Cool Thursday Morning
Posted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 6:00 am
Good Morning everybody,
Looks like I"m first one in the kitchen this morning. Well, just had a bagel and now some peaches for breakfast. Probably not the healthest but I'm not that hungry this morning and it's quick. Do have a couple of bagels left as well as eggs and bacon, toast and you will have to bring your own beverage though. Also it's a fix your own cause I have to leave for work.
Feels like fall here this morning. Temps in the 50's but going to head into mid 70's today. Cooling down more as the week wears down though. Fine by me. Am tired of the 80 degree weather. I know that sounds funny to those of you down in the south, especially you TX gals, but when you live in a area where the average summer temps are about 67.5, that's hot. We were actually 3.5 degrees above normal this summer, but have no official 100 degree weather on the racord books. This was the 11th warmest summer on record, so nothing big there either. Although I don't know how they figure out that average.
The park has slowed down dramatically, although there were 25 camps there yesterday, with 9 leaving and 5 coming in. But today it looks like the majority are heading out. I and two other coworkers are the only ones there right now. The camp office staff only has 2 people to hold down the fort, one of which came in around 4 yesterday after she finished working at the school where she works during the school term. The other will be in today. We don't have a lot of work going on right now anyway, as we have a spending freeze in effect, so can't buy the stuff we need to do some things we usually do in the fall. Those will wait till spring.
Tessa's latest checkup at the vet showed that there is some small improvement, but the critical levels are still a bit high. She does have kidney disease and my vet is trying to head it off before it goes into kidney failure. I'm waiting for some estrogen to be sent from a pharmacy over on the west side of the state. We are going to try that and see what happens.
Sounds like everybody's busy getting ready to head south or to other destinations, making plans for fall and winter GTG's, the AK group are returning home after a spectacular summer, Echo might have come home yesterday, Dawn is in OK and has christened her new rig (ouch) already. Don't know if Linda (Bikerchic) has left MI for points south yet or not. Barbie is moved into her new apartment complex, Soos had a great time at the bluegrass festival. Busy, busy, busy.
And it's time for me to get busy and get ready for work. Have a great day all, talk to you all later.
