Back to the Grind

 I'm back in the gym with a new workout series themed "less is more" and "you need more stability you rat". It's going well. 

I finished a new project this week - 2 photo books. One of the year in review and another of our wedding pics. I was rushed to finish due to the "2 free photo book" deal that ended on Sunday. 

My work is going. I'm still in Cottonwood 3x per week driving hither and yon and I'm fighting every day with them so that they won't drive me crazy. The good news is that this won't last forever. The better news is that I have all my Flagstaff people who are on my side and trying to help Cottonwood be better. It's nice not to do it alone. 

Roger's family. And also me. 

Tuesday night we got the call that Roger's gpa had passed. It was a good thing as he had been suffering for months now, but that doesn't make it any easier. We had a lovely funeral and viewing on Saturday, complete with cookout and 3-day family hangout. The best part was all the rain and hail he brought down for us to 1) cut the funeral short, and 2) put out the fires raging all over the state. Bring on the monsoons.

Speaking of people dying, Grampy. Still isn't dead, but everyone is acting like he is. Every time I see a post, I have to do a double take to make sure I didn't miss the memo. The Chin and I are planning on flying out for a funeral, but it would be REALLY convenient if the Mimster changed her mind and looked for a weekEND. (thx in advance)

I'll tell you what WASN'T in short supply - the jokes. (And baking trays).

Roger's been spending a lot of time with family (which makes sense in the circumstance) and took a new job so we literally never cross paths. Which makes me cranky. BUT since I booked out some time in advance, he HAD to come to my work social outing this week. It was - you guessed it - Midget Mania. A highly inappropriate but totally needed WWE midget fighting ring at the local dance bar. Hilarious. So many short jokes and plenty of good humored midgets.
