imaginary

so suddenly it's fall. feels more like winter. we've turned on the heat for the first time here and i pulled out my coat the other day. i like the cold weather. at least a little of it. i'm sure i'll be glad when spring arrives again. i've been on a cooking spree lately. made sweet potato and squash soup the other day. and lentil spinach walnut salad last night. i've been feeling a little under the weather this week but i think the good food's helped me not to get completly sick. gareth's been pretty sick these past few days. and he was up late last night seeing where the wild things are. i went with him for the midnight opening. it was sold out. and well worth it. i really enjoyed how beautiful the imaginary world they created was. we still don't have a manager. another manager came by this week and showed me how to do some more things around the store. the district manager said she'd let me know what was going to happen next week. i asked if i was going to be staying at the store and said that i preferred to do that. but that i'd looked forward to that raise we'd talked about awhile ago. she said she thought i'd be staying there and that any raises weren't going to happen until the first of next year. so i guess i'm staying and i'll find out who comes soon.
