ok, this week has been one wild ride. virus issues forced me and my coworkers to work through the night monday until tuesday (after having put in a full day monday). finally starting to recover around here a little bit. looking forward to a nice long holiday weekend, starting very soon. me and my crew are doing the st. fair tomorrow, then have labor day to relax until the schedules kick back into full force. school of course starts tuesday, which means i won't be the only early riser in the house anymore.
my fall softball league has started up. actually 3 weeks ago. we are 4-2 which is better than the summer league team ever was. weather finally starting to change a little. still no rain, but at least it's not 90 and humid every day now. feeling a little bit fall-ish out there.
that's probably gonna do it for august...more next month!

wow, august is almost over. i'd better get another post or two in here. we have been enduring an incredibly long bout of hot, humid weather. finally this morning, the humidity has left, and it feels quite nice outside. could still use some more rain though, it's still very dry. officially giving up on trying to keep my new yard green for this year. i inherited it less than 100% healthy.
work has been crazy with this stupid blaster virus stuff. whoever is responsible for this (my theory: disgruntled microsoft employee?) should be hunted down and beaten.
the mn state fair starts today which could only mean that summer is winding down. hope to get out there next week sometime.
that's a wrap for now...

ok, back to live action. i have been consumed with the process of moving these last few weeks and can now say it is officially complete. all in all, there were very few snafu's, and nothing lost or broken (that i am aware of). the household is functioning at a low but acceptable level. all furniture is in place, food is being stored, communication devices functioning, and clothing accessible. scattered boxes remain strewn about various rooms and a half a garage still contains items waiting to be deployed but we are moved! for the record, the new address is:

3056 stinson court
new brighton, mn 55112

i was happy to be able to take several days off of work to help in the transition. i was starting to feel like i need to come back to work to rest. however, upon returining to work, i am having second thoughts on that. nevertheless, this huge step is behind us and we are exited to be in our new home.
more to come...
