Welcome to Monday and the start of another week! It’s a busy one for me.

At long bloody last, Autumn is starting to show itself. FINALLY. It was definitely cooler walking the Ninja Boy to school this morning. Not sure if my trusty sidekick, Spencer, actually noticed (he just wanted to GO! COME ON, LET’S WALK!) but I sure as hell did. It’s so much more pleasant when you don’t have rivers of sweat pouring down your chest by the time you get to the end of the street.

Our high school is a lovely 12-15 minute stroll up and over the hill and across the park. Sometimes the Ninja Boy and I talk, sometimes we don’t, but either way is fine by us. Seriously, it’s one of the best parts of my day. We reach the school gate and it’s a quick hug for me and a pat for Spence and we wave him off, watching as he confidently walks to class on his own. *happy sigh*

On the walk home I turn my attention to the business of the day – what song to choose? It was decided for me after I hit shuffle and I came across this one; I wonder if you know it? It’s from the soundtrack of an iconic movie of a free-wheeling generation and very appropriate for the start of the week, in my opinion. My only advice? TURN IT UP LOUD, BABY!

Enjoy your Monday, people.
