Fisherman's Village - Marina Del ReyThis Saturday we have a scheduled power outage that will last all day long. It’s too warm to be in the house without AC so after the celebration of life we will be attending that morning for a dear friend who passed away in April, we will grab the pup and head to Fisherman’s Village in Marina Del Rey. It’s been a really long time since I’ve visited. Ten plus years, maybe more. It will be a nice break from the routine. 

Work is going okay but we have an ant problem in the office. My space isn’t that bad but they can’t spray because of sensitivities and traps are not doing it. Every once in awhile one crawls up my leg. Ewwwww.

Last Sunday student ministry had a paint war. It’s exactly what it sounds like. Students running at each other, and ME with handfuls of paint powder. I was covered and it is now three days later and my neck is still green. All the other colors came off easily but the green is holding. I look like She Hulk. It was so much fun though.

In case you haven’t noticed, I pulled the trigger on going ad free so no more disgusting ads to wade through when you visit me here! For $2 a month I should have done it sooner.

The RIP Challenge is coming. It’s going to be on Twitter and Instagram only. I am no way near getting my list together. I TANKED with my summer list. Chunkster reading got in my way. But, it’s one of my fave events so I will spend some time this weekend coming up with something.

I am going to end this here. As you can tell my brain is zipping around into too many directions. I hope you have a fabulous Wednesday. Friday will be here soon.

Still reading Irving’s The Last Chairlift. My review of Verity posted yesterday. Stop by to check it out.

The neighborhood.Hello, all. I am in the office today so I am missing my neighborhood walk with the pup. Our street repaving project is done. The Pup is glad. One truck in particular made the entire house shake. She was not having it. Hopefully she can catch up on her naps today.

My daughter hasn’t shared too many pics of her new pad since she is still unpacking, but what I’ve seen looks great. Classes begin next week.

After today, I will probably be wiped out again after my two days of in-person work. I swear! I have no stamina now. I’m  like a delicate flower that wilts at the first sign of heat. That’s ok though. I have nothing planned for tonight.

It’s been very warm here. Hovering between 102-106 with low humidity. We are normally quite dry but last week we had 45% humidity which is a lot for California. Not one drop of rain in so long. Everything is dead. LA County was told to stop watering for the entire month of September. Really puts us at risk for brush fires.

Slowly, I’ve been puttering around in the kitchen again. I do enjoy cooking but hate the shopping. Plus, there’s only two of us now. But we made steaks the other day and one night I made a meat loaf. Bye Bye vegetarian diet. Ever since the doc told me to lay off plant based anything (kidney stones) eating has been interesting. My body doesn’t know what it’s getting half the time.

No big weekend plans. Going to breakfast with friends on Saturday morning and then Sunday, my normal volunteer gig. Have a great rest of the week!
