Trying to come up for air and trying to act normal again

Okay, I know I haven't "talked" at y'all much in the past two weeks since I've been dealing with my dad's passing, but I can't talk much today either. 

I’m busy at work because one of my bosses just got back after a week of vacation and he was hiking in a canyon (to which I said, “that is not my idea of a vacation at all”) and had no email or voice mail access so we are playing major catch up today. 

And I have someone coming to my house to cut and color my hair tonight so I may not be able to post after work either depending on how late she’s working on me.  Don’t I sound like a snot?  I have a stylist coming to my house because I’m too important to go to a salon.  (Not really.  In case y’all actually believed me.)  She is my friend’s niece and she used to work in a salon but is now working somewhere else and trying to build up a side business doing hair so she comes to your house and let me tell you how happy I am that she does.  I have not had my hair cut and colored since January.  January, y’all.  Being in a body brace and cast with my broken arm for over 3 months, coupled with all of the crap that I’ve had to fix in my house and co-pays for doctors and physical therapy, etc. I just haven’t been able to go get my hair taken care of.  I have some brown, some reddish highlights, some dark roots, lots of gray, etc.  It is a hot, hot mess.  Well, I wouldn’t actually say it looks very hot.  But it’s a mess.  The girl stopped by my house Saturday to see what color she needed to buy and she very diplomatically told me that it’s going to be a challenge to straighten out the color situation I have going on.  Y'all keep your fingers crossed that I'm not too much of a challenge for her....

I did want to get back to Music Monday though because I'm trying really, really, really hard to start feeling at least the tiniest bits of normalcy again in whatever ways I can muster.  My dad’s death has really knocked me for a loop in so many ways.  So let’s play!  This weekend in Atlanta, we finally felt the tiniest bit of autumn in the air.  It was in the high 50’s/low 60’s in the morning and even though that’s a little too warm for my taste, it did make me feel a little bit more energized than the past many months of walking outside at 8:00 a.m. to find it in the 80's already with 90 percent humidity.  So this week’s theme is:  Fall!  The title(s) of the song(s) you submit must contain a word associated with Fall (leaves, chill, crisp, an autumn month, etc.).  As usual, I have a few songs in mind.
