Dancin' in September, never was a cloudy day...
How.Did.It.Get.To.Be.September?!?! The year is almost 3/4 gone! I cannot believe it! I feel like I just got settled into it being 2026, and now I need to order my 2027 book! YIKES!
So August weather was weird too, with LOTs of rain. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, we got about 12" of rain in 2 days. No joke. Flooding was everywhere.
Old Business:
- Started doing Trail Guide again - go me! Hands Heal and P4S still... not.
- Gardening and house maintenance continue to take a front seat to anything else.
- Finished The Testaments. Interesting convergence of 3 different stories.
- Now reading World Without End by Ken Follett. I know, it's the middle of the series. It is so good, I will probably end up reading Pillars of the World too. It is a HUGE book, I've read like 300+ pages and still not halfway done.
- Magazines are still good.
- Mending pile continues to grow. Waiting for a rainy day when I am actually home! LOL
- Have some memorabilia to put away again, but small pile. I also need to start next project - homework book for 025.
- PCP visit went well. She is the daughter-in-law of former neighbors, not sure how I feel about that. But she's put me on midridine and I continue to wear my abdominal compression and it all helps. Except when I forget! Knee still in the brace quite a bit.
- Guitar practice getting better again.
- Weeding continues to go well. My goal is to get all the way to the end of the northwest fence. Last year I was just shy of it by about 10 feet or so. Stretch goal would be to work on the alley.
- Finally got bush trimming done at work. K and I came in on a Saturday and buzzed through a lot, and even power washed the building. Which it needed so badly. Also got sick and threw up my breakfast that Baby Bro and I had gotten. Yuck! Now, it needs weeded again, and we said we'd do the big building this fall. Whelp, I guess it's fall!
- Remodeling at work is done. Full sized washer and dryer are now installed. There were so many problems with the building that had to be fixed first! YIKES! Now we just need to put the room back together. We had stuff everywhere, everything is so filthy from drywall dust, etc.
- Colonoscopy was clean this year. A was able to take me now that she is retired. Such a sweet woman!
- 022 did visit, but we were not able to transplant anything - TOO HOT! LOL She's now on a CA road trip (on her way back now), so MAYBE...
- Did not make it to the service project on Tuesday. Was still pretty hung over from the anesthesia.
- I ended up being able to go down to B&T's house on the 4th as well, so we had a nice family get together breaking in his new grill and deck. Again, SO HOT! but we had fun. Played Acquire again. We all love it!
New Business:
- AMTA National Conference was in Denver last week. So much fun! Got out there a couple of days early and was able to have breakfast with S one day and catch up a bit. Never enough of that! A few of us took off for Indian Hot Springs and that was fun. Got a little car sick. Dad and K tag teamed taking care of the kitty. Missed her a lot.
- Closing session speaker challenged us to END something on purpose. Couple of things I want to END - being bad with my start/stop times on sessions, and taking so many late appointments, and taking too many appointments. Hold me accountable to that!
