For some families I’m sure that could only be said in an ironic tone, but I’d like to stop and say with sincerity that I’ve got a lot to be thankful for. I’ve got a loving family who are all healthy. I’ve got a good job and it keeps improving (see the Azure training and certification that I got this summer and fall). Tammy’s moved up the totem pole at her work, too. She was tired of working the night shift and with the rise of COVID found herself full time and on the day shift. Now the supervisors are learning what a great teacher and resource she is. Despite having a bit of a health worry with that chest pain this summer (and still waiting to see the cardiologist—if I was actually dying I probably would have dropped dead before seeing them), I’ve picked my cycling back up and I’m back in shape again. Miranda and Ian are back at school and while we are still worried about what they might bring home, so far neither of their schools has reported an outbreak. Miranda is doing well as she always does and Ian seems to have learned a thing or two about being organized because he is really on top of his schoolwork this year. Murphy is super-relaxed these days. He helps me remember to stop and relax once in a while.
The weather has been fine this September and October. Nobody would mistake it for summer, but it’s been a relatively dry, warm and sunny fall. I had a Saturday ride yesterday and I didn’t have to layer up even through it was October 10th.
I think everybody is a little stir crazy, and that’s only going to get worse as the weather truly slides into winter. We’ve got our season’s ski pass already, so there is that to look forward to.
And pie. We have pie. 🥧
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
