August!

I really can't believe it's August already. Where is the summer going? But this means we are just that much closer to September, which is my absolute favorite time of the year.

We are gearing up for surgery week and I've realized we have so much to do as we are leaving for the Cape next week and I will not be able to do much for several days post-op (nothing like realizing that at the last minute, huh?) So yesterday was a busy day in the S household as we got some last minute house projects done in anticipation of the house being painted by the time we return from vaca (pretty please...).

Our A/C is still out from the flood (now day 10), and the heat really started to get to me this weekend, even though we got out to go sailing and to the pool. I guess because we spent last weekend in the ultracool basement and the week at work. The part that was ordered last week may be installed today and this may or may not fix the problem. Small victory is that I'm not currently medicated on anything that gives me hot flashes or I'd probably be jumping off the roof (yes, I was up there yesterday). I just realized that if it's not fixed by Wednesday, I'll probably need to stay in a hotel for a few days as sitting in a hot house after a fairly major surgery is probably not a great idea for my body or my psyche.

I just know this month is gonna fly by, but I hope it's all good. Successful surgery, fun vacation, and my design classes begin as soon as we get back. :)
