Week 37

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  We've been so happy with the weather the past several days.  The beginning of last week was still too hot but then a huge shift to more of a fall feel and even rain!  We'll take!

Here are last week's pictures:

Day 255- Monday, 9/12/22

Aww--found this note on my computer screen this morning.  Frank, our fellow for the past year, from Mali headed back to his home country after Friday since his fellowship has ended.  We had a great time teaching him all the ins and outs of our lab and research work.  He'll be missed!  Thankfully our media coordinator got a good picture of us with him Friday before he left.  Best wishes for his future endeavors.

Day 256- Tuesday, 9/13/22

We are at least seeing more cloud cover this week which has helped shade the sun a bit but it's still pretty warm out.  The air-quality has improved too thanks to a bit of breeze today.  I love seeing that pretty blue sky again.

Day 257- Wednesday, 9/14/22

There was a big wind storm cooling things down over night so now our pool is littered with fall leaves but to be honest I think it's kind of pretty. It's for sure much cooler out and even the cat feels it or he would have decided after servals weeks of nothing to become a lap cat again.  As soon as I got home from work and sat down he plopped right up and started making biscuits while soaking up my body heat.  Now if he's just stop shedding.

Day 258- Thursday, 9/15/22

I was hoping to attend this work event in person but had to join by zoom after getting John to and from PT.  Still, it's nice to have a remote option.  Later upstairs the setting sun caught my eye out the window.  It's been nice with the lower temps and smokeless skies to be able to open our windows again letting in some nice fresh, cool air to circulate through the house.

Day 259- Friday, 9/16/22

TGIF!  I was so glad it was also cool enough for me to enjoy the healing garden at Mercy while waiting on John's Cardio rehab class to end.  Love the fountain and the little fall leaf.  This week was our first week with 5 straight days of PT.  It's a lot, but worth it, and I'm sure it will get easier as it becomes more a part of our routine and the new normal.  Somedays navigating the traffic is the worst part and of course Fridays are always bad traffic days heading in and out of the city.

Day 260- Saturday, 9/17/22

There was no real time to get errands or chores done during the week adding the new PT schedule in so today was the day to get that stuff done especially since it might rain tomorrow.  What--RAIN?!  It's been way too long and I can't wait.

Day 261- Sunday, 9/18/22

Yes!  It really happened.  We finally got some rain and it most certainly feels more like fall now.  Next is looking to be pretty promising too.  Yay!

That's all for now.  I'm looking forward to more fall vibes.  See you next week as we start to wrap up anther month.
