So on Saturday, we went to Channel Islands Harbor for the Chowder Fest. It was fun tasting the different chowders and a little wine, too, but it was kind of warm even by the water to be tasting hot soup. Afterward, we went back to my friend’s house and had some wine while sitting out in his front yard. Then we went to a Cajun place for dinner. It was a long day for me.
This week, I am itching to get a new chapter of You are the Light That’s Leading Me done but I have to be a certain mindset for that because of uber angst. So we will see. I’d like to get First Impressions finished and maybe a new chapter of Didn’t We Almost Have it All. It’s going to be a tight week for me though so we will see.
This weekend coming up is my wonderful getaway to Morro Bay
I cannot wait. I will be gone Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. It’s more money than I should be spending, not going to lie, but I am going anyway and I know I will have a fantastic time.
But it also means a little less updating. I’ll get done what I can get done. Not going to worry about it.
We are only supposed to get a partial eclipse Monday between 9 and 11ish I think I read on the LA Times site. I’ll probably head outside to see what the sky looks like. And yes, I know not to go blind, *SMH* You are NEVER supposed to look at the sun people. They really think we are all idiots. Updated to add a picture of what we saw here in Southern California.

Hope everyone has a decent week.

Thank you so much! Cause, like, my school district decided to be like the ancient times people, decreeing that big ol’ moon passing between the earth and the sun was DANGEROUS to our students, so I didn’t even get to take mine outside nor see it myself.

Sounds like you did have a long, but lovely day Saturday 🙂
Again, Morro Bay looks so so pretty! I hope you and M have a beautiful time there 🙂
My procrastinating ass waiting until the last minute to realize “hey, eclipse. i should get those solar glasses” so when i went to look everywhere was sold out. I’m going to make a box one to look at it though b/c I don’t feel like being in a crowd for a viewing event at a nearby library…although they have glasses so I might just swing by to get a pair LOL

Same here, by the time I thought about it, they were all gone. Oops. It’s cloudy here today anyway, so not sure how great the visibility will be! I am old enough to be around in 79 when we had the last one though I was only a teen.

My mom was 18 in 79…I don’t think VA saw that eclipse. She doesn’t remember it and neither does Grammy
Grammy keeps talking about one she saw in elementary school but she can’t remember the exact year. She just remembers making the pin hole viewer box in class and her best friend laughing at hers.

I just saw it. My boss had the special glasses and we were passing them around. It was pretty freaking cool.

Chowder!!
I forgot Morro bay was this weekend! Woo! Oh you’re gonna have a blast. And I’m lovingly jealous about your trip.
I tried to side eye the eclipse but it was still too bright. Wish I’d gotten a pair of glasses now.

Glad you had a good time at the chowder fest, and enjoy your getaway! Update when you are ready.
My family and I had the eclipse glasses and an old welders helmet to use. Pretty cool, although we were not in the path of the totality.
A friend used the low-tech cereal box projector to view it. Her photos of it look pretty good.
Enjoy your week… I’m off from work for a staycation, with day trips here and there.
