This summer I thought I wasn't going to work as much. But other than the vacation days I took, I've been working, working a lot. I have to finish up my 7 days in a row on Monday and after that I don't think I'll work for a few days. I'm tired of working.
There are quite a few things I haven't done this summer. My garden has been flattened by a hail storm and I've sort of lost interest in it ... it looks horrible. In fact, I haven't even looked at the garden at the front of the house in a couple of weeks. That's not good, it's not me.
We went to St. Albert for a family reunion on the August long weekend. We stayed in James' trailer in Jeff's driveway for 3 nights. It was generous of them to bring their trailer for us but 3 nights was a little long ... too long for a visit. The reunion itself was pretty good. Marge was stressed and of course Dawn was a stress ball too. There were a lot of people at the reunion ... Marge's extended family, Dawn's extended family, Jared's in-laws and even Betty's mom was there. It was a little disjointed and there seemed to be little family pods, not a real opportunity to mix or meet everyone. I thought it was going to be a Van Dyke family reunion, so it was a little unusual to me. But it was what it was ... what can you do?
I've been less happy, I'm in a funk and can't quite get myself out of it. After work today I took a really long bath and read a book that Catherine (from work) loaned me. It's not the best book but it's something to read. I also had a long nap, or at least attempted to nap, it was really too hot to sleep.
Tomorrow I'm working again at 7:15 and the only good thing about that is the fact that I'm not starting at 6:45. Uncle Wally is also going to come over for supper. That will be nice. We haven't seen Uncle Wally for a while and he's such a great guy.
There is less than one month left this summer and for the life of me, I have to get something going. I have to get some things done and I have to get a little happier.
