The "Currently" link-up at the beginning of each month is now hosted at Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa. Our hostess Amy posts a set of action verb prompts for the month and writers respond. So, without further ado, here are this month's prompts and what's happening currently . . .
***********
Adjusting to - the morning traffic patterns during my commute. I've had a couple of days since school started up that went very smoothly and I got to work on time or a little bit early. And I've had a couple of days when the traffic was just snarled up everywhere and I wound up late. So I'm trying to determine if those were just weird days with roadwork or accidents or something slowing everything down, or if that's the traffic pattern I can expect most days and the other days were lucky. Related adjustment is how to drive directly into the sunrise without going blind. Fortunately I only drive east to get out of the neighborhood so it's only a few blocks worth. My husband has to drive for long stretches directly into the morning sun, and I assume there will probably be a season that he'll drive directly into the setting sun for a bit too.
Baking/Cooking - I try to make quick meals on weeknights so they are usually pretty simple. I made country fried steak last night which was a little more work but didn't actually take very long, all things considered. I'm trying to bake bread more often, especially as we get into fall. I'm planning to invite friends to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving with us, and even though that's a month away, I'm thinking ahead about the menu so I won't wind up feeling rushed. That's the plan anyway!
Decorating - my house, I hope! I still haven't put anything up on the walls or added much in the way of decor. I have a large wall hanging at the Maryland house that I'm bringing back after the weekend and it will go in the living room here. That should kickstart me a little bit!
Balancing - the budget. Trying to stay on top of that, anyway!
Learning - a few updates to music and choreography and making sure I get it all right because International is less than two months away!

Here's a short Coffee Break Reading List . . .
I'm currently reading . . .
Decluttering at the Speed of Life by Dana K White
I've been on a break from reading this summer. That's the only fair way to describe it. I'm almost finished the above book, and since we're going away for the weekend, I'll take one or both of these ones along and see if I can get back to more regular reading and start checking books off my list again. A new book I'd pre-ordered just arrived in the mail yesterday, and I'd all but forgotten that I'd ordered it, so now I have that to get to as well!
Things at my book blog, Just A Second, are on pause right now, since obviously there are no new reviews to share.
