Obviously I still haven&#8217;t gotten the kayak in the lake yet but we did get out for an hour of fishing on Thursday night. It was beautiful that night with a few lazy clouds reflecting an array of colors as the sun slowly sunk below the horizon.<\/li>\n<li>walking every night- I think I went out less than a dozen times<\/li>\n<li>writing a monthly blog, on schedule- Ha ha ha<\/li>\n<li>playing with my kids- it happened a few times<\/li>\n<li>keeping on top of the weeds in my yard- My lawn was lucky to be mowed<\/li>\n<li>Plant a garden- I had a volunteer zucchini show up. and lots of crab grass<\/li>\n<li>Write every day- didn&#8217;t happen every day but I&#8217;m guessing I added 5000 words to the sequel to Interview with a Dead Girl.<\/li>\n<li>My kids did get a week with their grandparents and I also had hopes of getting caught up on de cluttering my house while they were gone. I should know better. Every time the kids are gone, I get extra time at work. Sigh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What happened? Well, the last three weeks a co-worker has been out of town for a sick grand baby. I understand. I&#8217;d have done the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Take yesterday for example- we had an older dog in labor come in, she wasn&#8217;t pushing and the owner was hoping she was done. No. 5 pups to go. Gave her some fluids because she was dehydrated and some time. She didn&#8217;t re-start active labor. Therefore at 6 pm we started her cesarean. I left work at 8. &#8220;I tried to keep you under 40 hours this week.&#8221; I heard as the dog was waking up.<\/p>\n<p>I also came down with a summer cold last week. I didn&#8217;t feel awful. No runny nose, sneezing or coughing. Just a sore throat, enlarged lymph nodes, tonsils didn&#8217;t go up, throbbing headache when I bent over and a little fluid in my ears. I was in denial and wondering why I had no energy. By Thursday I was feeling better but the headache came back yesterday morning. It was gone by noon and so far no recurrences.<\/p>\n<p>My kids come back tomorrow. I feel like this summer has almost been a waste. If I hadn&#8217;t made any progress on the story it would have been a waste. I will not be disappointed at this summer even though my house is still a disaster. I guess I should go watch an episode of Hoarders to make me fell better.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side- the kids start school on Wednesday and I&#8217;ll have my Tuesdays free to do stuff. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll generate a to do list because when I do it gets derailed.<\/p>\n<p>Hope you all had a fantastic summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard this before&#8230; I had all these plans for this summer like: swimming &#8211; didn&#8217;t even dip a toe in a pool.&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/2018\/08\/11\/end-of-summer\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">End of Summer<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":227,"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220\/revisions\/227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lexy-price.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
