This past weekend brought with it chaos. The hot and humid weather made it unbearable to be outside. Our pool’s water temperature got as high as 90 degrees. Definitely some missed opportunities to work out in the air conditioning at the gym. With the heat and humidity came plenty of showers and thunderstorms, and theyContinue reading “The Most Chaotic Night!”

Storms roll in as Vacation winds down!
I wrapped up my last full day of vacation on Sunday with a trip to Cutie’s Coffee. That’s exactly what this week off missed. Last Fall, I was down there twice during the week off.

The first week off of 2026 is going by quickly. I’ve visited Toastmasters clubs, gone swimming, and went to the gym. Compared to my Fall 2025 vacation, it feels a little bit lacking.

We have finally reached the end of the month, and that calls for celebration.
