Another one of those weeks
Whew!
Lots has been going on this week, and I have been managing to keep up with my reading of email and LJ, and even a LITTLE responding, but not much in the way of actual new posting from me.
Here's a brief overview.
In health news, we are keeping an eye out on several fronts. The girls' volleyball team at the Middle School is 100% on board with headlice, and at least one teacher had to take some time off due to WHOOPING COUGH. So far we are all pretty much okay...but watchful. And paranoid.
Books: Damaris and I failed to find the 1st half of the Encyclopedia of Buddhism, which is a bummer, but we grabbed a couple other good ones Monday and quite a few good ones on the last day of the booksale, when the books are $2 a bag. Sales are up too, so I'm camping happily at the moment.
My general goal for this year was to make a clear profit of $1000 per month, which I think is decent and modest. At the moment, we are up to August 13th.
Last night we had another surprise visit by my middle son, Big Sterling the truck driver, which is always fun. In breaking news, diesel gas costs WAY too much....
Today it rained really hard for about 15 minutes, which was also a nice surprise. In other rare occurrences, I got struck by the urge to clear up and rearrange my computer work area. When I get done, there will be pics.
Also, next week there will be pics of my grand-girlies in their first flag football game. They signed up, then ALMOST didn't go for it, as they are the only girls. But when their teammates and coach started dropping worshipfully at their feet because they are so fast and so good at catching the football...they were persuaded to stick around. :)
