I've been sleeping in since I got back from Seattle, but this morning I finally got up before 6. It's nice and cool too, and not too humid. On Wednesday, we had bunches of rain, so the Captain is in a good mood, although we are still having lots of giant grasshoppers eat a lot of our plants.

Work is going pretty well. My boss has given notice and will leave at the end of next week. The Board has not taken any action yet, that I know of, to find a replacement. I am extending my hours for the foreseeable future.

Ray and I went swimming yesterday, the last day this year for Legion Pool. The day before we played racquetball for the first time in a while.

On Tuesday, he had a colonoscopy. Everything is fine; he can wait 5 years for the next one. I also went to the doctor for my physical. I have a prescription for cholesterol meds. He and I talked some about lifestyle and he said it sounded pretty good and it's mostly genetics. Neither of my parents takes cholesterol meds...and they eat lots of eggs, meat and cheese! But he said at my age, I had already developed plaques and in addition to heart attack and stroke, they can contribute to dementia. So I guess I'll start taking it. Because my last 3 Pap smears were normal, I didn't have that done this year. But I do have a mammogram scheduled.

Classes at UGA start Monday and Ray is gearing up. We will try to play racquetball several afternoons a week--it is too dark in the mornings for much of a walk, if I am going to be at my office at 8 every morning. Alison said I didn't need to come in that early on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, but I can get more done when there isn't anyone else around. Yesterday I was there at 3:30 when kids came home from school and turned on the TV (loud). I pretty much couldn't think at all then.

One of our residents had to move out because her husband got custody of the kids--he had a lawyer and she didn't. Another one is getting mental health treatment all day every day, while her husband tries to take care of the kids and earn some money driving a taxi.
