Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
First weekend of autumn is a rainy one here in NJ. I don't mind though, sometimes a grey day is a good thing. This past week was the first week that I had the blinds open to let the sun in. All summer, doing that makes it too hot in the place.
The only plans to leave the apartment today were for getting the groceries, and that is done already. The rest of the day can be spent relaxing, although I do still need to put the laundry away from yesterday.
Friday after work I went to the CVS and got the flu vaccine. No after-effects today, other than some soreness and a bump at the injection site, which is the same thing that happened last year.
Next week is the last day of September, so I will go out shopping and get some Halloween stuff for the apartment.

Blessing to you too, Chuck! The only sign of fall is that it's getting cold in the nights, like down to the upper 40s. A few leaves are starting to change here and there.
Before my trip to Europe I got a COVID shot, but I came down with some kind of other bug on the last day or so of the trip. Just a cold I guess but it seems to be hanging on a long time. I'm ready to break down and take some medicine for it.

Mostly rainy weekend here, too. Highs around 70 at best. Looks like this will continue for a couple more days after this, but later in the week looks sunnier and warmer -- partly cloudy, highs in the upper 70s.
Some friends are planning to celebrate my birthday next weekend (it's actually in two weeks, but next weekend worked out better with people's schedules). If all goes well, we'll gather on the rooftop patio of my building and hopefully have it to ourselves -- when I go up with neighbors we're often the only people there, and aside from July 4, when you can see fireworks from all over, I've never seen more than a handful up there at the same time. Anyway, the good news is that the forecast for next Saturday calls for partly cloudy, 81 degrees!

Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Welcome to October!
;D
After many days of rain, we have sun now.
I was busy this weekend. On Saturday, I met up with my friend, Tina, and we went shopping. I wanted to get some decorations to put out around the apartment for Halloween, and she needed to get some home goods stuff, so we hit Burlington. She went to the home section, and I found some Halloween stuff there. The next stop was Khols, she needed to get new sleep pants for her husband, and then the final stop was Spirit Halloween. When I got home, I spent time cleaning the apartment, so that when I was ready to decorate on Sunday, everything would be clear and ready.
I slept in today, and then got to decorating the apartment with my new purchases.
I posted pics in the Celebrating Halloween thread.

Re: Burlington?
Once upon a time Burlington had a really nice store in an in-town shopping mall known as The Gallery that we had here. They had good stuff! I got lots of good dress-clothes-type things there. Hell, I got myself a Ralph Lauren suit there!
But then the store was moved to a different location in the mall, and the merchandise they began stocking in the local store is ... to put it both mildly and bluntly ... crap. I will not even set foot in the store.
Frankly, I am suspicious that the company deliberately dumps the shit-merchandise here because it's a center-city location and because of prejudice against the expected nature of the people who will shop there: lower income minorities.
