Falling into Fall

I can't believe its November already. At one of my schools today, the teacher was counting, and we only have 12 school days (11 now) until Thanksgiving break. That just seems crazy to me. I am feeling much more comfortable in my job, but at times, I still feel like school has just started. We have had 50 school days now. The time change is making running a bit hard for me now. I came home, and was barely able to get my running in before the sun had set. It sure looked pretty, but soon its going to be too cold and dark for me to go running outside.

I'm also more actively looking for a cat. I've decided I need one if I'm going to continue living alone much longer. I just need someone to talk to around the house, even if its a cat. I really want a Siamese cat, but they are so expensive. I went and looked at this shelter on Saturday, and they had some Siamese mixes, but none that looked super like a Siamese, and none that were kittens. I really want a kitten as well. Plus, they wouldn't let anyone take the cats out of the cage, and it was hard to tell what its personality was going to be like when they are just cooped up inside a cage. I felt so bad for them, but hopefully they will all get good homes. So, hopefully before Christmas I will have my very own cat.
