The Aerie

Facebook Summer

I've been spending my blogging-time playing with Facebook, which for some reason has not yet been added to the prohibited list on the firewall at work. When I need to distract myself from productive work, Facebook is there.

Meanwhile it only took half the summer, but we finally got our summer schedule figured out. In order to save money (for next year's double-college) we're taking two extended weekends, and the resulting series of four-day work-weeks will hopefully help me retain my sanity at work.

Our first trip, next weekend is to the Black Hills. Now, I've been to the Black Hills several times and didn't think much of it. On the other hand, this visit ought to take place in daylight for the first time, so presumably it will be more interesting...

In August, coincidentally for my birthday, we'll travel to Iowa to visit my birthmother's new home. She moved to Iowa to be closer to her daughter, my half-sister, but mostly just to get away from her Tennessee trailer court, which has become a bit of a barrio.

And then we'll be mostly done with summer! It will be State Fair time, and then it will be time for the kids to go back to school. And then the @#%*! Republicans will be coming to town for their convention, and I'll probably end up getting arrested in a protest...

Meanwhile work is getting crazy intense, so if the fit is going to hit the shan that will probably be when it happens. But if I can make it through September then I will be in pretty good shape.
