Good Monday Morning MMC! I had a good lunch with my uncle which lead to a 2 and a half hour talk about life. Was quite interesting. I say it a lot cause I see it in myself too but when I talk to people like him that I have known my whole life I see how getting older changes us (mostly all for the better). Anyway, I decided to text my supervisor yesterday to tell her I may have to take off a semi-emergency vacation day Wednesday. I never ever do that last minute but since I'm picking up Rollins on Tuesday my brother suggested I take off Wednesday so we can spend time with him and get him adjusted for a couple of days. She told me to just email my boss to let her know. She's out of the country this week. Not sure why I am a tiny bit nervous to do so as she has never once given me a hard time about taking a day off...just don't like springing it on her last minute.
Have a great Monday everyone!

Glad you had a nice visit with your uncle. It's a good idea to spend time with Rollins and get him adjusted & feeling comfortable. Good luck!
Have a great day!

If it is that important, I'm sure your boss would understand. Life is a lot more than where and when you work. All my best.

Morning MMC!! Woke up and the house had a Artic feel to it this morning. Refreshing after the last few days of unbearable temps.

Yes, I open my windows at night now. Still in the lower 70's to upper 60's, but I love the fresher aroma it brings in.

Keeping with the theme... today I will be decorating the two small lit pines in my office. I found a bunch of the smaller ornaments while cleaning, so why wait?
Have a great week everybody!

Hope you have a good day!! Sounds like you had a great lunch. That will be good that you are taking Wednesday off. Don't worry about last minute...things come up!
 
Merry Monday!! Just work for me today and I am going to hit the gym later. It feels as if the humidity broke a bit and it will not be as bad although we still should reach 90. Andre is back on track today so something was just not agreeing with his stomach. Hope you all have a great day!
 
Good Morning, Everybody.

Great to be back from a nice family reunion in western South Carolina......
but what a shock!
Can we really be into the LAST quarter of our Season count?
Well, if Edge say it, it must be so.
(And my thanks to Mr. Edge for piloting us over the dangerous waters of a Milestone crossing and safely into the "coasting" final 25 percent leg of our journey.)

Days to the Season: 90
Days to Christmas Day: 132

And do we dare check the chart for our next marker?
No. Too soon. Need to let the enormity of the Season's close proximity settle in and be assimilated first.
(Of course --- tomorrow's another story!)


Hot and humid in South Carolina, the same as here in North Carolina.
(Mother nature does not play favorites in the south!)
We did get a nice rain yesterday evening that cooled things off but not until it was time to go to bed anyway!
This morning has dawned clear and humid with only a 20 percent chance of precipitation and we are at 80 degrees here, already.


Have a Marvelous Monday, Friends.
(And can you believe that tomorrow we will reach the half way point of August??)

Good morning Edge, Happy Monday!
Glad you had a nice visit with your Uncle. I think it's a great idea to take off a day for Rollins. Hope all goes well. You must be so excited, can't wait to hear all about him!
Have a great day!

Thanks Crown!
Keep cool and have a great day :)
 
Good morning everyone, Happy Monday!
I'll be heading out soon, I have a couple of errands to run. Back home afterward to work on my daily chores. I have an appointment this afternoon to have my hair cut & colored. That's about it for me.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and has a great week ahead ♥
 
Hello everyone. Well, as far as my neck of the woods goes, the weather folks say we should be out of the 100s for the year! I hope so. August can be dreadfully hot and we had a tough run these past two weeks. But I think we are done with that nonsense.

I hope you all have a great week.
