Back to the Grind

Okay…it’s about this time that I am really missing Priest Lake. It has been unbearably hot the last few days. As of right now (9:44am) it is 92° and 31% humidity. Looks like it’s going to be another hot one.

My computer is still down and out, so I am having to update my blog using other peoples computers, so it’s not going to be that often that it is updated, but I’ll do my best.

We had an eventful 3-day weekend. I worked Saturday (as usual), we had 3 weddings so I was out and about for about 13 hours (7:15 am - 8:30pm). Sunday was Brandon’s birthday and we had a party for him and Drew at the in-law’s house. Brandon did not feel good, Drew was playing video games with his cousin, which left me by myself to have to play nice with my brother-in-law and his wife. Monday started out pretty slow, we all slept in, recovering from the over indulgence in food from Sunday. We had planned to go out to breakfast, but that never happened. At about 4:30pm or so, I was sitting at Brandon’s computer in the kitchen, Brandon was watching television and Drew was upstairs playing video games in our bedroom. I heard what I thought was a siren on the T.V. and asked Brandon what he was watching. About that time, Drew came bounding down the stairs saying that there were fire engines parked outside. Well, long story short, our building was on fire. The townhouse unit at the opposite end of our building was on fire. There dryer, apparently, had an issue, the sprinkler system did its job, and by the time the fire department got there the fire was all but out. However, the amount of black, stinky smoke was immense. It has taken 2 days to get that smell out of my nose.

Anyway, all is back to normal, and it’s good to be back at work.
