It’s almost officiall Fall. Tomorrow. At 7:04 CDT. That’s the Autumnal Equinox. Meteorlogical Fall has already happened, ie, September 1st. Anyway, maybe Mother Nature has gotten the message. We had a small front arrive yesterday and the highs and lows this week are forecast to be more…seasonal. I keep saying this and I really mean it this time–okay every time it comes out of my mouth…and fingertips. I am soooo done with summer.

So, last week sucked. It was hot. Stuff didn’t get done. It seems my whole summer was like that.

That said, I did some stuff. I had an eye check-up, meeting the new associate doctor at the clinic. She’s cool. My regular doc, who owns the clinic offered his condolences re: Jake. Same with his staff. Jake was a favorite there. My pressure is stable in a good range so the glaucoma is still in check for now. Toby was a good boy and got into the car without too much hassle but it took both LG and me to get him into it. Now that we might have seasonal temps, I’ll start working with Toby outside with walks. He needs the discipline. I need the exercise. Hopefully, as the other commands come, “Load” will become seocnd nature.

I was bad. I ordered my Walmart run to be delivered. The weird thing was that there were two meat items one there that were available for in-person shopping and store pick-up but not for delivery. I just didn’t want to deal with going there in person. Just driving anywhere alone in the car feels weird. Anyway, the heat was my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

I did a minimal amount of writing. I really need to just do it. I know y’all are bored with my whining about it.

The squirrel mafia is getting bold. There are now two of them fighting for their turn in the birdfeeder outside the office window. They play chase along the window sill and bounce in and out of the feeder, making it swing wildly. On the other hand, the hummingbirds are busy at the feeder so I’m hoping the cooler temps aren’t temporary.

Stormy had a good match on Saturday. The coach even texted his mom to brag on him after the game. I’m hoping to catch him in action now that it’s sort of cooling off. In college football, my Cowboys had a huge game–59-0. The team they beat wasn’t exactly stellar but hey! It’s a win and both the offense and defence were rolling. OU, on the other hand? They won–barely–against an unranked team. Here’s hoping they can figure out all the moving parts before they play Georgia this coming weekend.

In reading news, I’ve fallen into a Charley Davidson marathon. Darynda is a friend and I love her sense of humor–as shared through Charley’s character. It’s been two years and before that, it was like almost 10 since I’d done anything close to a marathon. It’s an interesting world to inhabit for a while and yes, I am still hiding out in other places. Anyway, if you’ve never read the Grim Reaper/Grave/Charley Davidson books, you should. The main series is complete and Darynda has branched out into the next gen, ie. Charley and Reyes’s daughter. I’m hop;ing for a new set of books coming out sooner than later in that arena.

So that’s my news. Anybody got good stuff going on?
