Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is finally cold in my little corner of the Fort and according to the wet cars outside it rained a bit too. The moisture wasn't only from the sprinklers startling me in the wee hours after an extremely weird dream. I was lucky to go back to sleep and clocked a good nine hours last night. Another unusual thing. This week belonged to the cats and dogs with the girls. One of Amanda's housemates has a therapy dog for her diabetes. Well, said human went on an overnight trip without dear Rover and it sounds like the poor dog has separation anxiety. Most of Friday and Saturday Rover was glued to Amanda. It's a...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I love how cool it is in my little corner of the Fort at this time of day. Now, we just need the afternoons to join the party! I am more than ready for long sleeves and cuddly blankets. Mother Nature might have other plans. What did we do this week? Classes are plugging along for the girls, and they are wondering when things are going to get difficult. Amanda did finally get some good feedback on their project from the director so hopefully that relationship can improve. Yes, she didn't go to UR, she does know her stuff. A little bit of homesick caught up to Serra this week. Being praised for things that...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! We might finally be sliding into fall in my little corner of the Fort. The nights are cooler and my dear tree out front is starting to thin. The streetlight shines a little brighter into the window each night making it time to close the valance curtain for sleep. What did we do with the short week? Things so far sound pretty quiet for Amanda. Her main concern is getting the graduate committee to sign off on one of her classes so that it counts for her degree. Trouble is, they don't meet to discuss this kind of thing until the 23rd. Fingers crossed it all goes through. Either grad school is easier than we...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! A little gentler start this morning as I did not get out of bed when I first woke up at five. Fall is trying to arrive with the cooler temperatures in the morning that I love. What did we do this week? Amanda and Serra each had their first week of classes! So far it sounds like the semester is going to be good. Amanda is trying to confirm that the audioelectronics class she signed up for will count for credit and Serra is ready to get things moving with her full slate of classes and labs. Hopefully that will happen after the long holiday. Amanda ran off to Long Island for some best friend...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Yes, I know, I am early today. I woke up at the time I usually get up during the week and couldn't go back to sleep. Might as well get out of bed and use the hours. The sun is just coming up to join me. What did we do this week? Amanda has enjoyed a week of rest before jumping into classes next week. Lots of sleep, hanging out with friends, and going to movies have kept her occupied. Her traditional grad classes start tomorrow. Serra and I did a thing this week. We got her moved into college! The staff was amazed at her packing job when we pulled up and unloaded. They...
