Busy Times
Jun. 30th, 2015 09:31 amDown to the wire here with Mom's retirement. It's her last day today. I've got in with her yesterday and today in the mornings to help clean out her office and computer. I'm picking her up one final time tonight.
She's finally excited for it, but I think it's still a bit bittersweet. She'll miss her co-workers I'm sure. I don't doubt she'll keep in contact with many of them.
This weekend was hell for us here in Boise. We've been having an abnormally hot June. Normally our hot month is July. Oddly everything this year has been moved up a month weather wise. Saturday had a high of 105F, and Sunday got all the way up to 110F. We don't have central air conditioning either, so it's been interesting. We normally do okay with the cooler diy thing, but when it doesn't cool all the way off at night on the hotter days it just stays hot all day.
Luckily my basement bedroom is a bit cooler overall than the rest of the house. We've had dinner in here a few nights, and always cool down in the evenings too. I'm going to have to rearrange my bedroom to make it more like a recreation room so it'll be more comfortable for us down here when we want to hang out in the cooler part of the house.
Not much else is going on. I've got a few things to update on my computer today, then I'm going back this afternoon to help Mom out again. More on this later.
Hope you all are staying cooler than I am!
