It's Finally Fall!!

It's taken until November for there to be a chill in the air, but it's been worth the wait. Fall is my favorite season. I love watching the leaves change and pulling out the winter sweaters. Going to the pumpkin patch is usually the first event of fall for me. Alas, they have no pumpkin patches in east Texas (or so I am told). I had to console myself with store-bought apples for homemade applesauce. It didn't quite do it, but I'll take what I can get I think. Halloween was a bit of a letdown. We had very few trick-or-treaters. Maybe because we are in the back of the development? Even with the little darlings taking handfuls of candy we had a lot left over. Luckily, I had anticipated this and bought chocolate. Now we don't have so much left.....

I had my first ICU transfer yesterday. It was for hypotension which turned out to be fungal sepsis. It was a bit of a letdown because there was nothing really emergent and that typical adrenaline rush was not there. Not that I want a sick patient, of course!

We are off to Houston today with a list of things to do. We have to go to Ikea to replace a chair that broke and the Asian food store for some more rice. I think we will get dim sum for lunch. I need those little rolls filled with BBQ. I'll have to find out what they are really called!
