I am going to try and give myself a break from too much work. I will likely do a little, but I am going to try to relax.
I will work on my novel a little at least (Iām saying this for accountability)
Some errands
maybe getting together with a friend
super exciting over hereā¦

Lots and lots of college football. But, more importantly we are watching our 9 month old grandson for his first night away from his mom and dad.

I think OK State has a home game but campus didnāt seem as nutty as last weekend - last weekend there was a home game.
That sounds fun! I wonder if you will have to take turns holding Baby all night? Please provide a report.
This has been a rough week, but we received good news in the last 24 hrs. My daughter (senior in high school) was accepted to her college of choice and she auditioned for/ was awarded an understudy role (pretty sure itās not a regular role) in the high school musical. My daughter has never auditioned like this (singing & dancing) before. Post-Covid, she had severe social anxiety & had an IEP because she cried constantly at school. She has come a long way!
This has been a tough/tiring week, so my plan is to exercise and relax and work a little because I have to make my billable hour requirement. I wrote a note to myself today because I heard myself say, āI canāt stand it.ā In fact, I can stand it.
Unfortunately, flying home after a wonderful eight days In Montana/Yellowstone/Tetons/Jackson.

Itās our 9th wedding anniversary. Nothing too crazy planned, thereās some new outdoor floating spa we are going to hang out at for a few hours then go for dinner.
Aside from that we have an end of summer neighborhood potluck thing on Sunday.
Should be a nice, social weekend which is much needed after several weeks of relative chaos in August.

Iām sorry you have had a tough week.
I like your sign. Iāve had people make signs for me when they say things that are useful for me - I had a cousin write āwe were built for hard thingsā after she said that and it resonated. I keep the pile of signs in a folder that is with me all the time.

Happy anniversary!
I wrote myself another nice note this morning for some fresh affirmation. lol And I ran/hiked around my lake at 6:30 am (!) with my friend. Itās very hot here, so we had to go early.
I saw a TikTok yesterday evening of affirmations. Mass-produced affirmations seem kind of cool, but Iām going to try small-batch, artisanal affirmations written by me. I suppose recycled affirmations are a good idea, for efficiency. So I will recycle affirmations to myself. Iām not picky. 
I plan to make pumpkin cookies later today so I can send them to my son at college. This morning, my younger kids are going to the theater for their work there, and they are doing a sleepover tonight. This is a fun day.
Thanks!
Flew back to Sao Miguel today. Would have loved to have spent more time on Sao Jorge, it was magical! Pico was beautiful! Had the local āVulcanicā wine. Saw a bullfight in the street last night. There were 4 bulls they let out at different times and the locals would āfightā the bull. Basically taunting it with umbrellas and jumping up the wall when the bull got too close. Drove a stick shift for the first time in a gazillion years. It does come back, but the roads are incredibly steep and windy and narrow. You rarely get out of 3rd. So glad itās not my clutch! Will spend the next week exploring Sao Miguel. I already want to come back! The Azores are amazing!!
