School's back in session and my kids are adorable. I love them. I want to scream sometimes when I'm dealing with them, but that's to be expected.
bb!hockey is back! My favorite bb!hockey is at camp with the Ducks, but I gotta tell you, if he wears that Yankees hat again this year (instead of the Mariners one(s) I gave him), I'm going to pick a new favorite.
27 years of marriage. Kraken/Canucks prospect game. Savannah Bananas. Opening night with us coming back from 0-3 to win in a shoot-out thanks to a natural hat trick. I love my boys.
Today is the booster club audit, tomorrow is dinner with ex-coworkers and goodbye to one of them as she's moving away (rude), and then I'm flying to Colorado for my goddaughter's wedding. After that it's a preseason Kraken game, a Kraken 5k, and thanks I'm already exhausted. Actually, after that I'm reflooring my entryway and my kitchen. So, you know. Why not?
My "start doing some exercise every day" has sort of fallen by the wayside because of physical and mental work-exhaustion, but hopefully I'll get back into it. I have been walking a lot because of school, though, so there's something at least.
Anyway, sorry for sucking at posting. I still love and adore you all. Stay strong in the hellscape.

It was a day yesterday.
To start with there had been really heavy, non-stop rain from the early hours. It was also our first craft fair in our town, one we'd been trying to get a spot at for ages. Then Murphy started showing signs of having cystitis again, and not being able to pee, which of course would be an emergency if he had a blockage.
With it being Saturday, our own vet was closed, so we had to get him an appointment at the out of hours vet, which would mean an expensive bill. He's got excellent insurance, but what happens at the out of hours is we'd have to pay, and the insurance would eventually reimburse, as opposed to our vet where they bill the insurance company directly. ( cut for length tldr, Murphy is on the mend )
Friday was nearly a day, too. We've said we'll take my MiL out at least once a fortnight, so picked her up on Friday and had a drive to Barnard Castle to get eggs from the honesty stall at the farm and get delicious bread from a bakery we like. All was going well until we stopped for a coffee, and my SiL phoned saying her electric had gone off so my MiL would have to stay at our house that night.
Obviously, she would have been welcome, but none of the furniture had been moved, she had none of her meds or oxygen generator, and it just seemed to make more sense to wait for a bit to see if things could be fixed before taking her to our house.
To cut a long and frustrating story short, they managed to get the meter sorted and the electricity was back on within an hour, but not before a lot of stress from everyone.
Thursday we'd gone to see Caught Stealing. It's a bit more violent than my usual tastes, but I can say, Austin Butler is a very beautiful man.
One good thing about yesterday, Strictly was back, let the Nikita admiring begin for another year.

Rosie is getting married tomorrow, so today was the last class for a fortnight. She was going on annual leave after our class finished, and was such a happy mood. So, while she was still evil!Rosie, she was being so while full of joy which was lovely to see. The class got her a signed card, which she seemed touched about, then she was off, checking out of work to do some last minute wedding prep.
I was also at the doctors this morning ( cut for medical stuff )
We did a craft fair on Saturday gone. Sadly, it wasn't the best attended, and we only made a profit of £35 after paying for the table. But, that was £35 more pounds than we'd had that morning, and stock was sold, which was great. Even better, the organiser offered us a regular spot at the makers market in our town. Funnily enough, that happens in the same hall we use for weight management class, on the third Saturday of each month. So, that's this Saturday coming, where hopefully, more people turn up and more stock will be sold. And if it's quiet, I've told James I'll sneak away and leave him to it and have an hour in the gym *g*
We also went to see the new Downton Abby film on Friday. The clientele amused me as the screen was full of ladies carrying in their glasses of wine, but they were all so excited, it made for a lovely atmosphere, especially as nearly every seat was full. ( cut for spoilers )
