The first week of school was certainly much different than in previous years but we still received a lot of phone calls and questions. It’s just that this time much of the questions were technology based. I tried to be as helpful as possible. It was certainly quite interesting.
We’re in the triple digits right now and last night (Saturday night), we had thunderstorms. We even had rain this morning. Oh, this wild, summer weather. I hope it doesn’t last too long…
Thank goodness for Aleks Paunovic! Because of him, I have these lovely friends from different points in the world and we can sit down and video chat for HOURS on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. Our mutual adoration for him brought us together but our friendship binds us. I do adore these amazing women and I’m so glad we’re getting to know each other even better with these chats. My lovelies, it is possible to befriend amazing people from afar and become friends. And I am so grateful…
RUGBY
Well, Super Rugby Aotearoa ended this weekend. The Crusaders and Blues weren’t able to play their match because of Auckland’s lockdown and the Highlanders and Hurricanes played their match without the fans in the stands. I was bummed to not see the Crusaders play their last game but I was glad for the season they did have so I shall not complain too much…
BASEBALL
The A’s have been having a great season so far. They swept the Giants this weekend, which I won’t gloat about too much. It’s nice to see the A’s win, no matter who their opponent is.
I love being able to order sushi for take out. So spoiled, I know! It’s such a great way to try out different restaurants in the area and I’m always glad to try out sushi. The other night I ordered from Enishi Kitchen (meal pictured above) and it’s probably my favorite because the restaurant is basically around the corner and so arrives to me so fresh. Again, I know, I’m super spoiled.
I’m reading Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow. Yes, I was inspired to read it after watching the musical Hamilton. I need to read more. Rather, I need to actual finish the books I start to read. I think I’m going to finish this one…
So many birthdays in August in my family, as well as with my fellas! The pattern above shows four people with birthdays these past couple of weeks. It’s fun to see how many I remember. Simon saw my IG story wish him Happy Birthday and he might have liked my comment on his post? Charles replied to my tweet, which was so lovely of him. I love when the fellas respond! And yes, I know I’m lucky when they do…
