- Well, we made it through another week. Where the heck is the time going? I remember this professor at FSU always answered me the same way when I got into the elevator with him. I’d ask “How’s it going?” and he’d just say, “Fast.”
- Thankfully, we got a rain-free day yesterday and my boys did an excellent job mowing and weeding the yard. Our lawn dude came Tuesday but he hedges and edges only so now it looks really nice. And with all this rain, everything is lush and green. It did rain in the night but don’t care; just needed a dryer day for mowing.
- We’re hosting the club brew tomorrow at our place so it needed to look presentable. We’re making a marzen, or for those of you who may not know, the type of beer you’d drink for Oktoberfest. Though there really are many for that, such as Vienna lager, festbier, dunkel, etc… I decided to cut out at 12:30 today so I can clean and prepare. I’ve been tasked with devilled eggs so I am boiling them today in prep.
- Last night, we were invited to go to Ology for trivia and I am so glad our friends brought their daughter. They’re girl scout friends and I had been feeling bad that Ash and I keep having things to do in the evenings and poor Dakota gets stuck at home with her brothers. Sometimes they do things together and but half the time they ignore her. So she and Katie got to run around and have fun while we attempted to recall useless knowledge. LOL.
- This morning, I am blasting through grading and trying to feel good; I drank my coffee, used some essential oils for this sinus headache, and I am about to do some lower back stretches. I really think they’ve helped my sleeping. i.e. I don’t have this underlying tightness and pain causing me to toss and turn. But then I saw a youtube video saying the ones I’m doing won’t give me long-term back pain relief! So, back to the drawing board on what might work, but as far as I’m concerned, if I can sleep, I’m good.

We’re less than two weeks from the second half of the year. The older you get, the faster it goes…
