Reflections on Summer Past

Summer vacation is over and the reality of a busy fall work season is staring me in the face, but I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on the good, the bad, and the boring of the past few months.

1.       Washington, D.C. is the new San Francisco.  Ok, that may be overstating things just a bit, but the D.C. weather this summer has been positively pleasant, not at all the typical hot-and-humid horror that makes me want to curl up into a ball on the sofa in my air conditioned family room.  No, not at all.

2.       I survived the Bay Bridge.  Really.  And I drove over that sucker 4 times in a 2-week period.  Screwed my courage to the sticking place, I did, just like Lady MacBeth told her husband to do…although it didn’t turn out so well for MacBeth, did it?  Anyway….

3.       Summer movies suck.  There, I said it.  I am officially over the summer movie season – but thank god the fall movie season is around the corner, making it safe for grown-ups to go back to the theatres again.  ‘Bout time.

4.       I didn’t lose the 50 pounds.  But then again, I never do….

5.       I didn’t gain the 20 pounds.  So, there is a little bit of good news….

6.       Looks like I’ll live another year.  At least, that’s according to my doctor who pronounced that I am in reasonably good health based on my annual physical.

7.       But I do have a lung CT tomorrow.  Just to be on the safe side, former smoker that I am.

8.       And I still have foot pain.  I think my hurting heel is something I’ll have to get used to.

9.       I’m getting a new bathroom!  I’m getting a new bathroom!  Isn’t that great?  It’s the little things in life…

10.   It’s almost Thanksgiving.  It’s my favorite holiday.  And it’s only 3 months away!!

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend.  We’ll be in touch soon.
