Howdy y'all!  Today is my mom's birthday! We had tamales for her birthday dinner, and banana pudding for desert!

Hey, all!   I'm a mess, physically and mentally, but my three new family room windows are in. They are big and beautiful, but I now have room for a sectional under them. Before, the older windows went almost to the floor. 

It poured rain but my son and I didn't care. It made it not so hot as yesterday. Still a lot of finishing work to do, but the important part is done. Those windows sat in my garage since the summer I tore my shoulder apart. Hope you all are well... I need rest... lots of rest... still have to submit my third anthology submission, but my eyes are soooo tired. 

Oh wow I didn't know it would be so much work! No wonder you're not feeling well

I'm glad you like the new set up and as you said now you can rest and hopefully the physical rest will helps with the mentally part too.

Try not to put too much pressure on yourself about your writing. I know how much it means to you but anthology or not your readers will be there to enjoy it whenever you are ready  Now put your feet up and rest

Hey, Terry!  Been missing you here on the site.

Hi Page,  I have missed you also.  I hope I didn't miss any funny Max stories. How are you and your boys doing?

Hey Gary It sure sounds like a lot of hard work to me. I hope you feel much better after you rest.  I am looking forward to the anthology this year.

Hi Drew,  Wish your mom a Happy Birthday from me.  (I envy you.  I wish I got to eat tamales for my birthday, or any day!)  Been missing you and all your bombs!  Hope you have been doing OK while I was absent.

@Drew Espinosa Happy Birthday, to your wonderful mother, Drewbear!

We're doing well, thanks. No new stories to tell, but I'll share if anything comes up.

Hey everybody, it’s the first time I’ve been able to check in here all week without the caching errors.  
 

Hope everyone is having a great week.  Happy to hear your vacation went so well @raven1

@Page Scrawler has Max officially started school.  All my nieces & nephews started the last couple of weeks.  
 

My nephew’s school network got infected with ransom ware and apparently they no longer use physical books or pens and paper for anything.  They weren’t able to do anything in any of their classes.  He decided to take up choir and they weren’t doing anything in there either.  I guess their voices got hacked

Nope. Not until September 6th, but he's really excited about it.

Hi guys

I'm beat. 25°C but feel like 30 with almost 60% of humidity. I've eaten so much dust tidying great-aunt place ugh. Found out she hasn't been using her washing machine for months? Years? Cause she couldn't open it? Didn't remember how it use it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also I've dug out nearly 20 purses branded Lancaster or Longchamp and all new or barely used.  She told me to sell them so we'll go to the restaurant with the money

Hope you are all doing good

Hey, Clo!  I can't imagine the state of your great-aunt's house.

Yeah... there's no nice way to put it but where she walks around it's okay but like under the table there's lot of dust and things she's accumulated or didn't throw away.

Over the last 10 years she went through very rough paths (losing many siblings, depressions, suicide attempt, 2 stay in a psychiatric unit...). I feel bad cause I didn't dare saying anything before but she wouldn't have been open to it anyway plus I had to deal with my mom's cancer then covid. And I would go see her for an hour once a week at best. Now she's doing fine but having Parkinson there's things like cleaning she can't do anymore and things she doesn't know how/dare to use anymore. 

That's why I'm taking the week to help her, giving her a good fresh start. I say a week cause we're doing it only on the afternoon, taking the time to make it fun too (like when we took a look at some old pictures) sonthat it's not too hard.

That looks so delicious.  I’d probably eat it mixed with the rice.  So good.  I’m hungry now.
