Hubby’s Home, Summer’s Over, Sun is Still Out
It’s been a REAAAAAAALLLLLLLY long summer!
Hubby was up north putting in a bridge on the Smith River. I only got to see him on weekends, and then he’d be gone again on Sunday afternoon.
Fires ravaged California & I was sent to Ukiah (!) for 4 weeks to do fire billing because we had so many Corpsmembers out fighting the fires (nearly 1000). I was there for 4 out of 5 weeks between July and August. I finally got smart & the last week I brought home copies of everything I needed so I could stay home to complete the last part of the billing.
Totally shifted what I thought I’d be doing all summer with my evening hours!
And, then the economy tanked, thanks to the wise handling of other people’s money by the wizards of wall street and the banking gurus, plus the strong need for the government to step in.
People are scared, so they are trying to hold on to what money they think they have.
Then my external hard drive died – totally mangled all the work I had done since July when I got so busy I forgot to back it up!
However. Thursday night my guy came home from construction for the season. It’s the last week of October and the sun is still shining – very lovely fall days here! Much appreciated since once the rainy, windy winter hits, it tends to stay through February.
And I just finished installing my July backup so I can now go find all the books, emails, etc. I had transferred to the external drive & re-install them, too. And contact all the vendors for the new products I had purchased since July.
After the first of the year I will be doing a lot of purging of papers, electronic files, etc., so this kind of feels like a trial run!
Hubby’s out playing poker tonight, so I’m finishing up this post and heading out to make some new glass. Now, if only I could find those bails!!!!
