2 months already? Wow.

Sad to say nothing has really happened. We've been having a lot of visitors lately. Late August, Kelly and Ryan and Wesley came to visit. It was a short visit, so we couldn't do much, but it was a fun time. Now, Laura's parent's and a friend are visiting for about 2 weeks. Then a week after they leave, my Mom is coming out for a couple of days.

I think that's it for visits for a while.

Been productive in the realm of hygiene and health, lately, mainly because it's free/cheap. I've had a dentist appointment, all free thanks to insurance. I had an eye exam and am getting, gasp, glasses in a week or so. Not sure how much I'll wear them, but, we'll see. During the test, I could see pretty clearly, though. Crazy.

Other than that, work is chugging along. Still watching Netflix. Still surfing. My WoW subscription is expiring, whoa, today! I thought today was the 3rd or something, but apparently it's the 5th. Okay, then, no more WoW for now, I guess.

We've been trying to budget recently as well, in terms of saving and stuff. We got a basic plan going, but we're already spending a little out of the budget. Ugh. Hard to do when you see something cheap and just want to buy it. We just need to win the lottery. That would be awesome.

It's been super cold the last couple of days, at night mostly. It's weird how in Laramie, 30 would be WARM at times, but it's like 60s out and I'm shivering. I turned on the heat to 66 today to keep it warm for the dogs. I think Kip was cold through the night too, because he's been wanting up to sleep next to Laura the last couple of nights. Callie is fine. She's always panting anyway.

Fall colors are starting to come and looks like just around when my Mom visits, the Japanese Garden should be in full Fall bloom. That will be cool to see and photograph.

I haven't photographed much lately, either. It could be partly due to motivation, partly due to not have a photography partner to compare photos and techniques with (at least, not locally), partly not knowing where the good places are, and, finally, partly not knowing what I'm "into" at the moment. I want to move out of the nature thing for a little bit, and do some urban architecture type stuff. Old buildings, deserted buildings, the like. I did see a cool like "dirt road" right by our house I want to photography sometime in the morning when it's foggy out. I like those kinds of shots.

Well, better get back to work, lol.
