We have had the hottest driest summer on record here. Yesterday it rained almost all day and I swear you could almost hear the trees weeping for joy. I know we all wanted to be out in it. It is funny how a gray day can be so enjoyable when you haven't had one in such along time. Truth be told though I love rainy days anyway. They are a perfect time to curl up with a book or sewing and just slow down.

I went yesterday afternoon and paid my FIL's bills and balanced his check book. Bless his heart, he is still hanging in there although I don't know how. He is not in pain but is in and out of consciousness.

Most of the day I spent just doodling around. I spent some time trying to get a new template up for my blog and didn't find anything that I liked that actually worked so I gave that up. I messed around looking at new patterns I "needed" and hence the Wish List that is going up today and I sewed some. Now that the weather is getting cooler, I can get back to my afghan (it was just too hot to have that big thing laying in my lap). I am running out of September to complete my September goals on the Needle and Thread board too. This morning, I have to get busy and pay some bills since today's date just really dawned on me. I don't know where this month has gone! I work today but am off tomorrow. Unfortunately, tomorrow is the TKD tournament here so I have to take my MIL to see the guys and she wants to go shopping as well so my day will be gone in a poof! After that, it is 5 days in a row again. *sigh* How come days at work drag on forever and days off fly by?
