THE SHINING CONTINUES...

 

Although smoke and Covid 

remain a constant, 

there are some small changes 

to our little world

 here at the Cottage.

The weather has become

 less of a problem.  

The heat has turned down a notch

 and that means the fans 

can be put away for the time being.

  However, there are no doubts 

that they will come back out again 

before summer is over.

The Shining of Sunflowers continue

 to make their way into the decor.  

This week the parlor is on display,

 but only to a very small degree. 

 I am trying to use only what I have on hand so there isn't a plethora

 of items to choose from.

  I did find out, however, 

that the heat was the main reason 

for my lack of energy,

 and not laziness,

 as I had feared!

Cooler temps

 made me want to do a 

deep cleaning of the parlor

 but the bending and moving 

jump started my back issues again 

so don't know

 how much further I will get.

The smoke is really strong today

 but nothing compared

 to the fires and storms 

going on elsewhere.

An exciting update on Jacenda's job search:

She got an interview with a hospital

in Eureka, CA (Humboldt County). 

She actually accepted 

but was not committed until a certain date.

 Then she got another interview 

and was hired 

at San Francisco VA Hospital. 

It is a new grad nurse position,

 nursing and training

 in all hospital units for a year, 

then choosing her preferred unit. 

She has a certain 

amount of time to accept. 

Tomorrow, 

she has another interview with UCSF, 

which is her dream job,

 so if she is hired 

then everything will change again. 

We are so proud of her

 and wish her all the luck

 in finding her perfect job 

and I will let you know 

how it plays out.

Our TV critic for this week is 

Brother, 

one of Tami's and Tim's furry kids.  

He watched Netflix's "Penguin Town", 

a well done documentary series 

about a yearly migration of penguins

 to a town in South Africa.

  He couldn't wait to call

 Grandpa and Grandma

 and tell us:

"All paws up for this one".

Happy Sunflower Days to all of you.
