Another glorious day…
For obvious reasons, up dates have been scattered.
Just stopping in now to say things are going well. It’s not as hard to get up with a newborn as I remembered it being with Pickle. I think my Peanut looks like my mother-in-law, a blessing and bittersweet. We have new neighbors across the hall; the apartment was empty for about two months. I bought a potted Zinnia and two white Chrysathemums for my porch and they’re thriving. My Gerbera daisy has quadrupled in size and has blossoms that are as large as sunflowers and just as yellow. My hanging plant is struggling, but I think it was meant for spring and summer. Next year I may try herbs.
It’s 75º and lovely. There’s a great breeze coming in our windows and the air is fresh.
Classes also started on Wednesday so I have homework and lots of stuff to go through for my education classes. I’m not going to give up like I did as an undergrad but I won’t pretend it’s not intimidating. But if I sit down and go through and create a plan and some questions it will help clarify my mind and go from there.
So that’s where I’m going now. I want to get some housework done (yes, I know it’s a Sunday) but Elroy* is off tomorrow so we want to have a nice Labor Day before his paternity leave ends (that’s been a blessing, let me tell you). He also said today that if Jeopardy holds auditions in our area, he’s going to go. I’ve been telling him for years to audition because he’s got a junk drawer of a mind and knows 99% of the answers on Jeopardy before Alex even finishes reading the answer. I said he doesn’t have to go all Ken Jennings on me, just win enough to pay off some of our debt and maybe get a new minivan or car (I’m torn between the VW Routan and the Saturn Outlook…wishful thinking).
Anyway, housework calls and so does homework. Got to run.
The VW Routan is a wonderful choice. We bought one last month. The Routan comes with a lot of features for the money. VW is willing to buy a market share in mini-vans. We negotiated a price below invoice AND 1.5% interest!
