Life Lately

The weeks just keep flying by us so quickly. I have been working on trying to figure out my schedule now that I am not homeschooling...that has truly been an adjustment. I have been homeschooling for nearly 20 years now, and that has truly been my life. It is difficult to figure my new schedule out now. I am getting there though, slowly but surely.

Here is what has been happening around here lately:

...Jar has been working on a drawing for a friend at work


...September calendar has been turned over to October


...I made gluten free chocolate chip cookies




...books from the Library


...greens for juicing


...taking some early fall photos












...some other books from the Library


...Jar trying on some jackets at Ross



he ended up buying this one

...Michael grabbed a few photos for me in Salem

 

  
...I made a couple of collages of the fall photos



 Other happenings around here lately:
  • I started watching Riverdale on Netflix (I don't have time to watch much though, so it will take me a while to get through)
Riverdale  I like that they made the show dark.  It reminds me of The Secret Circle (another CW show).

  • We had a fire at our fire pit
  • Michael and I watched Treasure Quest and Last Man Standing
  • Michael changed power steering pump on the Malibu
  • Jar got food poisoning 
  • I revamped my schedule
  • Michael went to HOA meeting
  • Cam went to YAM (Jar worked)
  • Jar got called into work on Sunday
  • Cam went with college guys to lunch and to see Venom

  • Cam went to Red Robin with Jacob Olson
  • Michael and I watched a few episodes of Criminal Minds (it had been a while)
  • Jar wrote a 2,500 word paper in a couple days
  • We cut Lily's hair
  • Jar got his saving account and credit card set up finally
  • We got yard clean-up done
  • We put grill and hoses away
