1. Around here it's more like - hooray fall! Bring on the fall colored toe nail polish to high light your fall flip flops.
2. Worrying? I feel like I worry better than aaaaaanyone.
ETA: Reading your responses I can say that, I'm also the absolute best at translating my 3 year old. Unfortunately her language is becoming more and more clear, so that's becoming less and less of a thing.
1. I'm mixed on fall. I like the seasonal change, and I don't mind the rain (also in PNW), but I start to feel stress about holidays around now so there's that. I hate pumpkin spiced sweet stuff, but I make a good pumpkin curry soup.
2. My hearing. This came in handy the one time my kid snuck out onto the front porch at 5am.
olenka I don't mind the first few rains because they are so refreshing after fire season smoke. I think the fog drives me more crazy. It's sunny 30 minutes any direction from me but we are stuck in the valley fog and sometimes it burns off just in time for the sun to set. This morning we had amazing sunrise then the fog rolled in and here it is almost noon and still a thick wall of fog out my office windows.

Oh wow...yeah I would be feeling down if there was dense fog around me for a prolonged period of time. It is interesting how many different microclimates are in this area!
olenka, the sun came out shortly after 12 today and it's a nice 62 outside but breezy. I'm hoping to deal with leaves and pine needles when I get home this afternoon and maybe mow depending on how much homework DD has. Our friends from Central Oregon freeze when they come over to visit during the winter. 40s and damp is so much colder than the snow covered and 20s they are used to.

1. I love it. Wish it lasted longer, especially since I spent most of October being sick. The pumpkin spice everything can get a bit too much, though. There’s more to fall than just pumpkin spice.
1. In my mind, I HATE fall. It signals the end of summer and is depressing AF. surprisingly this year, I'm looking forward to slightly chilly weather, and fall food. Probably because summer this year has stretched until... this week? I have 1 PSL each year, to remind myself that I do not like them. I'm not a pumpkin fan, I prefer apple/cinnamon type stuff.
2. Can't think of a superpower right now, but am so happy that I was able to get both of my girls into their cribs in their own rooms at 5 and 6 weeks old. The 3yo never tries to come into our bed, except on weekend mornings, when we welcome it.
21 hours ago I said this.
So of course, when I was up at 4:45 this morning feeding the baby before heading to the gym, 3yo comes into her little sisters room to ask if she could "go lay in Mommy and Daddy's bed and watch somethin' on your phone."
