It’s August, and the summer has been so unseasonably cool that in a way it feels as if summer never really started - and here we are tumbling in Autumn. The Fall Semester of JCCC is starting soon and I’m not enrolled in any classes due to a Winter trip to Canada which takes place right in the middle of finals - and truthfully I could use some more time off, as much as I’ll have any time off while working a full time job that has overtime and a busy season from October through November.
I’ve made less art than I would have liked over the last month, but very industrious when it comes to embroidery, my dollhouse and research for a writing project that’s been percolating in my brain for well over two years. There was a visit to the new aquarium in KC (good, but not as good as Baltimore, except for the otters), and a trip to the Kitsap peninsula to scout areas to live when we move in a year or so.
With that planned move there is a list of a hundred things I need to do to make a house ready to sell, assuming the housing market hasn’t completely crashed by the time we’re ready - which is another great reason to not be enrolled in classes this fall: clean the house, empty the house, fix the house. I did just have the back deck rebuilt, and the front porch screened it which mostly helps with the rampant mosquitos… mostly.
I used to be better at conclusions, but the air is trying to kill me and my head hurts too much to care too much.
