I put the new calendar pages in my planner today. Planner-wise, my year starts on October 1. I think that puts me in step with the federal government, if not the company where I work (we're July-June), the Gregorian calendar, or the weather patterns of the mid-Atlantic.
And I do actually feel like fall is the beginning of the year. It's the new school year feeling, which is funny, since I've been out of school longer than I was in it.
Or maybe it has something to do with hockey season.
I did write down the Caps home games on my new calendar pages, but we aren't getting season tickets this year. (Take that, NHL and NHLPA.) I was irked to see two home games on weekday afternoons...Columbus Day? Does anyone but the federal government get that day off? I have yoga on Friday nights now, and I think I may need yoga more than hockey. I'm sure I'll get to a game eventually, but I'm oddly dispassionate about when.
Anyway, since I had the new calendar out, I went ahead and filled it up, not just with hockey games I may or may not ignore, but with charity walks and a bike ride. If anyone is interested in contributing to any of the charities there in the left sidebar*, I'd be more than happy to send you the link to the fundraising sites. (If you click on the logos, you'll be sent to the registration pages...just in case you want to join me for a walk.) And all of the events have opportunities to honor or remember loved ones, so if you have someone you'd like me to honor on your behalf, I'd be happy to do that as well.
