Hard to believe it’s September 1st. 2/3rd’s of the year is behind us with only 4 months or about 120 days to go until 2017. Over the next 4 months we have Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, no less than 4 birthdays (in our family) plus a whole bunch of school events, lots of sporting events, hunting a few times, taxes due (October 15th) and snow to deal with. Throw in the election, a bunch of work, 8 football games and some unknown things that will pop up, as they always do, and it’ll be a pretty busy 120 days. Kind of overwhelming if you think about it. All you can do is take it one day at a time.
So today I have a list of things to do before leaving tomorrow. It’s a combination of work and household chores from going to the bank to getting the kids haircuts. Lori was home late again. I was actually at the hospital for over 2 hours yesterday myself as I have a small lump on my left thumb and we couldn’t figure out what it was. After some free x-rays, I hung out until Dr. Viola (the hand specialist) was out of surgery, to have him take a look at it. Turns out it’s just a ganglion cyst which is just fluid that was pushed out of a joint from working out. I’ve had them on my foot before and had them drained but never on my thumb. He said we can leave it alone if it doesn’t bother me or have it cut out at the base. Surgery is free (one of our perks with Lori working at the clinic) but we’d have to pay for the anesthesiologist and the surgery center so looks like I’ll live with it. You can’t really even see it and it doesn’t bother me that much so as long as it’s nothing that’ll hurt me, no big. Good though that I had it checked out.
It’s 5:43 and everyone is still sleeping. Mojo had breakfast and is now taking his morning siesta as well. I need to be in Eagle by 8:30 so Lori will have to drop the boys this morning. That’s about it, have a great day and welcome to September, stay safe and God Bless.
