Hope all is going well there.

Today at least we seem to be getting a bit of relief from the hot, humid days. It’s been raining on and off since about 4 this morning. Fortunately no storms and the rain has been coming down nice and not in buckets so it’s not too bad. No sun – which I miss but we can’t have everything I guess.

At least I haven’t had to water my veggies and things this summer. The rains have cooperated well and made that less than necessary. I’ve had some fresh peas, beans, tomatoes, and herbs so far. It’s been nice. Since I don’t need a lot (and get tired of eating the same thing over and over), the small amount and variety I have planted seems to be working well. Soon though my tomatoes are going to really start producing and then we’ll see….I guess it’s a very good problem to have.

A couple of people in our office building have had strep throat this past week. I’ve got some of the symptoms but not the higher temperature indicative of it this weekend. I’m hoping my scratchy throat is more a result of having slept with the fans and air conditioner on rather than any viral thing. We’ll have to see. With our health insurance plan going to see a doctor (or more likely a nurse or intern) on the weekend can be quite expensive at times. I’ll have to see how I’m doing tomorrow.

Work – well until the economy improves I’m afraid it’s just going crazy. There’s no slow time and more with less is normal. Unfortunately they are still sending in reviewers on a regular basis to drive us a bit crazy at times.

Best wishes and take care!

Hi,

Hope all is well there.

Weather has been great this weekend! I’m struggling a bit trying to figure out what all these cooler nights mean – after all it is August so we should be much warmer than we are. Some people are saying we’re going to get some really hot weather soon and some people say this is a sign of a really cold winter (neither one of those options sound good to me!).

Still no tomatoes from my garden. Oh well – we’ll see…

Not a lot of free time this weekend – my great aunt (the last one) died. I went to the wake on Friday and the funeral on Saturday. Today we had an 80th birthday party for Dad at his place. It was really a nice time! However that busy weekend stuff has left me very little time to get my normal weekend work done (though I did get a few hours of office work done).
Work – we’ll we made it through another week. So much to do and so little time to get it done in. I hear that from a lot of people – get more done with less resources. It’s a sad statement about business in America.

Well, it’s been a long weekend and I’ve still got a few things to finish off…
