Y’all, I am getting so excited for fall. Right now I am walking by the sweatshirt, comfy section of my closet and giving it a little love tap…..see you soon, comfies! Even though we don’t fall back until November, I am already looking forward to darker evenings and tucking in early. One of the things I look forward to when I get up in the morning is returning home and settling in…..
This is how I shutdown for the day and settle in:
I usually change into some “not street” clothes immediately. I definitely lose the shoes and grab my Ugg slippers. I want to be an apron person. I love aprons. I buy them all the time. I just think it’s a good look to piddle around the house in a cute apron. I am going to work on using the aprons more.
After dinner prep, dinner and a little television, I turn on the outside lights, check all the doors and turn down the thermostat. I like to sleep in the cold. I love heavy covers. I am pretty sure I was enjoying weighted blankets before weighted blankets were a thing. So I always want to have heavy covers on the bed all year. I start cooling the house down so after my shower, it’s right under the cozy covers I go.
I finish the night with my prayer book and a Bible reading.
I admire people who shutdown by exercising. And I know some of you finish the day with a sweet treat or a little glass of something. In my youth I used to have a Klondike bar every night. I think of that now and it blows my mind. Before evening caffeine became a problem, I would also have a coke. Seriously, who was I? Now I am down to heavy blankets! Oh well, such is life.
What’s your settle in routine? What do you look forward to each night? Gosh, I can’t wait for tonight now!
Settle in, my friends!
