Lazy days of summer
Sigh, well, summer is actually starting to wind down. Has been nice. Went to Texas, high school reunion, saw my cousins, my second cousin who was about to get out of jail, visited Corpus Christi. Would I want to live in Texas again? Hmm, hard to say.
Still trying to get through painting house. Haven't even started on inside, but only two rooms--living and my bedroom--to do, plus hall. Presume Todd will do it all but he is somewhat erratic. If he can ever get away from his sister and his sister's friend, then maybe things can go more quickly, or at least go. Have possible color for br but no idea still what to paint the lr. Also much more fix-up stuff to do. Why won't my outdoor light work now that I have replaced the switch? Wires reversed? Shouldn't be an issue but I will try it.
Eek! School starts in two weeks. My schedule already shaping up. MW tutor in afternoon and TR late morning archeology class. Probably at least one more tutoring class. Maybe the Transitions program, with high school students taking hybrid senior/freshman English. Can I deal with high school students without wringing their necks? Will they be mature enough? More importantly, will I? Oh, and a 3% raise. Where will I spend all that money!?
Murphy the dog is a nice new addition. Poor old Rocky gone but not forgotten. Not my favorite dog; his personality was just too unimpressive. I wonder if he wondered why he was never treated as well as he deserved? The only time we were really close was when Tango died and I let him sleep on the bed.
And the ever-present question hanging over everything: What about Roger? How long can this go on?
