At home and out and about
Home: The neighborhood cookout went well. I finally got new kitchen shelving and I feel much better organized. Also my sweetheart painted the walls so the colors are much better together, got basement plumbing repairs/upgrades, and I got a new refrigerator (old one was 1999 or earlier vintage). My niece got a paying job and moved out, and I de-cluttered and she got bookcases, chairs, etc. Made LN2 ice cream with friends.
Entertainments: improv theatre with LJ's stevendj, Lucia di Lammermore opera in Philadephia, ladies book club, wandering around looking at merchandise and playing old video games after we sang at SuperSmashCon, library book club, got to know orchestra folks better at a cookout, sat at a firebowl, went to Philly for Labor Day weekend (board games and electric bicycle tryout).
Family: I think we've finally worked through the official estate business for my father, although we still have the house to deal with, but LJ's squishydish is living there so no rush.
Service: I helped make dinner at The Children's Inn again, and gave a lay reading at my church for the first time.
Work: We're short-handed, I'm doing a migration this weekend (unless it slips again) and missing the last pool party of the year for it, oh well.
