Where In The World Is Sum1?

A MONTH At Home In Central Illinois? Lordie, Please Help Me!

Date: MONTH of July 10, 2019


Locale: Central Illinois


         This month I will be home.  All Month!  Oh wait, I will be in Schaumburg at least part of the week July 15^th.  Please don't get the impression I hate being home, far from it!  It's just that I'm used to teaching, meeting new people and seeing new sights.  Sometimes, 'revisiting' new sites.  So being home for a month in the middle of the summer will be different.  And believe it or not, I'm actually taking a week's vacation too! No idea where we'll go, will have to wait and see.  Might end up being a 'Staycation'.

         Monday I will be in Schaumburg for a few days.  We just obtained a new piece of test equipment that none of us know much about.  We have a class being delivered by field techs, and I've been asked to attend.  Yep, the people who are actually in the field working with the customers we train are going to train some of us on this device.  Ironic, isn't it?

         It's not all bad here at home though.  I will work on the weeds that are threatening to overtakehave overtaken the front and back yards.  We have ground ivy in the back, and it's tough to get rid of.  I have a pretty powerful poison to use on it, but we have two dogs, that use the yard daily.  In the front, it's wild African Violets that are growing, well, like weeds!  There's also a couple of things I've been wanting to get done around the house, not to mention working on course curriculum and hands-on activities for a couple of courses.  So it's not like I'll be sitting around doing nothing.

In Closing

         My next trip will be to Torrance California the week of August 5^th, assuming my schedule doesn't change, and it shouldn't since the class is less than a month away.  I'm hoping to get together with NaNoNette , Jeff , and anyone else who's in that area at least once for lunch or early dinner.  I know Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? is in the LA area, maybe she'll join us, who knows?  Anyone else in the greater LA area that might want to join in?  Let me know, no plans are set yet, but I'd like to get something done soon, so need to contact Jeff and Octobersun soon, once I have travel plans set.  Til next time, be good to yourselves and those you love, and WRITE!
