Colored ivy growing up a building |
 |
| Fall leaves More fall leaf colors |
