Week 38

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  Last week was the official start of Fall and luckily for us it actually felt like it.  We're now heating up again but just into the low 90's so not as bad as the 100's.  We'll take what we can get and hope that the cooling trend picks back up again soon. Other than the weather there's just a lot of the same--work for me and PT for John on a day in and day out.  At least we have a set schedule now and less dr. appointments so that makes things easier.

Take a look at last week's pictures:

Day 262- Monday, 9/19/22

I'm working hard this week to get through the last of 600+ goat samples before we start a project with Alaskan seals and then Texas mules.  I've got them spaced out and lined up in the queue.  Later we had fun with a summer thunderstorm that brought some good rain and impressive lightening.  Those don't happen too often for us so it was exciting to see and hear.

Day 263- Tuesday, 9/20/22

Yesterday was cardio and today is leg day.  This bike uses electrodes that help stimulate the weak muscles and he pedals to give them that extra contraction which will help make them stronger faster and improve the connection from the brain signals to the nerves in that area.  It's also a beautiful Indian Summer type of day out so I was inspired to put up a little fall decoration.

Day 264- Wednesday, 9/21/22

We had little time to make dinner tonight and things heated up again today so the quickest and coolest thing I had on hand that would still make a good meal was crispy chicken wraps,  At least they pulled together nicely and worked out great.  Then after, we were flipping channels and realized that the new season of Survivor started today.  I missed watching the last one with John so was happy we could watch this one together again and am excited the new season of a lot more of the network shows are finally happening.  It seems like forever ago when they all ended the last season.

Day 265- Thursday, 9/22/22

We needed to run a few errands today after PT and just so happened to be by BJ's at dinner time so we decided to eat out.  Both of us had just seen a commercial and hadn't been here is ages so it just felt right plus they dropped a s'mores pizookie that John wanted to try.  He's been working so hard the past couple weeks with 5 days of PT each week that is a lot for him and would be for anyone so it was a well deserved treat. 

Day 266- Friday, 9/23/22

Happy 24th Birthday to this guy!  I'm so glad he lives close enough that we can celebrate with him.  And of course Bella just had to steal some attention by plopping herself down to be in the picture.  She loves it when we open presents and she loves pictures because they usually mean treats.

Day 267- Saturday, 9/24/22

Some of the leaves in the park are starting to turn pretty fall colors.  That's always exciting to see.

Day 268- Sunday, 9/25/22

Homemade pizza for Sunday dinner was Tyler's choice and we hadn't made pizza in awhile so it was a great choice that turned out so yummy.  The best part is how we all worked together making this meal adding their own favorite toppings.

That wraps up another week.  Check back next week for more of our day to day life as empty nesters.  We're missing those 2 other boys of ours and can't wait to see them in a couple months for fall break.
