Wow, I can't believe that it has been over a month since I have written anything! I guess things have been a little busy for me. We "went live" on a new computer system at work in early August. I am coordinating the "go live" support for three buildings in east county. It has been really busy and I've worked lots of hours. But for the most part, it has been satisfying. And I hope that now things will settle down...
My mom and dad left for Hawaii on Friday morning. The house feels so empty now. I miss their "bantering" with each other. And I miss having dinner with them after work every night. And I miss being able to spend time with them. Ever since Jake and I split up, I have gotten used to my solitude. I enjoyed my time alone - or at least with my doggies. Now I have to get used to it again.
Brewing beer has been the 'to do' of the day. Gary has been happily puttering around, adding hops and malt to the concoction that is boiling in a BIG pot on the turkey fryer. He is on his second batch - a Chocolate Hazelnut Porter. The first batch was Nut Brown Ale. Sorry ladies and gents, he's mine! I made dog biscuts out of the used grains (after steeping in boiling water). Oh, and I made bread. (not out of the spent grains - although some folks do add it to their homemade bread... yccchh...) Kind of a lazy, enjoyable Labor Day... one of the last of the dog days of summer...
