A Selfie With Mom

Mom and I both thought it was a good idea to take a selfie of the two of us yesterday, so we did.

I texted our photo to a few people. I also posted it on Facebook, where there are currently 86 reactions to it!

All of my blog readers probably have already seen the picture, but I still want to share it here.

I love my mom! 💕

A Family Birthday

It snuck up on me, but today is nephew Josh's 24th birthday.

I remember holding him on the day he was born. I'm kind of in shock it was 24 years ago.

Happy Birthday, Josh, with love from your old Auntie!

QE II

Today is truly the end of an era.

Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the tender age of 96. She led quite a fascinating life.

And now Charles is King. It was a long time coming for him.

In other news, the NFL season starts tonight.... Where did the summer go?

Dad 636: He Got No Sleep

(Dad "writes" today! Excuses, excuses.... ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another very nice post-summer day. We use Labor Day as summer's end. According to the pros, we have some summer weather coming. And then comes Fall. We'll take it.

 

Don't feel too much like writing today. So I'm not going to.

 

The news just showed a judge calling a mistrial in a case and letting the criminal off. The reason: the man on trial complained of not having a pillow and blanket and got no sleep. I had a pillow and blanket but was up six to eight times last night for bathroom trips. I'm tired today as this happens nightly. Therefore, I will not be getting any more writing done.

 

Tune in next week when I'll feel like writing. That's it!

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

Renewing My Commission

My Notary Public commission expires toward the end of the month. I thought about not renewing it, but I decided it would be useful when I rejoin the workforce.  (Employers appreciate having a Notary on staff.)

On Friday I completed the online renewal application, paid the renewal fee, and printed off the paperwork I am required to mail to the State.

Today I made a couple stops here in town to get three signatures that I needed on my paperwork and to get sworn in. (Paraphrase of swearing in: I will uphold the Constitution and do my duty, so help me God!) Then I was off to the post office to mail the paperwork to the State. I even sent it certified receipt.

Now I just need to wait for my new certificate, and then I can order my new stamp!

National Days

When I clicked on the search bar of my computer just now, I learned that today is "National Hummingbird Day."

Who makes up these days?  Is anyone allowed to do it?

I just googled "national days" and found a site that lists a lot of these crazy days. I saw that in August there was a "National Toilet Paper Day."

Tomorrow is "National Pet Rock Day" as well as "Eat an Extra Dessert Day."

I like the extra dessert idea, but then I saw that the following day is "National Cellulite Day."

Happy September!

Busy day today.  Had a doctor appointment, ran a few other errands, visited Mom, went out to dinner with Dad and Lew, continued playing catch-up....

And now I want to wish my readers a blessed September!
