This past week has been quite nice weather wise. Been in the 80s during the day and 60s at night. Considering it’s August, this is fantastic weather for us. Last year during this same time period we were in the middle of one of those most horrendous heatwaves I have ever experienced and our AC was broken. What a difference a year makes! I think it’s supposed to steam up a bit come the first week of September but for now I am absolutely loving this weather. I’ll keep you posted on my chances for September lol.
This coming weekend is Labor Day of course and I decided to take an extra day off so I have a four day weekend as I took the Tuesday after as well. I am greatly looking forward to it.
We are on the stalled season for movies so I haven’t seen any in a few weeks. Last one I saw was Mission Impossible. Most of what’s out there now we will probably wait for netflix or something. I thought we might see The Meg this week but then M volunteered to work at an event for his community garden so that’s happening instead. Next week? Who knows. You know M just turned 54 and his dad died at 55 so he says to me, I have only one year left. Yes, I wanted to choke him for that. Sigh.
Funny how his birthday is around the same time as CP. CP’s being the 26th and M’s the 27th.
Last night after we returned from a celebratory dinner, I bought two more Christmas decorations! HA.
I posted the first chapter of Hello Darkness, My Old Friend on Sunday. As you know if you’ve read it, it took a very dark turn at the end, and I am afraid that will stay that way for now. My goal is to get it done by the end of the year and take them into the fall and holiday season in the story too.
I’m in the mood for my Starfleet Academy stuff so it’s likely I will work on Idiots in Love and The Experiment this week instead of The Sight or any of the rest. I intend to finish everything eventually that I have going. I guess as long as one or two of you stick with me, that’s all that matters.
I was at Target Saturday and saw that they had these television series figures from the 60s on an end cap of the toy section. I stopped when I noticed these guys from Mirror Mirror, The Original Series (suck that Discovery and Enterprise etc, TOS still comes first despite your BS, but I digress, lol).
My excitement at seeing them included in the figures soon subsided as I picked up the package to look at the dolls/figures. I don’t know who they were supposed to be because they certainly weren’t Shatner and Nimoy. Sorry, guys, but I think my 2 and half year old great niece could have done a better job getting them to actually look like Kirk and Spock. Ugh. Needless to say it went right back on the shelf. What a shame!

That is great weather!
Give himself a slap for me. Not cool mister. No talk of death!
I’m totally into your academy fics right now too so I’m super happy that’s where you’re focusing! (If I get a vote that is)
Boo on the dolls. But eh. You’ll find better!
Yay for elves!! :).
Here’s hoping the September weather doesn’t get too ugh!

The weather here is bleh. Too hot and humid. The weekend was so nice though I actually wore a hoodie to take Grammy to work Sunday morning. I’m ready for hoodie weather.
Enjoy your four day weekend!
Stalled on movies as well. Need to see Mission Impossible. I may pass on Meg…not a fan of shark movies LOL
Happy Birthday to M!
I saw those figures at Target a couple weeks ago Took a picture of them and meant to send them to you but phone broke so i couldn’t. I did get excited too and then saw the quality. Yeah, no. A shame indeed

Happy Birthday M! Definitely needs a birthday slap for that comment.
Yeah for updates and your good weather. We finally had a nice stretch of rain free and pleasant days this weekend … just in time to move my three girls into their two colleges! Sigh! The house feels just weird without them. I threw myself into some gardening. Discovered that I’ll never be a landscaper. Just too hot and difficult . But at least it looks better and I planted some fall mums outside my front door. Next few days there is a heat advisory issued. Ughh!
My oldest daughter and I saw Christopher Robin last week. I recommend it. We both enjoyed it! 🙂
I’ve had most of the last two weeks off to get my girls ready for move in days for college and unfortunately I have to return to work tonight! 😦

We went last week in $5 (all day) Tuesday. Can’t afford any other price. Lol!
My daughter and I have a soft spot for Winnie the Pooh… her bedroom was Pooh themed as a baby.
