The last 2 & 1/2 weeks...

Again, I'm not keeping up on a daily basis with my blog so that I will remember what I have done with my day-to-day life.  Oh, well.

Mark and I went to an office BBQ on July 27 at a nice park near here that Mark now takes the dogs to so they can go swimming.  It's got a nice beach area where they can easily get into the lake.  Brenna runs and jumps in; Ty still wades.  He hasn't quite figured out the whole water thing yet.

On the 28th we went to the Mushroom Festival.  It was OK, but not something we'd go to again.  Just one of the many Olympia festivals that as New Olympians we needed to attend.  I think we played golf the next day.  The weekend weather lately has been really nice, so I'm pretty sure we would have gone and played golf.

Our friend, Jessi, from Wenatchee came over and spent two nights with us.  She and Mark had diversity training out at Nisqually Wildlife Refuge.  We grilled, sat outside and enjoyed some spirits together.  We had a good time.

I went to my cancer support group again.  It was a really good meeting with some new folks there.  Jules and I went out for dinner, spirits and lots of gabbing afterward, as usual.

Mark and I went to the Thurston County Fair on Saturday and had a really good time.  It was really hot, so there were very few people there.  But we got to see lots of bunnies, chickens, goats, cows, sheep, llamas, and horses.  We watched some equestrian events, and ate Fair food.  We played golf on Sunday.  Again, it was really hot, so no one was on the course, which was really nice.

I had two gum grafts on Monday and felt ok that day, but the next day was yukky.  The antibiotic I was taking was making me sick, so the doctor changed it.  I feel much better today.  I slept in the guest room last night because I didn't want to wake Mark up, and even though I've slept in there a few other times, last night was the first night I noticed that the ceiling is covered in glow-in-the-dark 'stars'.  It looks like the Milky Way in the guest room.  It is really amazing!  I had a hard time going to sleep because I just loved staring at the ceiling and feeling like I was sleeping outside.  It kind of makes me want to sleep in there all the time.  We may have to make that our regular bedroom...

I spent today getting some work done in my office, finally.  Fortunately, I have nothing on my calendar for the next two days, so I am hoping to get more work done in here.

It seems like there were more things/items/stuff I wanted to remember, but, of course, since I didn't do this on a daily basis, I have forgotten what it was.  I need to be better about keeping myself up-to-date.

And that's it for now.
