leggings in boxes

Lately I have an obsession with leggings. I love colorful leggings. I love patterned leggings. I love lacey leggings. I love alliteration.





We found a place. Deposit goes down today. Moving to commense shortly thereafter. This feels good, this feels necessary.


I thought a thought.
But the thought I thought wasn’t the thought I thought I thought.
If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn’t have thought so much.

Moving out, moving on.

Moving out come October. Not 'out' necessarily, as we are already out. We are really moving-new. Looking at some places here and there, Craigslisting like mad. It's all very exciting and anxiety provoking. Money is so annoying. We should really just try trading a paperclip for a house like that one guy.


Work is fun. I missed working here, the people, the patients. I think Kris and I are going to plan a Homecoming\Prom for the patients, with a Queen and King, complete with a photo station and apple cider. Everyday I go I get the best compliments, and some of the most blunt observations about myself from all of the patients, there is no filter, but I love them anyway.

Labor day weekend we went on a family-spree. First we visited Miles' mom and her friend Stan, spent the night, had breakfast. It was so nice to catch up with her and spend some time with her, as we live so far away. The next day we went to my Aunt's and had a day full of bbq. My cousins were there, along with their 5 dogs and the horse. It was a lot of fun, I wish it happened more often.
Picnic weekends.

Machete.

Meet Mama.

Last Monday we went boating on Lake Berryessa one more time for the season. It's amazing how we kept it up. We all skied, and relaxed, swam in the lake with pups, it was a really nice ending to summer.

Even the pups were relaxed.


This last weekend we did the Alzheimers Memory walk. It was amazing to see how many people showed up and turned out for such a cause. It was a nice 3 mile walk with friends down the Embarcadero with out of the norm beautifully warm weather. It just happened to be on 9\11, oddly enough. My facility raised something like $7,000 alone, and our company somewhere along the lines of $100,000! Really great, since a lot of our patients are affected by this disease.

As exciting as some of these things are, I think I am ready for the next month to be done, and for things to be back in place.
