July 24, 2018: Mojitos

Tuesday.  More bad weather at the Kentucky office today.  They seem to have the worst weather ever.  They’ve had more outages this year than I have ever seen anywhere.

Busy morning full of phone calls.  I had a lot of my own and with Kentucky have weather issues, I am manning all of the helpdesk calls today, too.

This evening, Nick came over for mojitos in the Atrium.  My mojitos are starting to be famous.

July 23, 2018: Pillow Stacking

Monday.  This is a super busy week, after having had the Newcombs visiting last week.  So I am pretty heads down trying to catch up.  And to prepare for Gene’s departure.  He just put in his notice at the end of last week, so I have tons and tons to do to prepare for that, including hiring a replacement person!

The girls were having fun stacking pillows on their bed and being goofy.  So we captured a picture.  Luciana happily posed, Liesl, of course, dove for cover (or for the covers, to be literal.)

The girls are back in their bedroom tonight.  We didn’t let them keep the air mattress blown up in the living room.  That is just asking for trouble.

July 22, 2018: Another Misting Day

Sunday.  Another day enjoying out mist-cooled atrium.  This is great.

The kids decided to play video games today.  We did a “brunch” at the house ourselves.

With the misting fan running, we are really just hiding outside and hanging out.  That consumed pretty much our entire weekend, starting on Friday afternoon.  This is our new favourite thing.

This evening I finally got to the third season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which people keep telling me will get better.  The first two seasons are not al that good.  Maybe better than I remember them, but not great.  At season three it is supposed to improve.  And, in theory, I am told that the later series are some of the best in the Star Trek sagas.

July 21, 2018: The Summer of the Misting Fan Begins

The weekend is here, and we have more free time that we had planned on.  But we also now have a misting fan and we are able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air no matter how hot it is.  This is quite a novelty!

To celebrate having the new misting fan and being able to just hang out outside in the atrium, we have some staff coming over to spend the afternoon.  This is going to be the best place for meetings, ever.
