Evie Day 529
Good morning, and Happy National Dog Day! If you are considering an addition to your family, please check with your local shelter. Today is Monday, 26 August 2024.
I had a pretty good weekend… any three-day block where I get to spend some time with my granddaughter every day is a good day. My daughter was over on Friday to get some things done, so Lisa and I were able to spend a little time with Evie. Saturday, Evie’s dad and another friend of his helped us remove a couple of trees from the yard, an old globe willow that had fallen during a storm a year ago, and a tree out in front of the house that had some big limbs in precarious spots that worried us. We didn’t want to see one of those big limbs land on a car or take out part of the front porch.
Yesterday was a road trip day to see my mom and some other family members. My mother turned 82 yesterday, although the birthday cake gave her a roll-back year… someone in the kitchen through mom was born in ’43 not ’42. That’s okay; no real harm was done. Mom’s laughter made her sound a year younger anyway.
I’m going to buckle down here in a bit and work on my week. I’ve got some follow-up business to take care of, some reading and practice to get in (tracking down a new security credential). My solutions architecture class picks back up tomorrow morning, and I want to have some new content available for them.
Tomorrow is another important day – my beloved’s birthday. I need to make a plan. My younger brother, Tom, has his 59th birthday on Wednesday… it’s that season for us here. Next month there will be a couple more, including my own.
OK, time to get focused on the day ahead.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
