How was your summer?

[silver gurl]

Did you have a good summer? Go to exciting places? Or are you excited that it is over, fall is coming the kiddos are back in school.

I made this thread for Aphro

Summer lasts about 8 months here so I'm not out of the woods yet.

For a couple of the worst months I worked almost exclusively nights, was just much nicer because it's barely over a hundred degrees at night. The last month or 6 weeks I've been doing work for an entire smorgasborg of different outfits, and since some of these are particular assignment specific that are time specific I find myself working days a lot more than I want.

I enjoyed a lot more time with my Daughter which was fulfilling. We found a lot of indoor things to do. Her favorite was the simplest and cheapest- random trips on the lightrail.

Aw! Somebody loves me!

Summer was TOO FAST!

I demand a do-over.

 

[Rightguide]

Spent some time in Idaho and Wyoming this summer. Looking forward to a four day snowmobile trip into Yellowstone this Winter.

Good and bad.

Good because I'm cashing out and I've come to grips with the reality that what I wanted isn't here and it's time to move on to a new chapter in life.

It's been rad but from the fires to the dumpster fire in Sacramento I'm fed up with California and it's shit.

Bad because the fire really shit on the local area/economy/housing market on top of lost sales/products without burning my shit down so I could just walk away with "a check in hand" so I might be stuck with some property that's not doing much for me but generating some extra bills for a while....fuck.

Asshole sure, lots of socialist degenerates think so ....but when did I become miserable?

Tale of Two or Three Summers

It was the best of times:

• A grandson who graduated from college summa cum laude and on his way to grad school.
• Getting to hold my newest great-granddaughter, just two months old.
• I am alive and in good health.

It was the worst of times:

• Another grandson who died from a drug overdose after several years of excess.

It was a neutral time:

• Started and ended a one month FWB affair.
• A replacement of my house air-conditioning.

Are you heading north after you sell the homestead?

 

[raindancer]

Summer has been terribly hot, humid, with daily thunderstorms. I don't get summers off like other teachers so I worked. And, I never had a chance to travel. Hopefully, Autumn will be better.

idaho? well, that's hardly surprising.

I figure that I made a few iggy lists this month. Not much of an aspiration, I know, but an event nonetheless.


I got my new work assignment last month and I really like it.


Too fucking much rain, entirely.


This, too, shall pass . . . .

 

[Adre]

Hot and humid as always. The best season is almost upon us however. 4 months of glorious weather and most of the tourists gone home.

 

[Luk]

Pretty fucking good. Hit my stride professionally and personally. Shed a few pounds I gained last summer and feeling good. My neuropathy still sucks ass and I'm due for another round of decompression therapy for my lower back but both are now manageable. We attended the wedding of my nephew in a beautiful ceremony atop a fantastic hotel in Newport Beach and made a great getaway weekend out of it.

Life is fucking good.

What is that supposed to mean?

that it's the whitest place on the planet, vettey.

Yea....deff north, but not as far as I have fantasized about for so long.

As much as I would love to get up to AK I'll be heading to MN.

Family and the responsibilities of maintaining a good one have gotten more "real" for me recently while staying with them during the fire evacuations. Lots of births in recent years, lots of elders falling apart and I'm needed there to help.

I'll just buy and build myself a nice "summer" car as a consolation prize.

new babies and deteriorating elderly people? sounds like they are going to need some of that socialist government assistance.

 

[Cat Malojan]

Too fucking hot. Glad it's over.

Fucking idiot. Probably not more than a handful of people. Probably more racism in a city block of Southwest Chicago than the whole state of Idaho. People there are for the most part conservative. They don't like liberals or commies and that dislike isn't diminished or exacerbated by skin color either.

 

[KeithD]

Well, August was busy--bouncing from New England to the Rockies and then to the Poconos. Looking forward to a more quiet September.

Mixed bag. Seasons going through life always are, but this one hit different. For me, the summer's not over yet until I see those leaves turn yeller and drop on the pavement, but there's two points that defined this year's shebang.

- Death took a good friend of mine I used to work with. He was in the same field as myself, came up through similar struggle and pretty much achieved everything I'd wanted for myself but didn't get. We were brothers distanced by different cities and a few years, but we clicked and we never had to yap about the things that we already understood. Left behind a wife and two kids. Still processing his passing, in bits and pieces. He's made me more aware of how I want to spend my time doing things now and his spirit has gotten me through some deep grind time I've had to shoulder through. He's reminding me on a daily basis that boredom is a choice and I need more quality paints in my lifebook instead of allowing disposable dreck to color my pages. That's what I'm doing.

- Met Saint Peter and took him & his crew to my fave spot. Literally, I've had some good sex with fine women and have eaten some tasty chow, but this was the highlight of the summer for me. We had a good rag chew over many things, especially alla you mooks. That was fresh.

 

[MonaLittle]

Mine was great.

I Did some traveling. Played in Michigan. Went to a few weddings. Climbed a few Mountsins.

Can’t wait for fall/winter. My fav time of the year.

LOL....and why would we need that?
