LIFE
Happenings
Honestly right now all I can think about is this dang COVID that I have and I could probably make every answer to these COVID related. I don’t want that though. This month hasn’t been only about COVID, so I’ll write a post about that later.
Loving Rob for taking care of me through all this.
Happy that September is almost here and hopefully we might get some hints of cooler weather…probably not, but I’m always hopeful for it.
Reminiscing
Thinking back to September 2012 Carnival Dream Cruise when we went on a family cruise and took the kids out of school for a week. That was glorious!
Social
It was good to see Rob’s Dad and Step Mom earlier this month when they came for Caitlyn’s graduation.
Work Memories The scare that I have exposed folks to COVID. Jury is still out on this.
Lesson Learned If you feel sick, stay home!
Current Project
I don’t have any projects going on right now. I do need to do some cleaning and organizing around the house. Our playroom has become a storage area, which needs to be dealt with.
I am going to be doing the soccer league pictures in September, so that will be a major project coming up.
Drew comes over when he can and visits even though he doesn’t live as close before he moved earlier this month.
Alex started his senior year. He’s has 1st period off, so he gets to go to school at like 10am. He’s taking Physics, Dual Enrollment Calculus, and Senior English.
Rob started a pilot program at work to split work time between home and office from August 1st till end of the year. He alternates M/W/F and T/Th depending on the week.

Good Girls (NBC) – trying to finish Season 4. ★ ★ ★
The Staircase (Netflix) ★ ★ ★

I watched a bunch of other stuff, but most didn’t even make it through the 1st episode. Like I said, I’m struggling to find good stuff to watch.
Rob and I watched:
Home Before Dark (Apple TV+) – Season 1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ – A must watch! First few episodes are bit slow, but really develops into a great show.
Ted Lasso (Apple TV+) – Season 2 ★ ★ ★ ★

Look back at last month.
I’m so sorry you have Covid 🙁 I hope your journey with it is going okay. It’s such a crap disease when you have to worry about who else you may have infected 🙁
In non-Covid commenting — I can’t wait for that Oreo dip recipe and yes please September, bring some cooler weather.
Sorry to hear you have Covid. My husband and I had it also but not contagious anymore just feeling the aftermath. I am starting to feel a lot better now and walking and eating again off oxygen now. husband still have a rough time and hopefully it gets better soon
Have a great day!
Marilyn ❤️
I hope you feel better soon and such fun memories of a cruise. I hope to do that again next year!
Oh that Oreo dip looks amazing! My mother in law called us every single day of our 14 day quarantine last year to see if any of us had developed symptoms and apologized each time for exposing us (even though she felt 100% fine when she was here and had not, to her knowledge, been in contact with anyone covid positive). I kept reassuring her (as I would YOU if we met IRL) that you just can not help it. Viruses spread… that’s what they do and sadly they are waaay better at it than we are at stopping them.
I’m so sorry to hear about you getting Covid. I hope you are feeling better soon and don’t have any lasting side effects. Love the picture from the cruise!
