You would think that I would have lots of time to post on my blog being off in the summer. But it seems like I have kept myself busy with so many other things.

Of course the boyfriend and I have been spending lots of time together going to concerts and wineries and visiting friends. We're off on our vacation on Thursday. We're going to Napa to visit wineries for a few days. I'm looking forward to it because I've never been to California. I know we'll have a great time.

And I only have a few more weeks off until I go back to work. I try to do all the things I like to do while I'm off from work but at the same time I try to do all the things I can only do when I'm off. I've been making appointments and such. I've been to the doctor, dentist, and have an appointment to go to the eye doctor in two weeks. I like to get all this done in the summer so I don't have to take any days off during the school year. I hope to get it all done. That just reminded me that I need to get my car inspected. It never ends.

I've also scheduled the delivery and installation of a new dishwasher. Back in June we had some back thunderstorms and my building lost power a few times. One of those times when the power came back on we had a big power surge and it zapped my dishwasher's electronics. It has worked a few times since then but it's basically dead now. I had a repair woman come out and give me an estimate. The estimate was half the cost of a new one so I decided to forget the repairs and just get a new one. Just one more thing that will be done in the summer so I don't have to deal with it during the school year.

Busy, busy, busy!
